Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Never have I ever crocheted lace or followed a pattern before now 🧶💚

“On the 6th she was here. On the 7th she was gone. A few days ago marked the 20th anniversary of my mom’s journey from this world into the next and so her memory has been rapping on the pulse of my heart a little louder than usual for the past several days.” On Grief, on the blog ⬇️

Solid reminder via costar today, just in case you need it, too 💙

If you haven’t read Moon of the Turning Leaves yet, please do. It is the follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow & @waub.bsky.social has gifted us a deeply moving & beautiful story filled with love, trust & resilience (+ a few moments of deep grief) within his words. A true balm for my weary heart 💙📚

A spot of good, local news.

Fuck ICE, indeed. Congratulations, Billie!

January Reading Wrap Up! 💙📚 🎧 • The Cat Who Saved the Library • The Primal of Blood & Bone 📖 • The Anthropocene Reviewed • The House on Mango Street Of note: I completed the StoryGraph January Challenge of reading at least one page every single day 🥰 Psyched!

It is so so important that you be both silly and furious right now when necessary

When an old friend brushes up against the pulse of your heart at just the right moment ❤️ Goodness, the magic of music truly is something, isn’t it?

Find a sunspot (away from all forms of ice) and soak up the warmth, just for a bit, on this wretched Monday after a wretched weekend. Take a deep breath and find your center. Gotta fill our cups somehow, Friends, so we can keep on keeping on.

Sweet little write up about a simple road filled with gobs of history and glorious art. The Santa Fe I grew up in doesn’t exist anymore, but there are many gems that persist.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Visiting family in MO = watching the snow pile up around us, contemplating the state of our country, celebrating & mourning what is happening in Minneapolis (& beyond) & reading The House on Mango Street. Be safe out there y’all. Take care of yourselves & your neighbors, we’re all we’ve got 💙

Deleted TikTok over a year ago as soon as whispers of State Run Media started swirling but couldn’t yet imagine TOS like this. So gross, so dangerous. WTactualF?

Spot on 🫠

Happy Wednesday, Beautiful Souls! ✨️🥰✨️

“…we are made of the same matter as the granite that will mark our graves & share 98% of our DNA with the moss that will cover them. We share…with each other more than atoms — we share the wild luck of having drawn from the cosmic lottery this world of birdsong and waterfalls and lichen and spring.”

Release ALL the Epstein Files!

Solid food for thought here. One of the biggest determining factors to me is how engaged in the community a blogger is. Do they reply to comments on their own blog? Do they visit others blogs and like or comment? I’m not looking for echo chambers, I’m looking for community.

I can promise you that as governor I will always stand up for New Mexicans. The violence over the last few days due to ICE only adds to the fear that communities have experienced since President Trump entered the White House. Thread continued below ⬇️

Get up and do the thing.

Name a film you saw on VHS

After 15 years of blogging, I've finally figured out the Magic Sauce! Well, I knew it all along, it just got lost in some Internet Fluff for a bit. Happy Blogiversary to me! (Super happy to be able to celebrate something *good on this January 6 day of all days, ya know?)

“We will all be diminished…”

Catch up over a Cuppa? On the blog: The liminal space between the holiday and back-to-reality + 2025 book reflections. The cute kitty is just here to wish you a restful Caturday ❤️

Super proud of myself for reaching a personal best: 56 books read in one year! A few years ago, when I first started reading again for fun, my annual goal was 12 books, so this feels huge ❤️ Cheers to a new year and all the joyful reads ahead of all! {Cover collage in comments}

If I can finish the final two books today (doable if I get off this darn phone), I’ll have read the most I’ve ever read in a year! Who knew my personal best would have me be considered a “heavy reader”? 🤔

You’re already on the path ❤️

Later guys, my ride is here!

"Libraries are a moment of repose. The silence is welcoming, the books are loved, and the workers are passionate. The world can stop for a little while, and we can lose ourselves in the loving embrace of a library." magazine.1000libraries.com/the-quiet-po...

Today’s reminder, in this liminal space where we reflect on all that’s been and imagine all that’s just on the other side of the new year: Time is not refundable, use it with intention. Happy New Years Eve Eve ❤️

• The best book I read this year • The best book I read FROM this year • The best comic book/graphic novel I read with my kid this year • The best audiobook I heard this year

Today’s reminder from Bo, The Queen of Naps: When the world feels big & hard and you need some space, give it to yourself. Curl up and rest or read your book or put on your favorite music. Drink tea, eat comfort food, have a little chocolate 🍫
