This is why I will fight to protect my community bookstore - and if you're lucky enough to have one, you should too! Every dollar you spend there is an investment in the ability to browse. In the expertise that brings you the amazing 'staff picks' shelf tags. Not to mention community events 💚📚

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but I’m here to remind you that nighttime thoughts aren’t real thoughts. Things will feel a bit less scary tomorrow in the light of a new day…I promise. Sending you hugs. Now go to bed and rest up. 💜

Philosophers have long wrestled with the problem of evil but have not adequately considered the problem of thiccness

My toddler has discovered the song baby shark and I find her singing it all the time. It’s super cute. 🥰

Oh shit. I forgot to edit my Thrive automatic order and so it ordered everything in the cart even though I don’t need everything. It’s too late to make changes and so I’m now on the hook for $220 worth of random groceries. 😭😭😭

the bar is in hell

I miss being a Pats fan. I married a Dolphins fan and he hates Drake Maye and the Pats with a burning passion. Me being from NE and being used to having a team that often goes to the Superbowl didn’t hurt him as much as it did this year. Thankfully I was a casual pats fan and can play nice.

no new pictures, where are you mentally

I know it's the weekend and I should try to relax but I've just seen this and I feel seen.

Matthew Castle is a super talented Violinist and I hope he gets to realize his dream of recording a Studio Ghibli tribute album. It’s bound to be gorgeous. 💜 Go check out Simply Ghibli on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

Just saw a video on insta of a guy showing his 90 yr old grandma an episode of heated rivalry. Made me miss my grandma. I think she would’ve liked watching it with me. She used to let me watch Spanish soaps with her that were pretty explicit.

If cold pizza can be acceptable breakfast food then anything can be breakfast food. Breakfast is just whatever food you fancy in the morning. And “breakfast for dinner” is always fine too. Food is food. Eat what makes you happy, whenever. 💜

It’s my graphic novel book club meeting tonight. We’re discussing paper girls vol 1. Hopefully everyone who signed up shows. Sigh. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 Last time I had a lively discussion with a good bunch and I felt hopeful we might be gaining traction on the group.

not my house, but I know my way around

I’ve got the late night munchies so bad right now. I’m going to make a cup of sleepy time tea and then go to bed. I need to get some good rest.

look, it’s not like I expected this year to be *better* than 2025. but I didn’t expect it would get this bad this fast and that’s on me

Daily bunny no.3197 needs to touch grass

My mom is coming over tomorrow to watch my baby and the house is kinda messy and cluttered but I’ve worked really hard to make the kitchen spotless and that should count for something.

Having a mental illness is wild because I have to pay good money to keep my sanity and even then if life becomes more stressful than usual/ the routine changes/the seasons change/hormone changes…etc etc it can throw things off kilter. So yea if I think about it a bit it’s pretty fucked up. 🫠

Finally caught up on heated rivalry and made it to “the cottage”. Omg. I’m so glad I avoided spoilers. 💜

Slightly diminish a band: 18ish Pilots

A few years ago I was gifted an Xbox 360 and I only just recently set it up. So now I’m watching my dvd copy of the studio ghibli film The Wind Rises on it like it’s the mid 2010s. Super happy to have a dvd player cause the only other console I own is the switch.

Name: Nissa, Nissy Bunny Age: 7 Likes: ear skritches, cuddles, fuzzy blankets, window hunting the birds/squirrels and treats Dislikes: aggressive pets by the toddler, being left alone downstairs when we go upstairs to bed, dry food Talents: being patient with toddler and hunting #caturday

While stuck in traffic I snapped a photo of a beautiful New England scene. 💜

My hot take is that I don’t want any kids to die of vaccine preventable illnesses, even if their parents are anti vaxo fucko buckos. I want the kids to live.

Hear me out, what if we all stayed in bed tomorrow?

Binging The Pitt before the new season. It’s so freaking good.

When I was in my 20s I had a brilliant idea of super gluing my broken Fitbit while sitting in bed. I spilled super glue onto my leg and it glued my joggers to my inner thigh. I panicked and ripped them off my leg taking the skin off with it. I have an oval shaped scar to this day.

Made pesto orzo and baked chicken thighs seasoned with Italian herbs, lemon and drizzled with olive oil. So simple but I’m super pleased with it as a meal. Think it’s going to into the regular rotation. 😋💜

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

If you plan to collect physical media, please sign up to your local library too 💛

Just puttered around the house tidying up little messes everywhere for the past hour and all I have to show for it is a sink full of dishes that was previously empty.

Hey. Hey, you. Yeah, you, specifically. I'm glad you are the you you are. The world's better because you're you. 💜

Natural frizzy/poofy brushed and quickly blow dried curly hair vs flat ironed hair tamed with sleek and shine anti frizz serum (argan oil). The second pic still shows that I have a lot of volume in my hair. Let’s see how long this lasts. Maybe I’ll wear a bonnet.

listen up cats and kittens, it's time to do self care. stop what you are doing. go do the thing. the nightmares will still be going on when you get back. go. 💊⏰

I thought Tonies were really over hyped and not worth it but I got one for my daughter for Christmas and it’s been an absolute hit. It’s been keeping her entertained for long spans at a time. The screenless interface with the toys is pretty genius. 💜 #notsponsored

Cappuccino cake was so pretty and I bet it tastes as delicious as it looks.

My greatest 2025 achievement was surviving another year in a dystopian hellscape. My 2026 resolution is surviving another year in a dystopian hellscape.

Barky New Year from my home to yours.

Don't forget the ~ when wishing someone a feliz año nuevo

The baby’s asleep! I repeat, the baby’s asleep. It’s party time!* Woo! *Time to have uninterrupted iPad/HBO time.

"are you single?" no i'm an album

Closing out the new year feeling a bit poorly but this ramen is giving me life.

First day of 2025 vs last day of 2025.

Happy last day of the year! Good riddance! Hope you have a good send off and end it on a positive note doing what makes you happy, surrounded by people you love and love you back whole heartedly. Love y’all. Thanks for being a great community. 💜

Go watch Big Fat Quiz of the Year! I watched it last night on YouTube and it was fun seeing all the memorable things that happened this past year. Some things are very UK centric of course cause its a Channel 4 show, but I got most the references. Spoilers * Nick Mohammed from Ted Lasso is a nerd.

The baby is asleep so now I finally get to watch Fantastic 4: First Steps with my partner for the first time. I’m excited!

Having a Jewish Christmas by ordering a bunch of Chinese food for lunch (and having the leftovers for dinner). Hope you have a wonderful day however you choose to spend it! Remember to protect your peace and take a moment to yourself if you need it. Love y’all. 💜🎄
