watched wicked part one with my parents and wow 😳 we were all blown away by the singing and choreography 😳 i was constantly thinking about what standing up for marginalized people’s rights + causes looks like in today’s society & how we can always listen/improve/take action

my reading goals for 2026 including reading more picture books bc they contain wonderful and beautiful stories 🥰

hi, everyone! ☺️ I have updated my handle to queerviolets, I wanted to have a different handle from my other social media accounts - still the reading froggie! 😊👍🏻

hi, everyone! i won’t be on bluesky as much anymore + will delete the app from my phone but i’ll probably log in once in a while. take care! ☺️

Houndour 💀

If you hear loud huffing and snorting sounds coming from your patch of acorn squash worry not- its just a gourd fairy running around :)

It's spooky mon season 👻

took a walk in the sprinkling rain today with an umbrella & i felt like a studio ghibli character ☺️

i remember having a lauren bacall phase like over ten years ago & was obsessed with her movies + looks now my interest in her work has dropped significantly & i haven’t watched anything of hers in years,,,,i still own copies of her autobiography/memoir, it would be nice to reread them sometime

Host Donald O'Connor, Elaine Stewart, and Lauren Bacall for “The Colgate Comedy Hour” (1954)

i was hosting a program at work & this older woman came in who was a lauren bacall doppelgänger 😳

honestly the wizard of oz is unlike any of judy garland’s other movies, it’s in a category of its own it’s so damn special and magical and wonderful, nothing else can touch it

me while watching the wizard of oz: 🥹 me remembering what happened to judy garland later in her life: *sobs* 😭

*fall arrives* me: it’s ray bradbury season 😌

the romantasy books i’ve read in the past either had annoying characters or were too dark for me then i discovered behooved - what a hilarious, beautiful book about a main character living with a chronic illness + coming to terms with what she wants for herself + what being strong means

Fire bug or Water bug?

was working at the front desk when two teens came up & asked “we’re looking for teen fantasy books including time travel 🥺🥺 can you give us some recommendations? 🥺🥺” after i found them some books they said “thank you so much!! 🥹🥹 you’ve been really helpful!! 🥹🥹” it really made my day 🥹

thinking of all my friends trapped in the belly of the machine that is america today, please stay alive and keep fighting

people have been setting off fireworks in my neighborhood for days, i just want to read in peace 🙄

been occupied with job changes and life lately, still reading my books and staying informed

I’ve been reading long form articles instead of the news every morning and that has given me something to look forward to each day ☺️ history! science! technology! philosophy! religion! art! current events! even food! an online smorgasbord!

watched auntie mame for the first time yesterday, what a treat! ☺️ I initially thought it was a musical at the beginning, but then realized I got it mixed up with mame 😅

Tried a new style for coloring this one. Trying to find a way that lets the linework shine (that’s my favorite part obviously)

been feeling ok these past few weeks - finally getting out of a reading slump & taking care of myself listening to the beatles has really lifted my mood, their music is fantastic 🥰 george is my favorite 🥹

I hate feeling anxious + paranoid whenever I go out in public or I’m at work like yes I know the possibility of something horrible happening to me is almost nil - but my brain just,,,latches onto things and won’t let go !! then I feel tired/irritable, I hate it

Ann Miller establishes a new record in hot foot circles by tapping out 585 taps per minute. Each beat is recorded by Jack Gereghty, of Columbia’s sound department.

am I entering my beatles phase? ,,,,yes, yes I am 😌 (thanks to the records I inherited from my late uncle 🥹)

Today in 1964, The Beatles became the first artists to hold all top 5 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same week. #1. Can’t Buy Me Love #2. Twist and Shout #3. She Loves You #4. I Want to Hold Your Hand #5. Please Please Me.

A little comic I made as part of an agency promo! I did mine based on a short blurb written by @vivianeelbee.bsky.social about a girl named Xavia who has really REALLY long hair! ✨ Always fun to try a new style!
