"I'm at war with all the things that I'm supposed to be" #polaris #martyr #waves

I didn't know how to explain things to people in a way that makes sense to them.

What am I even doing?

I keep getting ads for "Prime Deals!" and I feel it necessary to say Fuck Amazon

Headphone battery is about to run out at the gym Ugh

Reached level 50

I'm tired

app.thestorygraph.com/books/c64c1b... I was not mentally prepared for this. Absolutely brilliant 5/5

I'm seeing an awful lot of posts about the world cup, even from people who suggested we "boycott the world cup" and it's fucking aggravating.

People look at you strangely when you ask for black coffee without cream or sugar, or anything else. I don't judge other people if they like it that way. You do you. Am I an anomaly? Does no one drink black coffee?

No one is louder than the person trying to be quiet and not wake up everyone in the house. It's me. I'm the accidental loud one

I did not consume enough caffeine for today and if I decide to consume more at this time of day I will not sleep this night: A horror story

My wife's current favorite dinner Pan fried chicken with lemon orzo. Broccoli added for crunch, and vegetables are good for you

Made a new recipe. Chicken fajita orzo. It is very good

Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna find out if my gym has an issue with this sticker on my water bottle @monicabyrne13.bsky.social

At the DMV for the first time in 16 years Not a fan, in general, because I'm not a social person, but it's moving pretty smoothly.

First attempt at orange chicken. I think I overdid it with the ginger, but not too bad! #dinner #food

I responded to one of my favorite authors monthly newsletter and they replied back. You can never take that away from me.

app.thestorygraph.com/books/eda542... Book 13/50 Some retellings of stories from the first book but from different points of view. Lots of trigger warnings needed, and the author isn't great about writing women, but I still like the story. #booksky #storygraph

app.thestorygraph.com/books/9bc56d... Book 12/50 (reread) With Demon King out on April 7th, I decided to reread everything leading up to the final boss. "There's a wide world out there, for those willing to brave the dark" #booksky #storygraph #petervbrett #thepaintedman

app.thestorygraph.com/books/d6e14c... Book 11/50 When humans leave it to robots to take care of humans, it ends exactly how you would expect. Very thought provoking story of what happens when people stop thinking for themselves. Only the mockingbird sings at the edge of the woods #booksky

I am the palm and this is only wind

app.thestorygraph.com/books/c554af... Book 10/50 This is a solid series. I will read the 3rd at some point. It's difficult to describe all that's happening, because there's so much, but I'm thinking it will all tie together in the end. #booksky #storygraph

Sophie is helping me with homework

I can't even with this place

This is a neat feature of @thestorygraph.com

Ok Super happy with this one

app.thestorygraph.com/books/804d01... Book 9/50 I thought it was cute. Similar to Blood Over Bright Haven in some ways. The way the school gets students is odd, and no teachers is weird. Feels like the author picked the setting by throwing a dart at a board, but I kinda enjoyed it #booksky

Some self care today Taking myself out to breakfast, then coffee while I read a book Still have chores, but squeezing in time for other things

app.thestorygraph.com/books/0a2e63... Book 8/50 Definitely a product of its time. The story was good, but it seemed like the amount of slang I had to figure out was pretty high. Ended in an anticlimactic way. Glad I read it, but not something I'll read again. #booksky #storygraph

app.thestorygraph.com/books/da7535... Book 7/50 I'm enjoying the Glass Library series. CJ Archer writes fun stories with likeable characters. (Willie is my favorite). The mystery is just a small part of the overall book, but I like it. #booksky #cjarcher #glasslibrary #storygraph

Got an additional library card for a catalog out of my area! More books!

Oh yeah Markets gonna be full of people buying cards and flowers today I hate it

open.spotify.com/track/76yqaP... I'm having some feelings today #shawnjames #pendulumswing

app.thestorygraph.com/books/38be35... Book 6/50 I did not care for this book. It felt twice as long as it really needed to be, and doesn't seem to lead into the 3rd book. The narrator sounded like ai. Turns out it's an actual person? Not reading the 3rd. #booksky #storygraph #threebodyproblem

There's violence. And a chicken

For so long Amazon has had a monopoly on selling self-published books. Good to see that @bookshop.org is ready to compete in the space! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

app.thestorygraph.com/books/eb3f05... Book 5/50 This was interesting. It made me think about the reasons we try to advance as a species and I think it's almost always defensive. It ended on a well written cliffhanger and I'll read the next one for sure. #booksky #threebodyproblem #storygraph

I decided to give myself the treat of a donut, which I didn't normally do. The donut was extremely sub par I'm mad about it

app.thestorygraph.com/books/6e7f45... Book 4/50 It took a bit for it to get going for me but when it did, whoa man did it. I hate cliffhangers, but this was written very well. I wish I could have listened to the audio book, because I know I'm mispronouncing names in my head.

You know what's good about wearing glasses in sub zero temperatures? Not a damn thing

open.spotify.com/track/4bB7Gj... Presented without context

app.thestorygraph.com/books/c791e0... Book 3/50 3.25/5 Typical sci-fi from the 1970's. In the distant future, humans encounter aliens and end up having to determine if they are a threat to mankind, or just trading partners. I already own the sequel, and I'll read it eventually #booksky #storygraph

Some people should not be in leadership positions

app.thestorygraph.com/books/db7fe6... Book 2/50 A student, and the guy she "hates", go to hell to rescue the advisor she thinks she killed in order for him to give her a good recommendation. Really good imagery but I had issues with the plot. #booksky #storygraph

app.thestorygraph.com/books/5c5dad... Book 1/50 An 8 year old and his robot tiger nanny take up arms against the AI robot uprising after the boy's parents were killed along with most of the humans. I realize it's fiction, most 8 year olds aren't ready to get in an actual shootout #booksky

I'm always nervous recommending a book that I really love to people. They learn something about you, and also if they read it and don't like it they might be judgemental. I did however, recommend a book last night to my book club. The Actual Star by Monica Byrne is wonderful and you should read it

I hate the television
