Friends do you have any sf/f audio books you’d especially recommend?

A straight white man liked one of my posts? How did they even get here???

I’m reading a book about the development of women’s roles in professional horticulture in the UK and I’be never read such rich romance novel fodder From the 1880-1910 women were setting up professional agriculture colleges for other women Mixing classes! Rigorous work! Beauty & growth everywhere!

Sticks, Pucks--and Murder, a hockey mystery, drops on July 15! Carolyn Lutkin, equipment manager, investigates the death of a player on her team while trying to avoid losing her job--or her life. Preorder links below! #hockey #mystery #indie #cozymystery

Took a long everything shower after a morning adventure Bébé, settled in with a nice slice of pizza, and instantly dropped goat cheese on my chest. Dispiriting.

Almost but did not drop dog kibble into my coffee, I’m calling that my win for the day

Bébé managed to find the one spot in the yard with an assortment of thistles, so we’ve rounded off the day with a soothing* burr removal bath and blow dry and as a bonus I did a bunch of weed removal *Genuinely soothing for me, less so for Bébé but he gets a big treat after

Got followed by a creepy guy for 10 minutes. Changed directions twice, he took pictures, the whole deal I’m extremely middle aged and I would like the long-promised “invisible to men” thing to happen any minute now I’m so tired and angry

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

I like this idea so much that I’m making an exception to my general substack ban* for it, I hope some of you might do it too, it looks so fun and encouraging *fuck substack in particular for platforming racists, I’ll be making a small donation to a social justice org for this, ymmv

Sam Reid?? AND Fiona Shaw?? I love this show

Hannah Waddingham AND Joanna Lumley??? Bébé is dreaming next to me despite screaming neighbor kids and local booms, so I guess it’s cozy mysteries and knitting for the rest of the day

Today’s episode report: Toby Stephens, looking very dapper four years prior to Black Sails

I took Bébé for a two hour walk downtown to wear him out before the booms pick up again, the plan for the rest of the day is alternating dog cuddles and cleaning Or possibly just tucking us up in the bedroom and pretending to sleep depending on how bad it all gets

Frank Iero and Min Yoongi were in the same space and i can’t even tell you how i yearn for that collaboration

The booms have started a full 24 hours early 😭

If you have adhd and a pet, I’m here to remind you tomorrow is the Big Booms holiday Start your pet’s sedatives early! Not with your morning meds early! In the afternoon!

I had to shave Bébé to the skin at about a month ago and now I’m wondering how close to a historically correct cut I can give him with one inch of hair When I say historically accurate I mean

Tonight’s “oh I recognize him from somewhere” has been in at least 16 different television shows and movies that I’ve seen, thank you imdb

I have had contractors in my house every! single! day! this week and I am so over it

Technically 70f but I just got back from a walk wearing a mid weight hoodie over a mid weight sweater over a shirt so I’m suspicious

Catriona from AbFab, Arthur Weasley and Oliver Wood both, Georgia Tennant, and Natalie Dormer

No one has a more expressive not my problem shrug than the Russians I’ve had guys of every nationality in and out of my place for months trying to fix a weird plumbing issue and the Russians are here again

Joan Collins ????

I’m back from six! days! of travel! and it was all great but gosh we are mostly flat today Yes Bébé went and he exceeded expectations in the face of small children, teenagers, multiple strange dogs, and hotels 🎉

Tonight’s ep: Blundersnort Contraband, the journalist guy from Ted Lasso, Hugo Speer, Russell Tovey (aka the guy with sad eyes and the ears) and the girl from Four Weddings and a Funeral

i love fic so much bc some stories are like epics crafted by professional bards and some stories are smashing barbies together and we're all here around the same campfire like tell another one!!! people have always done this and it's so heartwarming to make mythology together for the fun of it

I just saw a post asking if Covid vaccines prevent disease so that’s the end of my social media for today

Hey pirate fam! If anyone is in the market for/has the budget for some new sex toys: smittenkittenonline.com really needs some cash flow. They set aside capitalism and became a mutual aid hub during the “metro surge” in Minnesota. Follow them on instagram for updates. But their stuff!

I have once again been reminded Guy Fieri exists, so I’m honor bound to tell you all that guy fuckin sucks I’ve been mad at and about him for over 20 years, what a complete loser

I still think about this sometimes. Just imagine them standing in a line with their little headpieces

I was thinking about The Hour just yesterday

I’m still watching Marple and every episode is still chock a block of that person you know from that thing Tonight’s has: Gugu Mbatha, Jane Seymour, Richard Armitage, Burn Gorman, Juliet Stevenson, and a lady who was in two very emotionally important episodes of KillJoys

i simply cannot stop talking about him 😩

I thought I had kicked the migraine but once again my face is going numb Ot1h glad it’s not worse but otoh “moody and facial numbness” is still not ideal

Hey friends, our power outage on Tuesday is causing financial distress. We were w/o power for almost 24 hours. We have to throw out everything in our fridge and freezer. If you'd like to help support our fridge restock, I would be so grateful. Reposts welcome and helpful if you can't donate $.

Once again the chronic illness is chronic 😭 I’m going on record as being against it

we don’t usually see each other’s headers. quote post with yours.

Kidney beans with thyme is a very specific craving but okay body

“listen to your body” and “make enough money to live” are conflicting imperatives under the T&C of the current OS afaik

Bébé went to the farmer’s market today, a goal we’ve been working towards for almost two years 🎉🎉🎉 Ah, the farmer’s market you think, so peaceful, vegetables and holding hands. No it is a hellscape on pavement full of untrained dogs, elbow to elbow people, and strollers coming for your dog’s tail

I’m watching Marple and because England Doctor Who is here as a very plausible Doctor pretending to be a small town vicar and Father Marcus Keane is doing a good interpretation of a drunken lout

This one is hitting hard 😭

My June hobby is reposting pride shit and liking every pride related post on every social media platform My June algorithm is 85% Pride and I love it
