Brush teeth, wash face, watch an episode of Heated Rivalry, read a little, go to sleep. Every. Single. Night. 🏒🫶

One of my closest friends for 40 years just told me she couldn’t get through the first episode of #heatedrivalry and now I have to break up with her.

I can’t believe I was catfished into watching the misogynistic, ant-environmental Landman. I feel dirty #TV

I never, ever read genre fiction, but I got a copy of A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1) in a Secret Santa book swap and I am very excited to give it a go. #scifi #solarpunk #booksky

The menorah is flickering and the Christmas tree is twinkling and the Swedish angels are twirling and I am alone in the house experiencing a little moment of holiday peace. #holidays #hanukkah #Christmas #peace

When I’m at work I will go back and delete all punctuation and capitalization before I send anything so my colleagues don’t think I’m old #genX #genZ

I have a reoccurring nightmare that I can’t get out of #Sweden, mostly because I forget when my flight is and where the airport is located and what day it is. The upside is that I kind of move to Sweden. I just wish I could relax into it more. 🇸🇪

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

My #book in the college prep section. I guess a collection of stories about complicated family relationships could be considered good prep for leaving home. #bookstores #fiction

There’s a certain kind of man, my FIL for example, who will read you book, say nothing about it but eagerly point out the typo he found. He will then expect you to laugh and be grateful for his close reading. #authors #books #thetroublewithmen

Quite very stoked about the new Ocean Beach Park (real name TBD) in progress mere blocks from our house. It's been a blessing since covid and nows it's going to be a real thing.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.
