@theagwrites @jeenonamit We’ve been traveling around Paris like this:

Most memorable blooper so far is when @YTCShepard and @jeenonamit got off a few stops too early and I saw them on the platform and was like “Nooo!!! My Americans!!!” and I had to run out of the train to drag them back in before the doors closed

Look who came to join me 😌 @jeenonamit @YTCShepard 🐀🐀🐀

@AttackotDC If you’re going to be in the house, four months seems like a time when you might expect you’ll be able to get stuff done and have baby on a reliable schedule. I knew people who had a harder time going back to work at 6 months because the baby is much more fun then.

@AttackotDC There are trade-offs! So at three months the baby is still basically laundry. A boring pet. Around four months the baby starts to play a little by themself while awake. At six months the baby is really fun and hitting a lot of memorable milestones.

Publishers Weekly had kind words for The Younger Gods in its first trade review 🥰
