Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I rode public transportation in Chicago, in Atlanta, in Miami, and now in Saint Louis. I live one stop from work so whether walking there (have not done this yet), driving, taking the light rail 🚈, this is the closest I have ever lived to work. 010
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Hey, #FedEx. Your driver left a package for me right under a sign that says do not leave packages here. Just thought you would want to know. #DoBetter 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I'm rewatching Search Party with Alia Shawkat. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's 5 seasons and the arc is fascinating how the characters progress over time. 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Inde Navarrette’s performance in Obsession is Oscar-worthy. Fight me. 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 12/06/2026“I looked down, breathed deeply, very grateful for her kindness, then lifted my glass and peered ahead, at the lavender and the low wall, the garden losing colour to the night, the tips of Gilbert’s conifers like cypresses against the deep blue sky.” Our Evenings, Alan Hollinghurst 030
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I’m reading Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel Our Evenings and this passage was so evocative to me. “Mum kept glancing out the window, for telltale flakes against the darkening sky. She dreaded them and longed for them too, as an absolute reason to leave.” #literature #readabook 030

Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 13/05/2026And for some reason I edited it to be in stark black & white. Kinda looks like a 50s movie. 010
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 13/05/2026More of Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. Just breathtaking views and had a fun time traipsing around the Caves part of The Baths. We finished the day at the Baths beach. I loved diving with my swim 🥽 on and see so many cool things underwater. Highly recommend.#cruise #NCL 🚢 100
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 13/05/2026You have to crouch, climb down very steep steps ladders, and there is a lot of uneven terrain. On the plus side though, the views are outta sight. The beach at Devil’s Bay was probably my favorite part. I brought my swim goggles so I got to see so many cool 🐟 🐠 and 🪸. 100
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 13/05/2026The 🚢 arrived in Tortola, British Virgin Islands very early this morning (6:45am). I was scheduled to go on an excursion to #VirginGorda by ferry and visit The Baths. The famous Baths. The trails at The Baths are not for those with mobility problems. 100

Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 13/05/2026The first few photos show the arrival to port (and a mysterious abandoned house right on the water), and from a lookout spot our driver stopped at so the tour group could take in the view. 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Beautiful couple hours at Magen’s Bay #Beach on St. Thomas today.#USVI #StThomas Plus the view from my stateroom balcony as we docked. 210
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Beautiful #sunset 🌅 from the 🛳️. The ship has this outdoor walkway with a glass floor. Not gonna lie, it was incredibly windy and felt slightly dangerous. I had a yummy dinner at Le Bistro on the ship also.#cruise 100
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Next stop is US Virgin Islands! Looking forward to exploring Saint Thomas. And by that, I mean the town. 🚢 🏝️ #travel #cruise 010
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Some 📸 from Puerto Plata, República Dominicana 🇩🇴 today whilst on the 🛳️ - in the first photo, the woman on the left is picking her nose while the guy next to her is beckoning me. 110
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 10/05/2026There’s another #cruise 🚢 to our north - it’s booking along and almost passing us. We have until 7 am to dock in Puerto Plata so no rush. #atlanticocean 010
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I do not remember enjoying this 😆. And the final one is when I was a teenager (notice the 80s fashions!). She passed away in 2008 and I think of her daily. 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Acknowledging Mother’s Day today. The photo of my mom in a red bandana was taken by me when I was about 6 or 7. She was busy cleaning the house. I was helping by taking her photo. The second one is when my parents had NYE parties and I was still small enough to be “baby new year”. 110
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 10/05/2026This is only the 2nd or 3rd time the ship has been occupied by paying customers, so it does feel brand new. We just passed the northern coast of Cuba 🇨🇺 on our way to the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 for a day. 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Some initial thoughts on the #Norwegian Cruise Line’s 🚢 Luna: fewer children, so that is a plus. Getting into the peaceful groove I need for this week. Booked a post-birthday dinner for myself at Los Lobos and will enjoy some entertainment afterwards. 100
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 09/05/2026The #Horoscope for my #birthday today! I will feel more grounded once I get on the 🚢. #sailingaway 010

Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 09/05/2026The COL is insane in South Florida. Not just for students but for the everyday worker as well. It’s not just rents that have skyrocketed but expenses as well. Most of my staff can’t afford to live in Miami so their commutes are ridiculous. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...miamiherald.comMiami’s rising cost of living is changing the student experienceFor many FIU students, financial pressure is becoming a significant part of the college experience. 100

Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I know and thank you - I knew she had gone to Evergreen for college. We went to high school together in Florida and even dated briefly before she informed me that I was gay :-) She was an incredible light. I wish I had kept in contact with her. 100
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 09/05/2026When you think of an old friend whom you haven’t seen in ~40 years and discover they passed away in 2023. Fuck.

Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I am trying to detox from work as I start my weeklong #vacation. Before I head off on a 🚢 tomorrow, I went to the beach at Cape Florida today in Key Biscayne for a bit. For early May, it’s already hot out and the sand is boiling. The ocean water was great though! 020
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 08/05/202627 years ago for me, can’t believe it. I transitioned from true library work a while back but still use my skills every day. Happy anniversary! 020

Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I watch too many #horror movies, clearly. This is a small house I saw in the trash chute ‘room’ in my apartment building and it creeped me out. I loved it 🤣 140
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 06/05/2026It’s my birthday on Saturday! I’m going on a cruise in the Caribbean. Should I bring cash with me? I think tips are charged to a card on file. 000
Max @maxlibris.bsky.social · 05/05/2026On this day, I flew from #Atlanta to #Chicago to start a new life 18 years ago. I moved away from Chicago in late 2023 (sadly). 000
