i made a dinner with a vegetable on a monday. domestic goddess

how is it possible that I constantly invent new levels of tired

literally me regarding how tired I am all the time

i need to read a book that makes me feel the way “the holiday” (2006) does

Obligatory, and with apologies: if you have any LGBTs in your life who like recreationally exacerbating their anxiety disorder, they may enjoy this book as a weird gift for the holidays ❤️ bookshop.org/p/books/thes...

omg I can FINALLY show off the Polish cover, hell yes

When I said I was going to get a lot done today, I was a person who had no idea my shirt was going to feel so weird

the problem with me and my brother is that we looooove giving gifts so every year we say we’re scaling back christmas and then keep getting new ideas

Nessarose from wicked

dunkins employee: careful, it's really hot me: you too (spilling coffee everywhere trying to force the cup into a center console filled to the brim with pennies)

work event has grapefruit juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice. they hate us apple-juice lovers

the bartender just came over and put my shirley temple and my boyfriend’s ipa in the dead center of the table because he “didn’t want to assume whose was whose”

there is a book that is beloved weirdly by both normal people and my weird gay social media mutuals* that i thought was FINE and every time i see a post about it, i am kind of ???

there is nothing that makes me dread a work event more than being told there will be “breakout sessions”

I wonder if it is possible for me to make dinner and leave my house at 6:30 for extra dance time before class… (no) (i am dancing friday and saturday probably so i shouldn’t anyway)

I think that I have been so conditioned by that other site to be cynical that I am incapable of being sincere and benevolent enough for this site

snack

it’s kind of a relief to know that they didn’t really smoke all those cigarettes on mad men but then you read about how the herbal ones they used instead tasted like “pot and soap” (jon hamm), it feels like maybe original is almost better

I love when my boyfriend calls to me from the kitchen “is this done” about a food that he is cooking and I cannot see from here

me post grad school

bringing this back

Hi, If you're the person who was just in with the Metal Gear Solid sweatshirt, April wanted to let you know that Code Name Verity is the perfect book for Metal Gear Solid fans. OK, thanks. www.portersquarebooks.com/book/9780316...

I have been struggling to find motivation to read, but the book that made perhaps the biggest difference in making me want to sit and read is @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social ‘s CHEF’S KISS. it’s funny and charming and I love it!!

I will talk about it much more in the 2.5 months before it comes out, but THE PROSPECTS by KT Hoffman is an upcoming queer/trans romance novel (out April 9) and it is excellent—sexy while also sweet and filled with heart and trans joy and also baseball (if you're into that)

a big ol FYI to climate/journalistic bsky that i am Officially Freelance! if you want me to write anything for you on climate, politics, health, the internet, Big Oil, etc, hmu mollytaft at gmail, or check out my clips @ mollytaft.com

ok i think little debbie snacks have held up now that i’m an adult but hostess snacks have NOT

A friendly reminder to any and all school districts that you can ask a local bookstore to maybe host your book fair. It doesn't have to be Scholastic. There may be other options beyond the default. Credit: Maggie Tokuda-Hall from an upcoming (Friday!) Podcast episode.

thinking about how two of my favorite songs of the year include, respectively: "i wanna be happy" and "think i forgot how to be happy/something I'm not, but something i can be"

just teared up a little reading the two year old NYT review of little oblivions

i think this is objectively one of the funniest things phoebe has said in an interview

We, as a society, have given the morning people far too much power

i keep looking at shackets online and thinking i want to buy one as if i will ever wear a layer other than my denim jacket outside the house in the fall

the nap agenda and the schoolwork agenda are incompatible

bluesky dms when

Gonna say something here that I would never have said on the Ex-Bird App but: Don't buy books from Amazon please. This is not a moral exhortation but advice for you, as a reader. They manage to screw up every stage of the book-selling process in original and maddening ways.

besties are there not dms here

I Have to Do My Day Job But I Want to Write My Book: A Memoir (250,000 words)

Honestly kinda offensive when deep feelings of despair just go away with a snack and a glass of water like I’m 5 years old
