Confusing my co-workers by wishing them a happy Mr. R2-Bree2’s birthday season.

Greatest Tweet I’ve ever seen before Twitter became what it is.

Every time I’m faced with the ‘but men face the draft’. Why is it always men who did not enlist, and are super silent when they hear I did enlist. Why. Is it always them.

Florida decided they have too many kids or what?

Tail-end of the year, my people. Slowed down a bit due to a lovely friend gifting me a LEGO Millenium Falcon, but we hit 230 books for 2025!!

Still need a clean out/reshuffle to happen in my library.

Please boost this folks!

When I got married, I took on Thanksgiving. I hosted my husband’s family. I made turkey & all the bullshit. After 2 yrs of that I realized I hate Thanksgiving dinner food. So much work. So little reward. So. I stated everyone was still welcome, but we’d be having tacos. 1/2

‘Girls don’t like Star Wars’ Explain me, then. Explain me, and my Darth Vader tattoo.

A tough part of my life is that Mr. R2 (not a developer) expects me (a developer) to provide a better answer to the question ‘why is this streaming svc shoddy’ than ‘their job is not to show you what you want, it’s to get your eyeballs on the most ad content possible’

Everyone’s* been clamoring for a reading update! *everyone == no one #BookSky #ReadMoreBooks #ProbablyNotThisManyIHaveNoLife

New bookbind for a friend that I effed up, but it’s OK, we’re still learning. I do not love the white on brown, but didn’t want to toss the whole case! #BookSky #BookBinding

Mr R2 dresses very nicely normally. I normally dress like I force travelers to answer a riddle to cross my bridge. Anyway. Went to a wedding today.

One of the greatest feminist icons of all time.

So the definition of the term ‘barely legal’ actually means the person described IS LEGAL but JUST BARELY. Meaning they JUST TURNED 18. 15-yr-old girls are GIRLS. They are children not of legal age. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Look. ‘Thank you’ to a vet on veteran’s day is….I’m sorry. That is NOTHING. If you don’t vote for Veteran’s affairs and benefits. You don’t mean it. Walk the walk. Action. Not words. I am so tired of hearing ‘thank you’ from people who loudly vote against vet services.

This book has only been waiting to be bound for weeks. Getting fancy with raised bands on the spine. #Bookbinding #Booksky

To so many who aren’t aware!!! Donating money to your food bank should always stretch further than donating actual food. I found a local, non-religious one where $1 can provide up to 5 meals. Donated $100 last week, planning for more this month. If you have the means, please help.

After 100k pages, 200 books felt gauche to announce. But the past few days, it took 3 days to read 500 pages because I paused to clean house. Anyhow.

‘JFC, men are so fucken stupid’ Me: watching Chief of War (and watching real life)

Are you having a civil war? #satire

We did it, folks. 100k pages this year. I’d like to thank the academy, and apologize to everything I’ve ignored to make this happen.

Yesterday was our 17th wedding anniversary (who said it wouldn’t last?) We engaged in an absolutely lovely weekend at the lake with lots of rain (weird for us in AZ, so we really appreciate it). Pics from the porch Sat afternoon, then Sun morning during a storm.

Finally becoming an Egyptologist could fix me.

In case anyone wonders if I have a life. No. This week I solved my 4x4 Rubik’s Cube and read books.

I’m making chili. It is officially #Fall

My 16-yr-old nephew made his professional soccer debut tonight by starting for North Texas SC. #ProudAunt #47 #TheySaySoccerTalentComesFromYourYoungestAunt

It’s been a few minutes since I assaulted you with reading progress, friends! But I’ve been buried under my TBR which, just keeps getting longer. Hope you’re all well! #BookSky

Comedians who say you can’t make jokes anymore without being sexist or homophobic are just lazy.

I am BEGGING reporters to stop using police language in cases like these until you actually know what happened

Tonight is our annual Labor Day fish fry at the lake so if you’re in the Roosevelt neighborhood, stop by.

Just told Mr R2-Bree2 that any pants can be tear-away pants if you’re strong enough and got the eyes closed, long-suffering sigh reaction which is always my goal.

Sometimes it’s incredibly disappointing when your hands cannot craft what your brain dreams up. Painting Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead was a battle. Huge thanks to @capsteverogers.bsky.social for cleaning up my Molnija images!!

Was a slow reading weekend, but hit 140 for the year. I honestly did not set out to beat last year but here we all are.

Gorgeous day for a boat ride + some swimming. Yes, we bought this boat from a friend who had an old man bar installed, and make fun all you want, we love that thing.

Look, I knew that boys were not keeping up with girls in all the things in the US, but watching the World Championships of swimming — people are failing boys. They aren’t being raised to greatness. The number of final heats with zero US men in them?? Why.

Getting ready to re-read The Haberdashers series by Sue London, who graciously sent me copies. ( @cmdrsue.bsky.social ) in order to design edge art for them!

@cmdrsue.bsky.social I thought you were gonna send me used copies you had laying around, not brand-newbies!! Thank you! Art design underway!!

Is it weird I have an entire picture album of my partner sleeping? BUT HE LOOKS SO SWEET. It’s not weird.

Today I DNF’d two separate books. Read about 200 pages of each and…life is too short to read books I don’t enjoy.

Not to brag, but out of the 3 girls my parents have, I’m pretty sure I’m their 6th, maybe even 5th favorite daughter.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Me: this vinyl pattern is taking forever to cut. Guess I’ll play Switch while I wait.’ Nintendo: well, actually.

The most off-putting thing for me watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is Captain Pike dating Mrs. McMurray.

Did some art today, painting my copy of The Fallen by Thomas Sniegoski. Love how it looks on my shelf!

Anyone out there a shitty airbrusher like me who wants to commiserate?

Last week I went to a leadership summit for my company & the number of people who said ‘empathy’ should be part of leadership like it was some groundbreaking philosophy. You should carry empathy for all people. Not just your employees. And I feel like that’s why we are where we are as a country.

Ate cantaloupe instead of Doritos. This is now a health influencer page.

Had a work trip last week so no reading for a few days.

In my advanced age, I’ve realized a few things. Men are territorial. Not protective. Women are protective. Also, the biggest lie fed to women is that their main goal is to serve/fill the cups of others. And that THAT action should in turn fill their cups. It does not.
