Breaking my week off social media to recommend this book. As I told @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social , it has roller coaster pacing and an excellent abuse of punctuation.

Feeling under the weather, grateful to @nan69.bsky.social for this wonderful book. And yes, football. (Aggies are so intense)

My favorite cover of this gorgeous song by Prince 😢. I vould listen to Chris sing anything. Especially love his cover of Billy Jean. 😢

Unbothered. Moisturizerized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing.

One of the highlights of the whole year.

Taking advantage of a non-rainy day to enjoy Washington Park with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

Finished up this just now. Once I got about 1/3 through I couldn't set it down. Some of the creepiest body horror, vampire horror I've ever read. The historical context adds a thick layer of sadness for everything that has gone before. I'll have nightmares about prairie dogs and big fish tonite.

I lived in Romania for 2 years, and they have a strong love of literature. I predict HS will be well received.

Seeing lots of people in my feed remarking on how they have gotten back into reading novels this year, and I'm one of them. I feel like my brain is healing after years of too much stoopid mindless scrolling.

There is more to know about eels than I ever imagined. Best December ever!

I might be the Mavericks biggest fan, and losing Raul ... I'll be in my feelings today. 😢 youtu.be/dfuIlchP9gk?...

At Depoe Bay today, with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social. Aye, it was a feisty ocean beyond the sea wall and the waves were singing the song of rock slaughter, even if it takes a generation, or ten...

I picked this up bc I loved Stiff, and Mary is a fun, witty writer, but I guess I didn’t consider where replacement parts come from in that moment, bc I absolutely can't bear to read it. 😢
