It was a beautifully dreary & cozy day. Finished a cute queer book. Knit while Apollo slept on my lap. Made a pot of chili. But the next 20 minutes will be the most exciting part!

Gently slams laptop closed. Officially a free agent! Craziest and smartest decision I’ve made. Resigning my position and putting myself and my well-being first. Time for a little menty b, then I’ll figure out what’s next.

I usually have 3-4 different projects for any trip 2 days or more. And I rarely touch them 1 of them!

I finished my sweater, weaving in ends just before putting it on for an event! I love it. Details in alt text. #knitting #IMadeThis!

I’m outdoors in front of a red brick side of our house, smiling and flashing a peace sign while modeling my finished hand-knit Bibliophile 3 sweater by Alicia Plummer. The sweater is knit primarily in speckled grey madelinetosh Twist Light in Antique Moonstone, with three customized bright yellow stripes in madelinetosh Merino Light in Candlewick across the upper chest and sleeves. Although the pattern calls for DK-weight yarn, I used fingering-weight yarn held double. I also customized the sweater with twisted ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and waist hem, including a narrow yellow accent at the bottom edge.

In airports, time isn’t real. 6am mimosa, in my fav hoodie, listening to Robyn. When I'm ready to give in Will you pick me up again? Then I guess you can hang with me

Speaking of…the way I think about the titled novella in “Stag Dance.” I read it last year and the story has really stuck with me. 🤍🤍

The way the endorphins drop when I walk through a bookstore and get to say “I love this one.” “I need to read this.” “Tell me about that one?” “THIS ONE changed me!!!” Books, man. Books! 🤯📚❤️

Welp! Oh, right! We need that loud ass thing! I wonder if my parents taking the phone off the hook is partly why I don’t want to be bothered by this dumb ass brick in hand!

Um…well, this is extremely disturbing. I’m not sure I will finish it (about half thru) and…and…I have to finish it. I’m a liberal arts kid; I get what the book is actually about, and that is also extremely forking disturbing!

The cover of “Tender is the Flesh” by Agustina Bazterrica. There is a red outline of the half of the head of a bull on top with the image of a woman’s face from the nose down. The title Tender is the Flesh is in bold white text over the Red Bull. The author’s name is arranged in a stamp-like circle on the lower half, the human half, of the image. Near the lips is text reading Read by Joseph Balderama. There is white hype-text in the upper right corner reading “"This book will pull you in, take hold, and not let go until you reach the final page. Without a doubt, my favorite read of this year."

This gassy little shit turned 16 years old this week. He doesn’t care. The vet says he’s 80 in human years.

I’m loving this sweater and the progress I’m making so much. I only separated for sleeves last weekend. I’m thinking of finishing the last few rows of the cuffs and color with thinner bands of the yellow colorway. (I might need to because the grey will be running low!) what’re your thoughts?

An in-progress hand-knit Bibliophile 3 sweater by Alicia Plummer displayed on a dress form. The sweater is primarily a soft, speckled gray with three narrow golden-yellow stripes running horizontally across the upper chest and continuing around the short sleeves, a customization added to the original pattern. The gray yarn is madelinetosh Twist Light in the “Antique Moonglow” colorway, and the yellow is madelinetosh Merino Light in “Candlewick.” The neckline, sleeves, and hem remain unfinished, with stitch markers and working yarn visible. The warm yellow stripes provide a bright contrast against the subtle gray and brown speckling of the body.

Borp! This might be my new favorite souvenir hoodie. It’s the vibe I need! Link after the alt text for info.

Silk-screened on the chest is a whimsical black-and-white puffin wearing a red knit cap, with the word “MAINE” stitched beneath it. The colorful lighting gives the cozy sweatshirt and its souvenir puffin a playful purple glow. “Wallace the Puffin”

I feel I only scratched the surface of the story and themes. And I’ve since learned it’s a part of a series.

Portland, Maine, you charmed me. Thank you for the great food, shops, sights, people.

Behind me, the iconic white lighthouse with its black lantern rises beside the historic keeper’s house overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Waves crashe against the rocky shore under an overcast sky, creating a classic New England coastal scene.

Bark! Bark bark. BARKBARK! Bark? bark~~~… Joseppi, Portland, ME, 7/27/2026

A portable poetry stand sits on a sidewalk outside a storefront. An olive-green vintage typewriter rests on a weathered wooden table beside a small silver service bell, a Square payment sign, and a box of colorful paper. A chalkboard sign on the front reads, “Poetry by Joseppi.” Behind the table, a relaxed black dog lounges in a folding camp chair as if overseeing the operation, adding a charming and welcoming touch to the scene.

I was in tears finishing this book. One point I literally exclaimed out loud “My God!” I was 9 years old and watched my teacher break down sobbing that day. This is an incredible read but prepare yourself. 🚀💫✨😭😭😭
