weekend porch views ☕️ i love a perfectly slow morning #plants #coffee #slowmornings

just finished #TheyLurk by @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social & while I’m not a big fan of anthologies I AM a big fan of Malfi! Fierce was my favorite in that collection. As a single mom it brought on all the feels. The flashbacks interwoven with current story were so well done!

it’s a really good time to pick up reading as a leisure form of escapism

Thoughts on Trump ordering flags to half-mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Governor of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in by a Trump supporter. Democratic lives do not matter to Trump

The door at this lunch spot sounds like a squealing goblin & I giggle EVERY time someone new comes inside

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

this ‘fake fall’ got us excited; cannot wait for the permanent cool down!

i see no lie here

Drunken giggles & storytelling my mother is sitting in my lap

Road trips with my five year old include an obligatory McDonald’s lunch on the way there! Something so tasty about the fake overly preserved goodness that’s only allowed on a trip

I mean thank the gods it’s Friday 😵‍💫

A year ago I helped you over the rainbow bridge. I miss you fiercely. You were my heart dog & none will come close to what you meant to me. I rescued you in 2013; but really, you were saving me. #shiva #dogsOfBluesky #rainbowBridge

I wish I were a more consistent reader. I either take 2 weeks to finish a book or I read 2 books in a week. #currentlyreading Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison!

Sneaking into THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE by Cassandra Khaw ahead of its grand opening on July 22nd… @casskhaw.bsky.social

not me getting my kid out of bed to go look at the moon last night 🌙

enjoyed watching this storm creep in ⛈️ Nashville has been awfully dry

three day weekends are great & all until you’re a single mom to a single child

Book mail ALWAYS makes a Monday better 👻 Thanks again, @andrewcull.bsky.social!!

this story has absolutely spooked me & I’m not even halfway done yet 😬 #IncidentsAroundTheHouse

Earl Smith hanging in Albany NY. Something sinister is happening in this country draped in white nationalism. We must all stand up and fight for ALL OF US! @ashleytheebarroness youtube.com/shorts/UYtZo...

we love finding wild fungi friends! #fungiFriends

trying to grow my green thumb & id like to think im doing okay!

Chattanooga is In The House!! #NoKings

Eeeeek how exciting!! 👻 @andrewcull.bsky.social

trying to catch fireflies beneath a nearly full moon 🌙

#currentlyreading this one has been on my TBR for a looong time!

My husband is telling me that JD Vance, Marsha Blackburn, and Bill Hagerty are all down the street in a restaurant right now. For people who hate cities, they sure do love to hang out in a city.

Happy Pride Month from the ACLU of Tennessee! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ This month, we take the time to celebrate the efforts of LGBTQ+ community members past and present and speak truth to our power. Pride is still protest, today and every day — our joy is revolutionary. 🌈

my bebes; was always a dog person but these two are doing a good job convincing me cats are *okay* too.

It’s #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek! Which banned book are you picking up? Are you finishing a series? Finding a new author?

It makes me so happy to see all the different reading tracker apps popping up! #readingIsCool

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

The time between #Imbolc & #Ostara is filled with much anticipation 🌺 my plant babies (and human baby) loved the teaser yesterday!

As someone who works nonprofit with economically disadvantaged families this has me MAD. Families will be HURT by this. So distasteful, ignorant, & bigoted. Have you applied for SNAP? WIC? I have! They’re very thorough & do their due diligence on who is approved.

I’ve always been a dog person but these two have changed that #cats Remy & Juno are playful, happy, & finally gaining weight. Sisters from the same litter. Terrified of my child. Love lasers, stuffed mice, & their cat tower! And of course, love trapping me. I am aware of the cat law.

I cannot emphasize how important it is to leave reviews for marginalized authors. Fash and conservatives OFTEN leave negative reviews just to purposefully tank a book and give "validity" to their argument that "diverse books are badly written."

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?” So, she took a breath, and spoke.

My heart hurts. Three young people’s lives are forever changed. My daughter begins kindergarten next year; how do I explain to her lockdown drills? What an active shooter means? I HATE that this is our norm & our elected leaders don’t give a DAMN & fail to change a thing. #nashville

weeee book mail! I’ve had these on my TBR forever & am so excited to dig in #booksky #bookmail #bookishgirl
