i realized my knees hurt so i took a tylenol about it 🏆

the ouroboros is eating ourobor-ass and we just don't talk about this

Reminder to everyone to take your meds today! I almost forgot since it's a not normal routine day.

it's almost december and i'm having feelings about that

This trans poetry project is having difficulty funding, less than five days to go! You can give it a boost on Black Friday :)

Black Friday reminder - that product with a great price being sold by a company with a name that's just a bunch of random letters may end up on our website someday because it explodes.

i think the 5 animals you've seen post would be much more fun if it was animals you'd like to see in person. i also think this because i want to make a list that has capybara and beaver on it and i can't (yet)

My books are 70% off at itch.io for a week or so. itch.io/s/170452/bla... Here's the main page in case you want to see the freebies that are up there too: xanthippe42.itch.io

every one of these i've read is delightful!

I went to bed with wet hair and it’s bad, y’all 😆

This romance novel is giving me feelings about counterculture. It came out less than ten days ago and I’ve read it twice. Also it‘s gay and there’s a baby in it catsebastian.com/after-hours-...

I feel like my biblical hebrew class has been re-teaching me English grammar the whole time

Having extremely seasonal beverage (cranberry date shrub with fizzy water)

I’m cooking a big celebratory meal because I like doing this a few times a year but the whole time my anxiety is making up problems for me to be upset about and I swear to heck, self, it will be FINE if things are suboptimal.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Buttery and delicate but not quite like a pie crust, my current tea is the fragrant dong ding from floating leaves floatingleaves.com/collections/...

A favorite cafe of mine is open this morning so I’m stopping in for coffee, and I happened to see a bus was coming in the right direction! And promptly got distracted in the bus and took it an extra stop lmao. Oh well.

@workerscircle.bsky.social has digitized the archives of their English newsletter “The Call.” I tried searching for “dance” and found some 1930s Union dances like this 1932 Chicago dance that organizers hoped marked the end of the Great Depression. www.archive.thecall.org?a=d&d=YCB193...

Nine years ago, I wrote a short piece on Indigenous names for the domesticated turkey in Mexico and Central America, which is where the bird is from.

Good morning! I decided tea by smell today (as is often the case) and landed on the almost-end of my white2tea qilan white2tea.com/products/qil...

We call it cool dude time when you hold hands with the cat

thread of discounted books that look cool that i don't need 1: mushroom day press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

my undergrad alma mater emailed me a fundraising request to "Ms. Lastname" asking me to ~be part of a movement~ and it gave me a jumpscare lol (@ixia.bsky.social did they get you too??)

For any local multiplayer on iPad/Phone folks the TestFlight for my game ‘HNGRR’ is up. It’s a game of chicken where each player’s health drops continuously and they need to eat little guys to survive, but if one player has higher hp they can be chomped too. testflight.apple.com/join/zd5urhqY

Might fuck around and buy a zine about friendship sheerspite.bigcartel.com/product/pals...

While pie’s the topic of the day, do any of y’all pre cook your fruit fillings? I saw an Erin Jeanne McDowell thing suggesting it and I might try it with my next fruit pie.

Ahhhh good book feelings!!!!

Today in things I want but don’t need publicdomainreview.org/product/maye...

I am always a sucker for collections in the "Things that go hard" category and was pleased to have found the Public domain - Pics that go hard album while at work today. www.flickr.com/photos/parfo...

Sometimes I can’t figure out if I’m rusty at reading difficult things or if the book is too difficult for me or if the things in it are counter to what I believe in a stressful way. I think it’s option 3 but now I gotta figure out what I believe about this mess.

Lmao in the book i‘m reading there are five (5) lines of regular text on this page and the rest of the page is taken up with one extensive footnote

Tea is good

new before end of year goal: bring a load of clothes and books to donate. i have had at least the clothes separated out for (mumble) months and uhhhh keep not doing it

Today I’m drinking white2tea baratteuse, a raw puerh from the pound of raw puerh coins bag. Haven’t started it yet but wanted to take down a note before I got rid of the wrapper

did someone say PIGEONS?????? campmustelid.shop

No, body, it is not time for “what if I take nap”.

I don't know the answer(s) to this but I am eager to find out

I’m reading @bogiperson.bsky.social’s delightful sci fi novel Song of Spores and it feels like reading sci fi used to feel when I was less jaded. Not sure what that says about me or the book, tbh, but I’m having a good time.

Ooh my bus is here

This exile class I’m taking and a book I downloaded forever ago are making me feel around the edges of something about radical diasporism and cosmopolitanism… I don’t know what it is yet though

I’m thinking about getting short hair—like pixie cut short—but I don’t see myself styling it daily and the internet is full of “you will REGRET THIS if you don’t style daily” and I can’t figure out if that just means “will look shlumpy androgynous“ because that’s honestly my natural state anyway

The internet keeps trying to sell me books (publishers’ sales emails,,,) but I am trying to be good and read the books I have but also nothing I have is the perfect book for me, surely a new book would be the the perfect book to read, surely this library book I have on hold is the ideal,

My brain is yelling due to too many real or imagined conflicts or difficult ideas and I just want to go back to bed so I’m doing the next best thing (couch time under 2 blankets until article club)

I finally found where to suggest the library buy books! i am unstoppable! www.spl.org/books-and-me...

good thread! I continue to have misgivings about being drawn to celebrate thanksgiving at all, but my personal thanksgiving hobby is roasting a duck for Pat and I, which is a more reasonable size bird for two that we like better than turkey that still goes with a lot of the tksgiving flavors i like

Drinking coffee out of a favored thrift store find: this hello kitty cafe mug

anyway, good news, pat woke up while i was lurking creepily near him and he made me coffee so now i have coffee
