I laughed out loud at the clueless and maniacal suburban little league baseball families. A plot line for a book. Have you considered laying road spikes to the sides of your driveway?
Hiiiii! I love your rants and the way you describe memories. I look forward to your Substack!
We had the parking issue at a previous house and put cones out! Literally a few feet past our driveway on each side, then across the driveway. Maybe 5 cones total? It worked wonderfully.
I fricking hate baseball season for the same reason. Actually, I think I just don't like baseball.
Anyway, love Sally Rooney (2 out of 3...not that last pedantic one), love "She's Come Undone, " love most of what you've said...and I bought MEGABABE which is MEGA-GREAT. Thanks for doing what you do, like recommending a bunch of very useful stuff.
AANNNDDD - if things get worse, do what we did in Chicago during snowstorms...after clearing the snow, we would put chairs out in the "saved spot." Yeah, yeah, not nice. But it is also not nice to take a spot that someone spent over an hour clearing of heavy snow with the kids in tow.... or in your case, paid taxes on.
Sandwich is perfect. Catherine Newman is a delight. I'm excited to start All Fours and once I finish (or DNF!) I'll be excited to hear why you DNFed it. I feel like so many people are talking about it.
I sympathize with your rant! I'm personally someone that doesn't even like when people park in front of our house even though I know there's nothing we can do about it.

OMG if someone took my spot after I cleared snow from it...I would lose my mind!!!
I’m currently reading Sandwich and it’s become my whole personality. I DNFd All Fours. I’d love to hear your thoughts when you finish.

Re: the driveway... have you tried a sign that says do not block driveway? Kinda tacky BUT they seem to work. Someone in our neighborhood has one and it keeps the school pickup line from blocking theirs. https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/H-3546/Parking-and-Traffic-Signs/Do-Not-Block-Drive-Sign-12-x-18

I don't normally care at all but don't block me in weirdos!
Amy, this graphic is amazing. Brb going to pin it to catapult you to fame. Happy summer!
Thank you, I'll remember you when I am famous, and how I confessed to you alone about my Twitter crush boyfriend lolololol.
