Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I got relentlessly peer pressured (saw a few Instagram posts) to read this lil chunk of a book. 010
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Great discussion of this complex book in book club today! I really had to overcome a lot of fears when I started this book club and it’s been a total success - we’re into our second year now. Our selections: Heartwood Love Forms Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One Heart, Be At Peace Whidbey 100
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I have had the worst week of my professional career this week, with no end in sight, but it’s Friday and I got something cool in the mail. This is an Armed Services Edition of Of Human Bondage from World War II. 122 million of these editions were distributed, over 1300 titles. 020
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 16/07/2026This turned out to be a banger. I hated it in high school. 010
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I went into my room to get a phone charger and ended up doing a photoshoot of my bookmark collection. I don’t have ADHD but I don’t not have ADHD. 010
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I made this very beige dinner tonight and for only the second time in our 13 years of cohabitation Mike did not add more sriracha to it. The other time was also this week, with the sofritas tofu we made for burrito bowls. (I made the sauce but he scrambled the tofu.) 030
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I’m preserving this here for posterity because I’m pretty sure I’ll mangle the binding stitch. 120
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I decided to try a new craft and I think this first project is going pretty well. I’m sure I’m doing all sorts of stuff wrong if you actually know the craft but it is starting to look like a bookmark to me! 010
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Even Google Chat is out here using lip fillers, smh 000
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 23/05/2026This morning on the way to work I stopped at the brand new Yemeni coffee shop and bought the first cold brew they ever sold. I’m looking forward to going back for a more leisurely visit this weekend. (The cold brew was delicious!) 110

Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 27/03/2026If you need a little dose of “the kids are all right,” this is the student book club’s pick for their next read. They’ve got range! 130
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Only 12 hours later than scheduled but I knew my good luck with that particular marathon itinerary would run out someday. 000
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Maybe not typical “vacation reading,” but I finished this anthology this morning and thought it was super interesting - which was my expectation since @roxanegay.bsky.social edited it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100
Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 14/02/2026In a shocking turn of events, my mom gave me a fountain pen for my birthday. It’s a lovely dark blue that won’t photograph accurately. 3120

Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 03/11/2025I played around with zine templates today. I was really excited about a one page version, only to discover upon printing that it was for A4 paper. 010

Ellen W. @spurioustuple.bsky.social · 21/09/2025My brand new car got hit in a parking lot today and in the grand scheme of things it’s so, so minor, but she hasn’t even been scratched by a student yet! 210
