It's wild that the manosphere decided to put all their effort into taking women's rights away rather than put in the work to make themselves useful people.

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — there to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read again until there's nothing left but the best kind of memories

I swear, The Bulwark has really helped keep me from turning into a nihilistic puddle on the floor since the election.

I love that when fascism tried to bust down the door in South Korea, South Korea said, "No." They showed it's not impossible or inevitable. When people are brave enough to stand up, the people win.

This holiday season consider buying less and buying better. Support small businesses! We need them as much as they need us.

The first real snow of the season.
Echinacea cones covered in little puffs of snow with snow covered ground and trees in the background.

I don't know why it matters if a sportsing dude's knee is touching the field when he has the sports ball, but I like listening to my husband and daughter enjoy something together. And I'm being told the correct team won.

With an ambiguous name like "Pumpkin Pie," I'm glad Sara Lee clarified it's made with pumpkin. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what to expect. Anyway, happy Thanksgiving
Up close image of a Sara Lee pumpkin pie box that reads, "Pumpkin Pie with Pumpkin and Spices." "With Pumpkin" amused me.

A pinch of inattentiveness plus a sprinkle of procrastination tends to do the trick. #adhd

A meme that states, "On a scale of Elrond, how are you holding together?" followed by nine pictures of Elrond in various stages of frustration, bewilderment, and vexation.

My current read is by @mariaressa.bsky.social. I'd recommend it to every American. I don't know exactly what we're in for, but I know we have to hold the line.

This is Page, the library cat. She's happy to help you select the perfect read and only asks for belly rubs in return.

I'm currently rewatching LOTR. It's hitting real different right now, let me tell you.
A Lord of the Rings meme in which the top panel shows Frodo asking, "What are we holding onto, Sam?" Sam responds in the bottom panel, "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

So, um, just wondering if Jimmy Eat World can tell me how much more time it takes, 'cause it's been 23 years here in the middle, and so far, everything, everything is not fine

I left my house for the sole purpose of getting gas. While I was out, I remembered I had a latte coupon. I got the latte. I didn't get gas because I forgot why I went out until I returned home. And this pretty much sums up my success rate as an adult human
