Yeah! The new Moomin collection (Gift of Love) starts selling on Oct 1st. And it’s green, the prettiest forest green. It'll be so perfect for winter. Well, it’s a winter/Christmas/New Year’s collection (sort of), so ofc they chose exactly the right shade of green. 💚 (Photo belongs to the Moomins.)

Some really good dialogue going on in Ling Ma’s Bliss Montage. :) #booksky

$$$, $$$$$$$$$, he says. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Well, did it go up or down?
$$$$$$$$$$.
Does that mean you’re working this weekend?
$.

Beneath the plane blanket, the Husband’s hand finds mine.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$? he asks. How can I not be? I answer, and squeeze his hand.

I was calling you. Why didn’t you answer? I try again. What’s wrong? Finally, he opens his mouth. $$$. Well, it’s obviously not nothing.
$$$$$$$$$$$.
Of course I know your name.
$$$$$$. $$$$$$$$$$.
Of course I remember.

$$$$$$, the Husband says now.
I oblige and look at him.
$ $$$$$ $$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$. $$ $ $$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$ $$ $$$$ $$$ $$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$ $$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ $$ $ $$$ $$$$$$$$$$ $$$ $$ $ $$$ $$$$$ $$$ $$$$ $ $$ $$$ $$$$$$ $$$ $$ $ $$$ $$$$$$ $$$ $ $$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$ $$$ $$$$$$$$$. He speaks quickly, with the conviction of righteousness. The truth, when it finally hits you, sounds a lot like a slot machine hitting the jackpot.

A cute and whimsical weekend read. I preferred the first book, but this one is wholesome too, as Kiki continues discovering more about herself, others, and the complexities of relationships.

Hehe. This is going to be so comfy. It just needs a little washing 🫧 and ironing first.

One more pic of the same: Snoopy standing on a pumpkin, looking at a mug of pumpkin latte, his little tongue sticking out bc delicious. Beneath this pic there's a recipe for the latte which encourages us to use lots of whipped cream

The new Moomin's Day 2026 tea towel is super cute! And it's so much bigger than i expected. I didn't check the measurements before buying it, but it's like a little sail. Bon voyage! ⛵️ #moomins

Moomin tea towel, the Moomins gathering grass for hibernation, the day looks windy, leaves flying and swirling, but the Moomin house is right there, safe, warm, and cozy between two trees, and Moominmamma and Moominpappa are just bringing in armfuls of hibernation grass.

Moomin tea towel, everything the same as in the previous picture, only in this one there are also Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll playing by the stream.

Imaginative, witty, and beautiful writing in Sensitive Anatomy by Andrés Neuman. This paragraph is from the chapter Sovereign Belly. :) #booksky

It unwaveringly questions the authority of trousers and the measuring tape’s censorship. Going out into the street with the appropriate belly is far more crucial for our elegance than any attire. Without its swaying there can be no emphasis, embrace, or gratuity. In hostile situations, it helps absorb bad vibrations. Floats in the wind. Is as insistent as faith. A belly teaches us to love reality. Some cite its difficulties when faced with physical activities. Nevertheless, if an authentic belly rejects gymnastic caprices, this is because it is already in training thanks to its own comings and goings. Its prodigious choreographies go way beyond the plans of the person moving it.

I loved Plant Lady by Minyoung Kang. In the afterword, the author says there were times in her life when she desperately needed a Yuhee. It's an important, stylistically beautiful book that explores men's violence against women, the fear women live with, even decades later, and... 1/ #booksky

Sie sackte auf der Stelle zusammen und brach in Tränen aus. Endlich flossen die Tränen, die sie so lange zurückgehalten hatte, seit sie aus Ian fortgegangen war. Endlich ist es vorbei, jetzt ist alles gut. Sie sagte sich diese Worte, die ihr sonst niemand würde sagen können, und weinte sich die Seele aus dem Leib. Sie weinte und weinte, als ob sie jetzt, da sie an einem sicheren Ort war, all die Gefühle loswerden könnte, die sie seit damals, vor fünfzehn Jahren, als sie sich ihrer Klassenlehrerin offenbarte, hatte verbergen müssen.

Aww, this gif. 🥰 I love Beatrix Potter too! A few years ago, a dear friend gifted me this beauty, and i read from it so often! I think it's often us adults who need children's literature almost more than children do. :)
