Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

My mother almost burned for Sloane, the smoke alarm shrieking over three different kinds of crying as she twisted for the pot Teddy could grab, insisting it was “no trouble” even as she braced herself on the table. Her smile flickered when I asked, “They’re here again?” and she answered, “Well, where else would they…
