walked into the bathroom after the Leviticus screening and the theater was playing fast car by tracy chapman on the speakers

update: Leviticus ticket booked 🙂‍↕️

i kinda wish i could add a poll to this bc i can’t decide betwen seeing Leviticus or Obsession tomorrow…

job hunting update: got an email from the hr person at the Very Cool Job™️ i mentioned the other day to set up a meeting (interview?) to discuss the position!!!!!!!

applying for jobs pretty much nonstop for the last month+ has been exhausting and so emotionally taxing 🫩

If you want to do some good today: - check your voter registration - get a library card - see if the local food bank needs anything - hold the door for a stranger if you're out - be kind - drink some water - believe in a better future, because we're going to build one

WHAT A DAY

applied for another job today but this time in a cool city!!!!!!!! *screams into the eternal void bc of Being Perceived By Strangers In A Professional Way™️*

finally watched BOUND this morning & i’m legitimately so mad at myself for waiting so many years to watch it!!!! boxd.it/eKtsih

filmed & edited my first “talk to the camera” kind of video for bookstagram and i feel *profoundly* silly. how do people do this day in and day out??

Just a reminder- If you don’t have a streaming service and want to see newer releases without paying VOD prices, check your local library! So many of them have physical releases available for checkout! Checking them out that way also helps show budgetary committees that there is a need there!

friendly reminder that i’m closing my book & record shops at the end of the week 🤸 (i won’t be reopening them until the fall) books are cheap (plus i’m running a sale!) and vinyl prices have been lowered across the board!! #booksky #vinylsky

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.
