You know how sometimes listening to a soundtrack will make you want to rewatch something even though it's bad? Well I've listened to the Wuthering Heights soundtrack tens of times and never wanted to rewatch that mess.

Plan ahead: All DMPL locations will be closed on Sunday, April 5. Normal hours will resume on Monday, April 6.

Having maybe the worst day I've had in months. Which seeing how it's pretty much just work is bad is kinda good. My life this time last year was work is bad plus other bad stuff every day.

I read books last month.

In laws gave me the gay easter eggs.

@violintj.rockhardcauc.us Thinks many people would say he's hot and I disagree.

Do y'all think this man is attractive?

Is my hand me down funeral pothos (long story) cosplaying as a bride?

Friendly reminder... Fuck Eli R*th... Even as a gastro horror lover, I won't promote his new film because he's a piece of shit...

My favorite redirect for when people are talking nonsense and I can't or don't want to directly confront it is to start talking about a conspiracy theory tangentially related. Not like I believe that theory, but switch the convo into "oh funny ideas!" rather than actual opinions.

End of my March Madness of books!

It's killing me that the audiobook chose to pronounce Agnes with the English accent rather than French. It's so beautiful in French. youtu.be/p8ret7zTboc?...

Meeting my friend for the 10pm movie, "I am not wearing a bra" Friend, "I'm not either" Me, "Good. I was worried we wouldn't be on the same page"

This was really good.

I finished the last two books for my sweet sixteen. Will post more of the bracket tomorrow.

Super pumped for @sarahgailey.bsky.social to be coming to Des Moines in May. Details at thelittlebookdsm.com/events/49078...

Book buying ban is not going well? Going really well? Unclear.

Not to yuck anyone's yum, but I have never seen a baggu bag that looked good except their reuseable bags. Not a single one would I even call cute.

Reading March Madness! First up How to Bake a Breadling versus Mock Soul. This one goes to How to Bake a Breadling by Brad Hock. Felt like a Folk Horror movie, game, book all rolled up in one.

I'm kinda pissed I have ever seen this book recommended. There's barely even a short story worth of content here.

Went to hockey pride night to knit lesbian socks.

Library and book store haul.

Heated Rivalry (4th watch) and Labubu sweater for a present.

Congratulations to Afroman.

I've been prepping this. Going to start posting what books I put together on the 20th as that's when the women's March Madness starts.

I find it sad that in the circles I run in almost nobody my age is able to maintain a good relationship with both of their parents. I think this is because the people I tend to associate with are queer and emotionally intelligent. Not tolerating anything for connection. I wish parents were better.

Clean apartment, clean sheets, clean clothes, clean body. Pure bliss.

I love a howling winter wind.

Before and after: a pruning story.

Keep thinking about how Natural Beauty repeatedly brings up the cultural revolution like some big vague boogy man. I get from the daughter of immigrants that's probably how it feels, but still odd.

Been working on a new project at work. Everytime someone asks me for help I am certain I will not be able to help and then somehow I come through 95% of the time. Cycles of panic to relief.

Hit the opulant time in my life where I can book a flight that is not the cheapest possible (no multiple layovers, middle seat, leaves at 4 am, returns at 1am).

That's the good stuff.

Showing up when the library opens and getting kicked out when it closes.

"Evan you're not retiring on the pokemon cards!"- Actual conversations I have with my fiance.

Duality of man

Recommendations for Kid friendly activities in the Des Moines Area please!!!

Coworker, "Do you listen to business podcasts?" Me, "👁️👄👁️ no"

I am once again in Kansas against my will.

Considering telling coworkers that I use AI just to get them to stop telling me to use AI.

Hey friends, @violintj.rockhardcauc.us and I got engaged. We both proposed, so we both have sweet rings.

I somehow justify buying both a book and korean fried chicken everytime I have to pick up my meds in that neighborhood. And while I may not be perfectly succeeding at my book buying ban I am buying less books than I did before the ban.

Does Donna's sister (that the show seems to forget exists) count as a child? Preteen?

I was brave and made it through a dinner date without my phone.

February reads covers.

I was feeling furious, so I made this.

RHC 238 - Iran, Zach Lahn, Newton, what else do I have to say? Okay, maybe it's not good enough for a Billy Joel parody. Good luck out there. Listen wherever you get podcasts or go straight to the source: soundcloud.com/rockhardcauc...
