Sometimes ducks do form the cutest of rows.

When a man I don’t know and have never interacted with sends me a DM like this, I have to wonder, wtf mate? 20-something me would have thought this was cute. More grown me thinks it’s problematic, and a good way to get blocked. 🤷‍♀️ #notyourmanicpixiedreamgirl #everheardofboundaries #growup

When something really shakes you deeply down to your foundation, you can think you’re doing well, an then the cracks in the foundation shift just enough… The state of our country & the world is making it worse, too. It’s all I can do right now to put one foot in front of the other.

This photo cracks me up because it looks like I’m trying to get away and her teeth are showing a little bit, but this was just a second after she surprised me with a kiss to the face and startled me. 😂

Feeling a bit down, not sure exactly why, so sharing these pics of a cute li’l toad I saw on a dog walk today. #cheermeup #littletoaf

A small bumpy brown toad sitting in some green grass.

The same small brown bumpy toad in green grass, photographed from above so you can see their bumps better. There are big ones on their back and get smaller as they go down their legs.

A somewhat blurry photo of the little toad from the side, with blades of grass in between the camera and the toad.

One way I’m trying to stay sane in this world is by learning new things that are offline, such as crochet. Are you using this approach too? If so, I’d love to hear what you’re learning.

Also I’m reading this book, Burn the Haystack by Jennie Young, PhD, professor of writing and rhetoric. I honestly am not sure if I will date again, but if I do, I will be employing the lessons learned from this book & many discussions in her group. #booksky #burnthehaystack #appliedrhetoric

I’m relearning to crochet, taking an actual class so I can learn it for real instead of sorta-kinda like I have in the past. #makesomething #learningisfun #creativepursuits #copingskills #itsgreen #purposefuljoy

An audiobook I recently listened to: What You Are Looking for is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama. I loved this one, though one of the voice actors annoyed me w/how he voiced Ms. Komachi, the librarian. I’m actually listening to it twice, so safe to say I recommend. #booksky #japaneseliterature

How are you taking some time for self care today? I’m having my coffee and peanut butter toast with a cat on my lap, then I’m going to take an everything shower, then I’m going to meditate, then wash my sheets. Need to not fall into despair, so I can keep my strength up. Don’t forget to recharge.

New year, less booze. I don’t drink much anyway, but have a bit more often since moving in with my friends. We have both decided to do Dry January, and depending on how that goes for my body, I might just stop drinking almost entirely, and only have a few drinks a year after that.

I’ve cracked open 3 of the 4 new physical books so far, too. I bought one of these for a book club but the other 3 were gifts, and I’m excited about all of them for different reasons. What new books did you just get or just start reading? Do you like to read just one at a time, or multiple? #booksky

Glitter Grrl @glittergrrl.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

This book is interesting, but not very engaging. I just switched to 1.25x speed because I don’t want to dnf but I’m also ready to be a lot further through than I am so far. #booksky #Libby #audiobook #DylanGoesElectric

A screenshot of the audiobook Dylan Goes Electric, which has a black and white cover with a photo of Bob Dylan in a leather jacket with his harmonica on a holder around his neck and he is looking over at his hand on the frets of the guitar he is also holding. The book is at 45% listened to and there are more than 6 hours remaining.

In an effort to heal from one of the hardest years of my life and to attempt to cope with the 🫲 state of everything 🫱, I’ve signed up for a workshop to feed the creative part of my brain. It’s not until February, but I’m excited about it!

Self care means many things. It can mean skin care and bubble baths, but it can also mean making that ointment you need to, paying that bill, asking for help when you need it, etc. Images are from an account called Chibird.

A cute ghost drawing on a light yellow background with the text “self care changes depending on what you need.”

The same cute ghost as in the first image is now facing the viewer holding a chocolate chip cookie, with the text “sometimes it’s just a little treat.”

The same cute ghost now has a tiny telephone with three curved lines indicating sound, with the text “sometimes it’s scheduling a doctor’s appointment.”

The cute ghost now has arms raised with socks over each hand, eyes closed and eyebrows raised, with the text “sometimes it’s doing the laundry you’ve been putting off so you can have clean socks again. do whatever self care you need!”

I’m grateful to have a place to stay and save money while I heal and while I figure out my next steps. Reading this book my friend gave me to help me think through where I’m going, I’m trying to relax as I consider everything.

Hello #booksky! How’s everyone? I’m currently sitting on the couch with a warm lap cat and listening to Pride & Prejudice. I’ve watched a few versions, but somehow never read the book, the audio was available now & I needed my next listen, so here we go.

New to me cheese I saw at Trader Joe’s! Can’t wait to buy them and try them once I’ve finished the cheeses in my fridge. Have you tried either of these?

And then there were 3. I’m not mad at that.

Is #booksky still a thing? What are you reading or listening to? I’m close to finished with _The Convenience Store by the Sea_ and have _Rental Person Who Does Nothing_ queued up for my next listen. I’ve been really enjoying Japanese literature lately, especially these slower, relaxed narratives. 1/

I’m feeling depressed. It’s situational. I know I’ll get through it and things will get better... eventually. But right now, it really fucking sucks.

I was amused to see this Halloweeny decoration at this bar when I popped in to the market next door.

A scarecrow with a dapper long brown leather jacket open at the “chest” with some hay peeking out and a shiny jack-o-lantern head stands in front of a bar. We also see the glass door of the bar with the words “Welcome to Chessie’s Wharf est. 2024 RAR.”

I love this James Baldwin quote.

A portrait of James Baldwin sitting in a relaxed position, sideways with his head turned toward the camera, mouth closed and neutral with his eyebrows raised, as if during a conversation. Above the image is the text “The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.” -James Baldwin

Violent Femmes remains one of my favorite bands, and probably will forever. They put on an excellent show at The Lyric in Baltimore last night. I really needed that!

Just some gorgeous flowers I recently saw on a walk, hope they brighten your day. 💛

I walk dogs a lot, but today I also went for a couple of walks WITHOUT dogs, so I was able to pay attention to the scenery more than the dog I would normally be walking. So here are some fun Halloween decorations I saw. 🦴🩻💀

Mood: kind of sad, kind of sweet, kind of displaced, but still able to see and bring beauty.

Perspective shot from the camera on an outside metal table, the type that is intertwined metal with a green plastic coating and holes. In the upper half of the image, there are 4 slightly wilted rose heads in varying shades of pink that have been stuck in the holes, though one has fallen over on its side. The background is a blurry loading dock. The lighting is outdoor, but overcast.
