📚💙 #TheHitchhiker’sGuideToTheGalaxy 7/10 favorite quote that really encompasses the whole novel is: “Don’t Panic.” It ended with a semi-cliffhanger so so feel the need to listen to #TheRestaurantAtTheEndOfTheUniverse should be another quick & enjoyable listen

I didn’t think I’d pull it off! Today I just completed “1 Month, non nonessential spending”! Ironically the month was full of 🐶, 🏥, & 🛒 $$ so my monthly spending sheet doesn't really reflect what I THOUGHT would be less spending, but it is 100% essentials only! #2026BingoCard

📚💙 #Reread #LordOfTheFlies 7.5/10 Still horrifying, unnerving, yet strangely fascinating. “‘Maybe […] maybe there is a beast. […] What I mean is…maybe it’s only us” (89). #TheHitchhiker’sGuideToTheGalaxy

Plot twist, but a good one. After applying to @ttu.edu MA English program, I've been accepted to the Interdisciplinary Studies program. Grateful for the opportunity & excited to explore what's next. #GradSchool #InterdisciplinaryStudies

📚💙 #ChosenOnes #Reread @veronicarothbooks.com ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Still such a great book that showcases flawed & complex heros. “In other words, magic is a mirror. It reflects us back to ourselves, and we may not always like what we see” (287). #LordOfTheFlies #Reread

I rediscovered something I wrote a few years back about grief, love, and not being alone at the end. It’s short, but it means a lot to me. www.mackenziemcanear.com/_files/ugd/0...

📚💙 #Dracula 🧛🏻‍♂️ 7.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really good. I'd say romance/detective + a splash of gothic horror. "There are darknesses in life, and there are lights. You [Mina] are one of the lights" (p. 135). #ChosenOnes #Reread Cleansing the pallet with a reread from my favorite female author.

📚💙 Someone finally returned their overdue copy of #TheSubtleArtOfNotGivingAF*ck ⏸️ Dracula This book has a due date

I told myself I would just watch a bit of #MerrilyWeRollAlong. It is now 2:30 & the credits are rolling😊 Wish there were more wide shots of the entire stage so I could see the whole set & all the moving parts. Those songs will live rent free in my head for weeks. This is me⬇️

Hey @hankgreen.bsky.social this seems like a question that you’d love to dive into. When do you believe the first song sung by someone from the UK (with a British, Irish, Scottish accent) was when they realized they were singing with an “American accent”? (am I making any sense?)

Our dogs have tried killing us so many times by leaving their bones all over the place.
