City Books is situated at the 50-yard line of the Draft zone. If you want to support us on IBD but cannot make it down next weekend (traffic, closures, and parking, OH MY!), we will be replaying Independent Bookstore Day on May 2! Join us!

@katrinaravioli.bsky.social Happy, happy birthday! Wishing you a magnificent day. Enjoy the cake... or PIE!

I just had a meal that was so spectacular that I wanted to cry. Still might 😭. (Al's whatever was wonderful, but my swordfish was tremendous, and I don't even like swordfish.)

I refuse to but anything from a store that says T**mp 2028 anything. Because fuck you for not understanding our constitution and democracy.

Hic. Great.

Let's do this, Hemingway. (I can't seem to load photos, so imagine an orange kitty relaxing in the shade at Hemingway's House.)

Perfect lazy breakfast at Blue Heaven. Now back on our balcony with a Bailey's coffee. I enjoy people watchin.

Oh hell yes, Key West. Way to greet us! (I prayed for rain. We arrive to stunning blue skies, get bags and a taxi, then BAM, tiny drops on the taxi windows. Get to adorable room in a full on downpour. I am so happy. Might be a witch, but I fuckin love it.)

Holy UConn end of game. Damn.

On leash, Major was peeing in a yard as assholes blaring horn pulled into their driveway. "NO! DO IN YOUR OWN YARD!" Me, smiling while replying, "He only peed, I have bags for everything else." "I don't care!" I couldn't help but laugh, replying "Happy Easter, old cunt."

This weekend was lovely! Al and I stayed at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem for the weekend. Weather was wonderful. Hotel was magnificent. Town was terrific. Just all around great weekend!

On 412 in Bethlehem, PA. There's a Wawa down the street from a Sheetz. Sheetz rules.

I love bridges. Even if they aren't Alomon Gold.

Pi Day was delicious!

I love my lil chickadee friends! They talk to me as I fill the feeders. (Shitty photo, lovely bird.)

Gorgeous, perfect day in small town CT.

Major is a vey quiet little potato. Is is extremely unusual for him to bark. A deer was shocked by one loud Major noise, but chose not to run. I told her I'm sorry for the early am disturbance, and that she could stay. She did. I asked Major to come inside because our Al feeds deer. All is well.

Hello, fog. 😍

I replied to a simple post on Threads. In a little over 24 hours, it has over 6900 likes. All because I shared I named a vehicle "My Boyfriend" so I could get out of uncomfortable conversations easily. ("My boyfriend is waiting outside.") Women really would choose the bear.

Watched a hawk fly into a backyard tree.

Woops. Hit send too fast!

Home safe! Easy drive back from Philly... mostly just rain, turning white as I got deeper into CT. Yard looks pretty. I beat the blizzard!

Same, Steve. Same.

My Funko Pop velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rex are really off balance. Finally found the perfect space for them... in my office, looking out the window.

If anyone sees a giant topiary dinosaur (TJ Maxx?),would you lemme know ASAP, please? #WANT

Gonna need no one to score anymore this quarter so my dog can win $500.

Have any of yinz tried the pop up SAD bar in Oakland (Pittsburgh)? Seems amazing. (Al and I were watching KDKA news via Amazon Prime TV and saw a story on the light bar. If you struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder, please try it out!)

Major had to pee after I did, but unfortunately he had to go out in the snow to do it. I always feel bad for the boy when we have extreme temps. Summer heat is worse, but below freezing and snow can't be super awesome.

To me, flowers he brought home from a grocery store run because he knows sunflowers are one of my favorites and "they looked good, I thought of you" will beat out red roses delivered on one specific February day. Every damn time.

Just when I absolutely *need* a break, this incredible photo crosses my feed and helped my heart. Huge thanks to @jocelynanderson.bsky.social for posting phenomenal photos. (Great blues remind me of mom. I really miss her. She passed in 2006, but sometimes I just want my mum, ya know?)

31 degrees.

Crows are PISSED at a hawk outside of my office window. (That's Major's snoring that is also heard in the video.)

Many moons ago, @jennyduceour.bsky.social did a one card pull for me. I forget exactly what she said this card meant, (something about maternal and nurturing?) but I kept the photo Jenny sent.

Plenty of dog food here. We'll be fine as long as Major is taken care of.

11:11 ✨️ Happy Thursday

I need to grind coffee (kind coworker sent beans he roasted). Grinder offers choices between course, medium, and fine. I want to use my machine to brew pots (not French press or anything). Anyone care to educate my happy ass on what I need to pick? (Otherwise, I'm going medium.) #CoffeeCoffeeCoffee

Connecticut getting some lovely snow.

When your coworker arrives at work before you. So judgemental.

But her emails. I just don't think she's qualified. Fuck every damn one of you who voted for the felon.

I won our company's fantasy football league (autodraft & optimize line-up every week - I can't name even three current players in the whole stupid NFL) and I won January's Employee of the Month. It is so hard to be excited over my privileged shit when so much awful is all around, everywhere I look.
