So I don't have any furniture yet but I do have this!

I've picked probably the worst day this week to drive up to Ottawa.

One of the first things I'm going to do once I've moved is get a new library card. Maybe even before the furniture arrives.

Oh wait, it’s Friday the 13th, I can legitimately repost this! 🗡️

Anyone playing at Ironic-But-Not-Ironic Literary Snobbery in a world of book bans and right-wing censorship of history is a dabbler at best, and at worst destined to become part of the problem. They’ve already got one foot in the misogyny bucket, and will surely trip on it.

frankly romantasy is currently footing the bill for the rest of us by keeping a crumbling publishing industry afloat a while longer and you don't have to read the stuff to appreciate that it's bringing in readers who will eventually want to read more things, perhaps even in different points of view

I love* realizing I made a mistake on my 2024 taxes while trying to do my 2025 taxes. *I don't love it.

I have packed all but 10 of my books, but naturally I don't want to read any of those 10 books right now.

Finding the word game on the Tim Hortons app might be the worst thing that's ever happened to my productivity

My life for the next few weekends is just going to be packing boxes and uhhh It's possible I have too many books.

I was so happy to find my old iPod classic while packing. Charged it up and.. there is nothing on it anymore?! rip to my 2009 playlists, I was so looking forward to the evidence that my musical tastes haven't changed much.

I told myself I wouldn't do anything related to my upcoming move today, yet here I am 8 hours later, surrounded by boxes and a mess that's entirely of my own making.

A lot of people on this site are very bad at boundaries and have not quite achieved sufficient theory of mind to recognize that other people are not just content dispensers and rage sinks, and it is very fucking tedious

The tea bag at the bottom of the mug explains why my coffee tasted off this morning. Perhaps I should have stayed in bed a while longer.

It's not a coincidence that I've been back to work for 5 weeks and have not touched any of my paintings in that time.

I have somehow only just realized that the Olympics are a) this year, and b) this weekend.

So many of the things I want to do can't be done until I sort my housing out, so they're on hold. For now, at least I can get new books.

I saw the 5 classes thing going round and considered doing my own '5 classes I failed,' but I spend enough time wishing I could have a do over of that part of my life, I don't need to get specific about it. Logging off instead.

40 cm of snow in the last 24 hours. Why did my parents choose this place to immigrate? I was built for cold and rainy not cold and putting my back out shoveling goddamn snow.

Today has just been shoveling, shoveling again, coming inside to wait until I need to shovel, then more shoveling. At least the physical activity shuts the brain up for a while.

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps

I'm very jealous of the neighbourhood kids today. I, too, would like a snow day.

So I've learned some things about resin (and my house, omg the dust), but overall I'm pretty happy with these. I might use them as coasters, or maybe still a magnet on the back and put them on the fridge.

If I'm going to keep experimenting with resin I'm going to need to find somewhere else to store the curing projects because urghhh, the same room as my desk is NOT the answer.

my eternal thanks to whoever first made sticky toffee cheddar

Turns out that going offline and making things with my hands is good for my brain? Idk, this feels like a trick. It's working though. Today I'm playing with resin and dried flowers.

Me, having consumed nothing but a full pot of coffee: wow, the tremors are really bad today.

In trying to clear my parents' drive today (dad can't due to heart issues), I backed their new car into the side of the garage door. Happy Monday 😭

Libra: You will finally get everything you deserve this year, which is great news for your enemies.

My siblings are leaving me to face extended family Christmas alone tomorrow. Who am I supposed to make eye contact with when someone says something unhinged?

Tarts achieved.

Today's a good day for me to just get offline and do something with my hands, I think. I'll go make jam tarts.

Hi, I'm idiopathic anaphylaxis 🤷🏼‍♀️

I get to start a new journal AND a new planner today?! O frabjous day!

Quote with a GIF that depicts the energy you’re going into 2026 with.

Underwood: look, i know that the AI stole your writing but Barker: strong start Barker: can't wait to see where you take this Underwood: but, you know, it's really mean to point that out Barker: Barker: ahhaha

You want me to look back on 2025? The thing that doomed Orpheus? The thing that turned Lot’s wife to salt?

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

We've reached the time of the holidays where I'm reminded I don't know how to just.. chill out

At least it's pretty, even if it's going to take me hours to shovel the driveway and the wall of snow left at the bottom of it courtesy of the snowplow

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. (I don't know if this is good or bad honestly)

He ys ridinge a horse He ys emerald and svelte He will get reallye weirde If you lie about beltes The Green Knighte Ys Cominge To Toun

I have finally, FINALLY, received my 1st "pick it back up in the new year" email from a client. Thank the gods. It has begun. I'm so tired.

Did I need a crochet granny-square balaclava? No. But do I own one now? Yes.

Your daily fortune: If the universe is infinite, then there's a lot of room for your nonsense.

I... am not actually shocked that it's Bristol tbh

"My buddy Steve, who doesn't wash his ass and calls women 'females,' whose last steady job was cleaning the 7-Eleven hot dog machine and he got fired, can't get laid. Here's 4,000 words about why that's the fault of Susan, a constitutional lawyer/supermodel who rescues puppies in her spare time."

Another bluesky bookbuy. The Heart of Winter by Shona Kinsella. I had my eye on it for a while. The cover stood out, so did the setting. I loved it. It probably came across my radar by way of @runalongwomble.bsky.social along with The Daughters of Nicnevin, which I also got but have not read. (35/?)

PSAs too.
