I fell asleep after dinner and now I’m wide awake again but I’m not going to turn on the game in the hopes that I can sleep again. Apologies to @spicedrum.bsky.social but lmao.

I got my passport and immediately put it in a lock box and usually forget I even have it. Of all the bullshit, pomp and circumstance for a fucking passport envelope is so low on my list of things I need.

I’m sunburnt and exhausted but it was so fun. Heard from horror authors I love, romance authors I will give another try to, and ya fantasy authors with a magic system I’m so damn excited for.

I got to meet Dr. Emily Wilson and hear how translations and even transcriptions will never be 100% accurate to primary text.

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

NASCAR giving that transphobic bitch a mic is equally disappointing and unsurprising.

I would be derelict in my duties if I didn’t mention that September is Library Card Sign Up Month! Some libraries have incentive prizes for those who sign up for a new card in September. We’re doing library/reading BINGO. Check to make sure your info is still correct!

It’s 5 hours of her telling stories and a little bit of songs. If you’ve never been around a true blue southerner when they get going, be ready to hear so much more than the story she started with. I love it so much.

If you’re able, check to see if your library has a copy of Songteller on audiobook. Truly, a magical experience.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Live your life in a way that there are too many books about your kindness and generosity to put on display after you pass. Photo not attached bc it would dox me, but just know it’s a display tower simply filled to the brim with pink and blonde and all things Dolly.

No, I will not give That Man credit for lowering the flags for Dolly. He does not deserve my thoughts today.
