Did you all know that you can get movies streamed with your @kclibrary.bsky.social library card through kanopy? I found it in the Libby app. If you don’t live in the KC metro, it may be available at a library near you! There are other extras too. I haven’t checked them out yet.

I’ve decided to start a little geography/history project for myself. I’m terrible at geography, but I like history so I will learn them together. 👯‍♀️ I’m telling the internet so I don’t forget. Feel free to make recommendations.

I’ve decided it’s time for a few new pieces of clothing and I saw an app I’ve never heard of, ELLOQUI. Do they hate chubby people specifically or do they hate everyone? Immediately deleting the app

I am 5’4”. This bad bitch thankfully built her web at 5’5” because I went through the door and had no idea she was there until I was back inside. She’s big, like an inch and a half. That is her sliding door between the hours of 6pm and 8am. I will go around if needed.

My cat recently became immediately obsessed with a rubber mallet that I bought from Savers.  She’s not alone?? I found two Reddit stories of cats being obsessed with rubber mallets. If you own a gently used rubber mallet, set by your cat and report back. You might not get the mallet back. 🫤

I bought this wine glass today from Savers, the one with red. I told my child it is for when I’m feeling dramatic. It is dramatic. It’s 31 oz. 😂  I’m also PMSing, so I believe I was meant to find this glass today and I will be using it.

I was immediately enamored with this book. 😍 There are so many recipes and the pictures are truly a feast for the eyes. As a bonus, it’s full of info for readers unfamiliar with Islam and the history of these recipes. I can’t wait to make something, many somethings from this collection.

I need a whole roll of the raggedy Barbie sticker. I used it too early in the month. I didn’t even take my meds that day. I got overzealous filling in the weekend stickers.

I’ve had this song and Kansas City from “the band” The New Basement Tapes in my music since 2014 from a new music thing. Twelve years, just my music collection, no where else. I heard When I Get My Hands on You on Ted Lasso. I accidently hit the more info and SHUT THE FUCK UP. WHAT?!

NSFW, I suppose I just saw this in my camera roll and felt it was worth sharing. I’m a sticker sharer at work. Anyone is welcome to rummage through my embarrassment of stickers and take what they like. I usually do a “safe for work” check on any new sticker packs. Missed this one!

Meanwhile, at Pancho’s. 😂 I don’t know how he got himself in there. I told the sweet woman that is the cashier, if she closed the window that I would release him. She looked at me like I was offering to remove a venomous spider. 😂  Happy to contribute to a stress-free morning for them both.

Ok, but I really love this version. It doesn’t have straws or other BS. It isn’t ridiculously large or heavy. It keeps stuff cold for a long time. it doesn’t leak and it actually fits in a cupholder. I might get another because it’s discontinued. 😢

There is a therapy dog at the children’s hospital named Maple. Maple’s owner has a TikTok for their cat, Waffles. Waffles hates almost everyone. I ❤️ Waffles. Maple and Waffles need a children’s book. I don’t know what redeeming qualities Waffles has, but is that really needed for the story?

I don’t know if you do. 😂 I’m sure it’s easier when doing laundry for less people. At one point I had laundry in 4 rolling carts around my table with laundry in them and hanging from the rails. It looked like a laundry fort.

I had a dream that there were food trucks for the World Cup. This is the line I was in. Pies and mash is included in the 10% of British food that looks appetizing to me. Literally cannot stop thinking about it. I’ve never had it.
