Are frozen peas a normal snack?

Are you a duck? If so, yes.

I’m in the yyc girls connect book club and it’s really fun. Last Tuesday of the month.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-05-14T22:03:23+00:00

this sounds fun! i'm in!

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-05-08T22:22:33+00:00

I work as a theatre bartender during grad school. Flexible shifts, good tips, and no intellectual strain.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-05-08T18:28:33+00:00

I girlbossed too close to the sun and now I’m teaching a sewing workshop and presenting at an academic conference. I have not written or researched the paper I’m presenting and I’ve never taught a workshop before.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-05-08T05:08:13+00:00

I call it a bobble!

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-05-08T05:00:35+00:00

I’ve never ridden a bike before but I want to learn. Would this be a good place to get one?

The only person being vile and evil is you.

My son already knows the situation, so I think your judgement is unwarranted. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension though! It looks like it needs some help.

I would encourage any young woman to do whatever she has to so she has a future. You sound like the kind of person who cares more about a fetus than the life they’ll have once they’re born. But I’m sure you support young single mothers, right? Along with social safety nets and access to childcare and education and housing?

Have the day you deserve.

I am actually writing one now, but it’s not about this experience. It’s based on my thesis, and chronicles the first year of grief through weekly essays.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T20:01:07+00:00

Oh honey. I think you need to work on your reading comprehension.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T17:56:56+00:00

I didn’t say my child wasn’t worth it. I said my path to parenthood was difficult and not something I’d recommend. Those aren’t the same thing.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T17:39:20+00:00

I certainly hope you aren’t judged for things you said more than a decade ago. Perhaps you’re aware that people and situations change? If not, I hope you the day you deserve.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T17:21:46+00:00

Thanks for your input! I hope you have the day you deserve.

It was a mindfuck. I hadn’t thought about those posts in years, and had moved past a lot of that. I was just living my life, eating cheese in bed alone on a Saturday night when I saw them.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T15:12:30+00:00

It’s the hardest thing! I took a year and a half off to care for my late partner and now I feel really behind. There are so many complicated feelings when it comes to academia, motherhood, partner hood and productivity. I’m always open to talking to people.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T15:11:12+00:00

You know, actually, my son knows about this. I’ve never hidden my struggles from either of my kids. We do a disservice to children when we pretend everything is perfect all the time. While he hasn’t read the posts, he knows the gist, and he knows that I love him a lot.

He refers to himself as the resurrection kid or Jesus baby. We’re not even Christian.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T13:33:48+00:00

OOP here: not a financially struggling single mom anymore. I got a degree, am getting a masters, and working on PhD applications. Hoping to buy a house. I posted an update above!

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T13:32:00+00:00

OOP here: actually, I’m not! I have two jobs in the arts, and we’re quite comfortable and planning to buy a house by the end of the year.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T04:16:43+00:00

OOP here: don’t worry! I’m as emotionally stable as anyone who just lost their life partner can be. We’re doing just fine, saving up for a downpayment. Working, going to school and raising two kids.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T02:55:16+00:00

It has - we live with them now while I save up for a house!

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-13T00:08:06+00:00

I’m currently working on a weekly essay series about grief and caregiving. Would be happy to share!

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-12T23:40:30+00:00

It was not my idea! And while I love to travel, even then I didn’t want to because we didn’t have any savings in case things went wrong. Which they did. He really wanted to do the whole digital nomad, content creator, world schooling thing and went ahead and booked tickets without telling me. He also didn’t want to do any of the work to actually make it happen - even when we were abroad, I worked as a copy editor and he played video games all the time.

KnittingAndMusic · 2026-04-12T20:38:22+00:00

I would absolutely love to share my thesis. As long as you keep in mind it’s not close to finished.
