I'm like your mom if your mom was seriously into Star Wars. Expert cross-stitcher, avid knitter, volunteer librarian, semi-professional musician. Trying to save democracy for my kids. Kind and daft.

Religious trauma here too, but my parents became Mormons. Spent my adult life in Utah county before finally getting out of the religion and the state about a decade ago. Do not recommend.

Raised as a Reagan Republican though. The conservative backlash in the 80s was real.

Unfortunately I pre-ordered through bookshop.org so mine won't arrive until (checks notes) October 15. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Trying to be a good citizen and this is my reward. Everyone will be done reading it and spoilers will be everywhere by then. Maybe I'll order another copy from Amazon. Should arrive sooner.

I'm on the card trader app. I have thousands of virtual cards, haven't spent a dime on them, and I get that same thrill when I get an extra pretty Luke Skywalker, or even a SIGNATURE DENIS LAWSON. 😂 And I don't have to find a place to store them. Full disclosure: Husband thinks I'm crazy.

I'm in the middle of it right now and I'm very frustrated with it. It seems to be about 200 pages longer than it needed to be. How many different ways can you describe incipient teenage lust? And how many people can be running around a forest before they start noticing each other?

I got 17. There were about five that I was pretty sure of. You have a 25 percent chance of guessing each question right, so total ignorance should get you around 12. 🤷‍♀️

Only 13, but my religious parents restricted what I could watch *and* we lived 60 miles away from the closest movie theater *and* we didn't have cable. Still, I suppose I should get caught up some day.

55 percent is not very strong. I live in the PNW, so this makes sense, but I think most of my answers pointed to someone who reads a lot and pronounces words like they're spelled.

Our first family pet was a hamster. When introducing it to a friend, my daughter made sure to specify that hamsters only live about four years, so it wouldn't be around too long. She was eight years old. Kid did her research. She liked to be prepared.

Same situation. My kids were in college/high school when we all left together. The church did irreparable damage to all of us. I'm still learning about all the ways religious trauma formed my personality. My queer kids are very damaged. It's horrible.

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

I have that one! It is currently in a box in chunks because we moved six years ago and there is no surface in this house large enough to hold it. We just bought a new IKEA cabinet to organize my crafting supplies in the front room and it's going to go there as soon as I get around to rebuilding it.
