No, but sometimes I get #rootrootread merch from @itsallaboutde.bsky.social

I’ve started making my own iced lattes at home and they’re amazing but I miss going to 7 Brew and the unreasonably friendly young people and insanely loud music so early in the morning. 😂

Book #14 is a book that @itsallaboutde.bsky.social recommended and I loved it! The voice of the book reminded me a little bit of the Borderlands video games and was also a similar writing style to my friend that we lost a couple of years ago. Cannot wait to read more in the series!! #RootRootRead

I was so worried about how Emerson was going to handle the fireworks. Last year I drugged him and myself. This year I gave him have a pill and turned on a YouTube video someone told me about. It’s white noise that blocks out the sound of fireworks and it WORKS!! We have survived this shit so far!

So sad…I heard something hit the window in the conference room. There are 6 floor to ceiling windows. A bird flew right into one. It was still alive but by the time I ran outside, it was dead. My coworker and I buried it right where it died. Why am I so heartbroken?

Read Kate Quinn’s The Astral Library & loved it so much! It’s magical realism where library patrons, all running from terrible lives, can live in the books they cherish. Of course there are outside forces trying to shut the library down! #RootRootRead @itsallaboutde.bsky.social told me about KQ!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My 2036 season #RootRootRead bingo card with the A book recommended by De box checked off.

On Tatsuya Imai, an improbable no-hitter, the mound visit that made it possible and a pitcher that — perhaps — is starting to see that he belongs - www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Tatsuya Imai has epitomized Astros’ woes. Will role in no-hitter be boost he needs? (Gift Article)

Imai, the Japanese star who had struggled adjusting to life in the U.S., tossed six hitless innings before two relievers completed the gem.

I read New Kid by Jerry Craft for #RootRootRead graphic novel. The story of the kid trying to fit in at his new school while dealing with both being a new kid AND a POC at a (mostly) white school. It’s a good read that certain schools don’t want your kids to read.

I read Slow Noodles for #RootRootRead book by an ethnicity different from mine. It was a memoir about the life of a Cambodian refugee and how food helped her preserve her memory of her mother.

8. Cute and not suspenseful at all. A "cozy mystery" I believe? Idk. Not my normal genre. But I could read more in the series. #rootrootread

I love adult free will. I went to HEB today and stopped in the bakery and was going to buy a piece of cake. It was like $3.99. But then I thought “I can buy cake mix and a can of frosting for less than that!” So I did. It was just over $3 and now I have a whole ass cake!

I nearly forgot I finished Amy Tan’s Backyard Bird Chronicles today. It’s a cute nonfic dive into her personal bird journaling and drawings during the pandemic. I enjoyed her sense of humor and of course I love the birds. (Though I didn’t realize it wasn’t a novel when I started it 😆) #RootRootRead

A king obsessed with building monuments and owning land he could use to enrich himself without oversight from the government he led. He was eventually forced to relinquish it due to the unrelenting work of people who forced the world to look at the atrocities and demand change. #RootRootRead 3/5

Kinda got scared out of my mind first thing this morning. Checked my Ring doorbell notifications and saw there was someone standing right in front of my door at nearly 3am. My heart stopped for a second but realized it was me. ☠️ Emerson woke me up to go out in the middle of the night. #TotalDeMove
