Recently started something new that I’m excited about. Instead of a book club, we’ve made a “book recommendation club.” We read whatever books we want, then we meet to tell our friends about the books we read and whether or not we recommend them. It’s been pretty fun so far! 😁

I’ve never once been dismayed by my gray hair because I watched what it meant to age gracefully. Thanks, Mom. ❤️
a poem on a gray background reads:
I catch the wisp of gray in my hair
and I’m reminded of my mother:
smiles in the creases of her eyes,
laughing in a white sundress
with pink flowers and a streak
of silver around her face. She said
a hairdresser once told her
it looked intentional, but I was
always proud it wasn’t;
she earned her stripes.

I watched a @montemader.bsky.social video a month or two ago about the Protestant work ethic and honestly didn’t think I was too affected by it, but now while I’m trying to recover, I find myself feeling guilty for not doing something more industrious. It’s insidious, this programming.

The hospital staff was wonderful. The food was actually decent. And I didn’t have to prepare it. And everything was clean without me lifting a finger. But I’m back in my somewhat messy, sometimes chaotic home with my little meal and I’m genuinely glad to be here. 💜

Cushing’s tumor #2 removed. Having a third would be very unlikely, so of course I’m planning to be back here in 5-6 years. I named this one Tina.

Few things have sucked more for me in this life than needing my mom and knowing she’s not there anymore. Day before surgery and my son just got released from his training job at vocational rehabilitation because he has “too many issues.” My mom would understand my heart right now.

The way I had to reschedule my pre-surgery CT scan to the day before the surgery because insurance *exists* is diabolical. Yeah, no, it’s cool, they’re just going up my nose with tools, I’m sure they don’t actually need to see where they’re going. It’ll be a fun adventure! 🙄

Friendly reminder that it’s okay and probably necessary to have a bunch of things you write that are really stinky. Artists have sketch pads; we have notebooks and backs of receipts and half-cooked documents. They’re all just stepping stones. 🤷‍♀️

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I have this really weird correlation in my head that I haven’t yet attempted to unpack but has existed for years. Somehow, in a way I can’t yet explain, “Piano Man” is to music what “A Farewell to Arms” is to literature. One day imma have to figure out why that’s in my head. 🤔

'The seeds of dreams are often found in books" - Dolly Parton

Amber Pritchard @amberguity.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Suddenly remembering that Dolly Parton died yesterday. I kind of like the idea that whatever afterlife you believe in is the one you see when you die, and if that’s the case I hope my mom and Dolly get to hang out in heaven. Two women with a lot of love; I think they’d get along.

A good day to remind everyone that Dolly loved books. She gave millions upon millions of books to children. Folks who want to ban books and cut funding to libraries and book-related programs? We’re coming for you in the name of Dolly.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

Following the eclipse, some of the people I admire said that now is a time for spiritual rest, reflection, and thoughtful consideration. It’s a good practice—it’s easy to get so caught up in growing and doing that I forget about being. 🩷
