It’s going to be warmer on Christmas than it was on Memorial Day this year and one (1) person in our household is happy about it #dogsky

All fancied up for a holiday party tonite! Can’t remember the last time I wore lipstick

First flareup in a while and of course it’s the first day of winter break with a formal Yule party in 11.5 hours. That tracks.

Book 190: THE INK WITCH. *inhales deeply* ahhhh I just love a good trans-affirming #mglit in the morning

Keep seeing these teacher holiday gift guides on TikTok etc and I am begging you, mommy influencers, to just ask the teachers. Jfc some of these ideas

Christopher Anderson is a national hero🙂‍↕️

Book 187: OUTSIDE love!!!! It’s giving a #mglit mashup of like… Unwind and all the best dystopian YA fiction of the 2010s. Are there plot holes? Yeah! Who cares! Reading should be fun!!

Listen I am deathly afraid of spiders and I have to read this book for Professional Reasons and I thought, “it’ll be okay, it’s not like it’s pictures or videos.” It is NOT ok I have the HEEBIEST! JEEBIES!! I’m only three chapters in!!

Decided to try dungeon crawler Carl as I had one last audible credit. "I could close the boxes by mentally clicking the X with my mind." How else, may I ask, do you do something mentally… if not…. With your mind???

I’ve always been pretty good about being able to shake myself into consciousness even in the grips of the deepest nightmares, but I’m currently in part 3 of The Everlasting and now there’s a physical(mental) device dream me is using to wake up from bad dreams. Books are neat.

We had our second annual librarian-friends Christmas party last nite and it was so fun!! We played two bookish games, did a secret santa book exhange, ate snacks, and belly laughed for hours. I neeeeeded that 😮‍💨😮‍💨

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

Book 184: DEFANGED. This has been a pleasantly surprising year of well-written autistic #mglit!! I want more!! This book was wicked fun, action-packed, and gave like… true blood X 2010s dystopian fiction?? 5⭐️

Is there a better feeling than when someone reads a book you hated and also hates it!! 10/10 do recommend let the shit-talking begin

I’ve never not once met or heard of anyone who actually won a goodreads giveaway but by god if I don’t enter them every time for my auto-read authors

Book 181: THE BUG BANDITS. Sometimes the cover is ugly. Sometimes the audiobook narrator is unlistenable. And if you push through, sometimes you find a lil gem of a book that’s gonna make a 4th grader love reading for the first time

Ophthalmologist: “why are you here? You’re way too young for a torn retina.” *looks at scans* “Okay you have a torn retina and we are going to go ahead and do the laser procedure on it…. Today”

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, use AI.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I’ve been working for like a week on two niche perfect-to-me Christmas playlists and they are getting close to done. Christmas Magic is a soft dinner jazz playlist of newer Christmas tunes and artists with a few classics sprinkled in. Frosty gets Funky is for once you’ve had a couple eggnogs.

Ugh I hate the thing where you read a book and it’s good but you didn’t like it. I know it’s a good book. It does all the things it should do for the age group and genre and etc but I didn’t likeeeee it

I just had to frog FOUR hallmark movies worth of work bc I can’t count to 32 💀💀💀

I present to you my most treasured Christmas ornament: Little Elf Who Fixes the Lights

25 Christmas Movies, a Thread:

Decorations are up, and she’s already knocked one down 😅 #catsky #blackcat

How does Disney have more money than god and their parade costumes look THAT bad

Oh, a perfect Thanksgiving? It appears so

I have been overdressed for every wedding I’ve been to for the last,,, 20 years or something and it makes me so mad when people are WAY underdressed. Formal wedding tonite saw a dude in chinos (fine, whatever) with a T shirt and a ball cap??? Excuse me??

#book 178/150: THE DREAM HOTEL. Truly exceptional. Been a sec since I couldn’t put a book down and I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.

The thing about my entire family being on GLP1s is that there’s no fucking sense of URGENCY around breakfast

A perfect girl in the leaves today #dogsky

very little brings me as much joy as explaining the plots of romance novels to my husband. no one is more earnestly appalled. "he made a BET to marry her? but that will hurt her feelings when she finds out!" yes beloved

Has my eye always hurt or does it only hurt now that I know I have a retinal tear?

#Book 174/150: ONCE MORE UPON A TIME. The problem with (really good) #novellas is that they do everything a really good #novel does but you read them in an hour and a half and then are devastated there isn’t more.

Maybe my most grumpy old man opinion but I think the normalization of vaping in public places, bringing indoor smoking back, effectively, is fucked up. I didn’t consent to ur second-hand vape, my brother in christ

It was perfect, I’m so sad it’s over

Reader, I was not done with part four. I missed an entire GD page of the pattern

Probably 65% through All of Us Murderers and I keep putting it away bc I don’t want it to be over 😅💀 I love this book I love Zeb I want to live in the liminal space where I keep reading it forever thank you goodbye

Book 169/150: QUICKSLIVER. Would hand to an ACOTAR girlie but not my cup of tea

I made very good mushroom wild rice soup tonite. Happy DST

Done with part 4 of Helen Shrimpton’s 2025 CAL: Solstice Star. I’m learning so much and love the community for these patterns!

I got fluusted yesterday (flu + covid shots) and my ass has been absolutely HANDED to me today. Worth it, would do it again. Maybe just plan on getting your shots over a weekend or on a day you don’t have to work

Went ahead and designed our Christmas cards last nite. They’re supposed to be like a Spotify wrapped moment but now that Spotify is like…. Running ICE ads and supporting genocide and being generally shitty idk if I wanna go through with it! But they’re so cute!

One of my top #mglit for the year I think!! Don’t let the cover fool you, this isn’t some saccharine little story about a girl and a dog. Emotional depth, growth, joy, trauma, and the most lovable fictional dog I’ve read in a long time

It may not be a “proper” darning job but I am pleased to have repaired a lovely thrifted sweater’s hole today

Finished part 2 of this #CAL today! I’m about a week behind the group but I keep being assured it’s not a race 😅

Sometimes if I’m feeling kind of shoppy I just go to the #library instead. Today’s trip scratched my Blockbuster itch and I left with some more titles for my spooky #movie October for scaredy cats watchlist (not pictured: Erin Brocovitch and The Shape of Water) #dvd

Where can I even get froyo these days
