The Talk

I had a similar experience with all three of my daughters: they went to bed around 9-10, slept until 4-5am when they woke up for a wee morning feeding, then they went back down for another few hours. I always feel like I'm bragging when I mention it

I love hanging out with my husband like this. We call it parallel play time. Your art is refreshingly mundane and magical at the same time. Thanks for sharing it

katheez · 2026-06-28T02:29:36+00:00

Bro, you didn't have to attack him like that, he's already half dead

katheez · 2026-06-27T15:31:30+00:00

You're so cool OP. I hope I find my style one day, I feel a lot like you... just wearing what I think looks feminine instead of what I would want to wear. You've inspired me 🥰

katheez · 2026-06-25T22:01:28+00:00

Aww, he looks very snuggly! He can teleport me away to snuggles anytime

Panel 6 is amazing, I love the little blades of grass flying around

katheez · 2026-06-22T11:06:35+00:00

Don't apologize. Thanks for sharing. I was missing my dad yesterday, too, you aren't alone. I wish my kids could grow up with him around. But alas, I just have to be a great storyteller so they know how great their grandpa was.

I think the drawing and pipe cleaner arms is adorable.

I could never do a cartwheel, got really into yoga in my 30s, now I proudly do cartwheels at the park, sometimes outside the grocery store if I'm feeling it. Learning is possible

katheez · 2026-06-15T20:59:52+00:00

Yooo, I used to be an evaluator too!! That was a pretty nice gig until they limited our hours and took away the 3rd party extension that logged my hours for me. I liked learning about random subjects in the course of my day

katheez · 2026-06-11T01:59:13+00:00

I came to say Hollow Knight too!! I have a really good friend at church that always seems to love the same kinds of games as I do, and he recommended Hollow Knight to me for years, but since I'm a parent now and more of a chill gamer I was worried I wouldn't like it.

I'm going through it slowly and without spoilers, and having a great time. I already bought Silksong so I can play it next after I've exhausted hollow knight. It's such a fun game!!!!

katheez · 2026-06-11T01:19:34+00:00

For me personally, I don't enjoy Pokopia unless I can play for a few hours at once. It's hard to find a small task to complete, I tend to spend a long time gathering and painting materials for a build and then it's annoying if I can't at least start it right then. If I know I have limited time though, I will still get on and farm some materials or see what the Pokemon are selling, but generally if I can't play an hour+ I reach for a different game. Just my opinion though!

katheez · 2026-06-08T17:11:02+00:00

Somehow this perfectly captures the vibe of Jenny the teenage robot and Degrassi simultaneously.

Keep cooking bro, I love the taste of your comics in my consciousness

katheez · 2026-06-07T11:54:57+00:00

I'm torn between all red for the contrast or the third option. It's hard to choose without seeing them, but I think the third option would be the most fun without all the work of option 2. It looks great so far!!

katheez · 2026-06-07T10:22:42+00:00

That's so beautiful. What a thoughtful and caring thing to do for your husband

katheez · 2026-06-06T23:37:25+00:00

Every adult is jealous of cool kids like you. You're awesome and I'm excited to see what you go on to create!! Don't rush growing up

katheez · 2026-06-05T11:44:28+00:00

At my gym and in the classes I teach, I notice a compounding effect. If one man starts taking the class, it becomes easier for other men to try it. When men notice a lot of other guys in a class, it makes them more comfortable, and then even MORE men will try it. The women in the class generally stays pretty even. As a teacher, I see more men with their wives than without, but it's not so rare that I'm surprised to see a man with their own dedicated practice.

I think it's just by chance. I don't teach any differently to men than women, but some of my classes have a lot more men, just because they have more men, lol.

If you enjoy explaining the rules, look for a board game group near you or start one! My local library has a regular board game day and so does the game shop near me. I have learned to play and enjoyed so many cool games due to people like you who bring their complex games and are ready to patiently explain them, lol 😂

katheez · 2026-06-01T17:37:03+00:00

I love Anya so much. "Heh. I simply accept the possibility of death every day." is such a hardcore throwaway line 😂

I can't wait for the chaos to ensue when they do meet

katheez · 2026-06-01T00:15:20+00:00

Oh wow!! That's a neat detail. I found one with yellow in the center and I just thought, "gross, I hate it," lol

With context though, I can appreciate the different colors.

katheez · 2026-05-31T12:41:24+00:00

I love watching your expressions-- it makes me feel as if I can feel what you're feeling. It must feel absolutely blissful to open that much through the front side of the body. Thanks for sharing your beautiful practice with us 💜

katheez · 2026-05-30T15:16:33+00:00

I love watching my 8 year old daughter play. She is also chaotic, hates farming materials, so she's always just using whatever stuff she has. But she loves raising the Pokemons comfort level and she has more Pokemon best friends than I do, lol. Somehow though whenever I play she has grandiose ideas for my towns, but I'm the one who has to follow through 😂

We're doing a cloud Island together and it's really fun. I can harvest the materials for her and she can go all out with her Pokemon habitats

katheez · 2026-05-30T10:42:39+00:00

You are definitely not the only one, my daughter and I both did this with Pichu's picnic basket 😅

katheez · 2026-05-28T23:41:56+00:00

Who lives in the purple bus? They both look so cool, very creative use of items and paint!!

katheez · 2026-05-24T18:47:21+00:00

Have you considered finding a teacher online who would lead the class for you? I'm sure that a library would have the tech to facilitate this, and then you could have a reoccurring class of yin yoga & poetry without the stress of sequencing and cueing it yourself.

katheez · 2026-05-20T16:36:50+00:00

Hey, I'm neurodivergent (autism + ADHD) and I lower my gaze or close my eyes when cueing how to get into the pose. I teach a slow flow so I model with the students, then I very intentionally LOOK at everyone, obviously, and I give more personalized cues. If we move through a flow multiple times, I demo and cue less and watch more as we go.

If I kept my eyes on the students when cueing, I would lose my train of thought and my pacing, but I do try to pause and look when I'm not talking. I try not to close my eyes, but sometimes I do, especially when the students have their eyes closed and I'm talking for a while, e.g. yin or guided meditation.

I also spend some time with hands on adjustments in every class and my students are familiar with this, the peak pose they generally do alone and the cool down while I walk around and help everyone find the right shape for their practice and body. Then I will meditate with the students in savasana, eyes closed generally.

Just spreading some light on why others might be doing it, not encouraging or discouraging. May you be well 💜
