I am tired and thankful for small breaks from the world at large.

Only about 30 pages left in my current journal. This is gonna be a tough decision.

When you learn a new shape and then immediately commit yourself to making 110 of them 🫠 This blanket’s gonna be rad tho

I love that none of us have probably thought about Paul Dano for years but the minute Tarantino opened his dumb mouth the whole world arose like vampires from a coffin to collectively say, hey fuck you

A heads-up state and federal agencies are actively monitoring online activity tied to criticism and protest of the immigration crackdown in New Orleans. That includes social media comments, posts, group chats, and other digital spaces.

(Probably) irrational joy over these little fruity guys coming in the mail.

What do you think would happen if I texted this number? 🤔

monday's not real

Yooooo these were great. This cookbook is steadily getting to be one of my favorites. ConcernedApe is the best developer, I swear everything he touches is a gift 🙏

My body is ready 🥹

Okay, but fr I’m obsessed with these and am brokenhearted when they go out of season every year

Weekly 5x5 🤍💜

Apple Replay has me feeling called out 🥴

Typically I won’t purchase singles on vinyl, but as Oh My God won’t be on the LP and because I love Jupiter Winter a stupid amount and want to support them, AND because it’s my anxiety anthem I still have 0 regrets. #nowspinning #jupiterwinter #vinyl

My husband got the shingles, our normal folks to do the cooking couldn’t come, and my mom has 0 kitchen confidence, so I headed up the thanksgiving meal. It wasn’t traditional (because it doesn’t have to be). I’m proud of my mom for helping me out with this and rlly trying! I think we did okay 🤍

This hair dye brings me a stupid amount of joy; it fades so delightfully, hardly bleeds when it’s fresh, and holds better than any dye I’ve ever used. I meant to try different colors when I started again, but never moved past it. I will be devastated if Good Dye Young ever stops making Kowabunga.

(1/2) Having a kid is such an interesting experience. We overlap in interests a lot- he’s 9 + a Zelda and Animal Crossing fanatic, and enjoy picking up new hobbies. he loves comics. I’ve been trying to give him lots of musical exposure, but one thing I haven’t rlly done in that is radio play-

Travelin today.

I made it into the last few minutes of an Ollie Live tonight and holy heckin WOW I’m excited for OW3 🥹

Over the last week I’ve rediscovered a ton of music I’d totally forgotten about. For a minute there (from around 2012-2019) I was stagnating on my stuff and not listening to anything new and I guess maybe got burnt out a bit. It’s fun coming back though, some of this stuff is so freaking good.

Starting to see a few Spotify Wrapped’s showing up here and there. I’m an Apple user, so I’ll be a bit (but am loving to see it). Please share your yearly recap as it comes! I genuinely enjoy this part of the year and know lots of other people do too!

Work Christmas tree topper 👌

Dopamine dressing for work today since we’re understaffed and had additional callouts (making me the only children’s staff in the building). LETS DO THIS #skybrarian #librariansofbluesky #dopaminedressing #dopaminedetails

Just sayin...

My copy of Ego Death came last week, and I’ve been spinning it nonstop. This is easily one of my top albums this year, massively replayable; just so, so good. #nowspinning #vinyl #hayleywilliams #egodeathatabacheloretteparty

More stuff I’m trying to make rn

Arts n crafts at work 👌

Irrational excitement over finally getting to try a persimmon that didn’t make me feel like my whole face was stuffed with cotton balls 🥹

Dyscalculia and hobbies like crochet aren’t the best combo, but I’ve been improving 🥲

A few recent snaps 💛 1 + 2: Went to a library conference. 3 + 4: Got to see some buddies

What could have been a way more stressful weekend last week turned out okay. Grateful for broski 💚

A successful programming afternoon 👌 #skybrarian #childrenslibrarian

Might not have been here on release day, but still got here earlier than expected. Algae variant 💚 I’ve been beyond obsessed with this album since it dropped. Quiet Earth, Sanctuary and The Right Way are my favorites so far, but the whole thing is fantastic. #nowspinning #themidnight #syndicate

Yesterday’s Friday 5x5. I’m… not into Life of a Showgirl so far. Actually had to switch to the clean version to give it a chance, which blows my mind. I never thought I’d have an issue with Taylor Swift’s lyrics, but here we are. Now… Syndicate is a damned masterpiece.

September music wrap-up 🤍

Painted my bird buddy to put in the free raffle thing at work. Pretty happy with how he came out, esp. for the amount of time spent.

I made a friend today, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it 🥺🥹 I feel like I should add, there was no poking or prodding in this. Mostly just watching and waiting. I have an awful memory from college of a stunned owl that then seized, and wanted to be sure to keep an eye on this guy.

Got a double rainbow. And this gloriously unattractive photo.

A few more photos of my tapioca pal.

Smol milk jelly fren.

Let me drag you into my rabbit hole of the day 🤪 Edward Scissorhands a: 1) cyborg 2) robot 3) homunculus 4) something else My childhood brain read him as some variation of a homunculus, but now I’m not fully sold.

I didn’t become a parent to do this to my child, but I did not not become a parent to do it 😌

Office mess updated to feature this rad Starcadian poster 🥰

When an old friend from college visits you from the Midwest and requests Waffle House, you make it happen.

Took a couple of days to pick up, but grabbed a vinyl copy of Nation of Language’s newest, Dance Called Memory. I’ve been listening to it via streaming quite a bit the last few days and knew it had to be in my vinyl rotation 🤍. #nowspinning #nationoflanguage #dancecalledmemory

Over 50,000… plus one 🤘

Friday 5x5 🤍

Bought something pretty without realizing I still had my teenage copy. Whoops 🫣 Admittedly, I loved her Chrestomanci and Dalemark books a bit more growing up- still was quite fond of this one. Happy to have such a lovely copy in my collection now.

Okay so. Hear me out. As a public librarian who has a free streaming platform for Syndicate I can share with people, I feel it would be prudent to patron interests and their well being to be reaaaalllly obnoxious about this album on release day. Just… a helpful librarian doing helpful stuff.
