After a long time thinking about this on and off, I finally got myself some wrist wraps! I’ve had an unusual amount of hand pain lately, so I really hope these things help. Living with them will be interesting! 😄

Heeeey, it's been a while since I've drawn this guy, actually. Why am I drawing #SherlockHolmes? Well, it's not just for fun, but you'll have to wait and see! #Sherlockian #SherlockHolmesArt

I'm now 36, which... doesn't feel real, in some ways. And as rough as this past year has been, I'm really grateful for the love and support of my friends. Life has been heavy, and if not for you guys, it would have crushed me. Love to all of you. ❤️

Hi, I'm not at all obsessed with the workers' lines from "Chant (Reprise)," why would you say that? #Hadestown #AnaïsMitchell

Lyrics from "Chant (Reprise)" in Hadestown:

Why do we turn away when our brother is bleeding?
Why do we build the wall and then call it freedom?
If we're free, tell me why I can't look in my brother's eye

Lyrics from "Chant (Reprise)" in Hadestown:

Why do we turn away instead of standing with him?
Why are we digging our own graves for a living?
If we're free, tell me why
We can't even stand upright
If we're free, tell me when
We can stand with our fellow man

All right, Hadestown time! The first and last time I went to a movie on my own was The Last Jedi… I have a feeling this experience is going to be better. 😁

I feel like the #TedLasso creative team knew that we needed a shot of warm, gentle sunshine with the first episode of season 4, and my gosh, they delivered. Reaction video coming tomorrow!

Here's an exciting thing that happened recently. I say, "exciting" — let's be clear, this is a very nerdy and specifically Sherlockian level of excitement. I bought the book in the picture, 'Stimulating Medicine,' on-sale from BSI Press. The sale is exciting, sure, but that's not the only thing.

I'm still reading up on older Sherlockian adaptations for my Watson essay, this time in the book 'DEERSTALKER!: Holmes and Watson on Screen,' by Ron Haydock. This was published in 1978, and prints of Gillette's #SherlockHolmes film weren't discovered until 2014.

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Welp, now I'm in a bind. I'd meant for my next video essay to be a history of Watsons on screen. I was really excited about it. And then I remembered that I had even more books about Sherlockian adaptations than I thought, which means that there's even more research that I need to do...

I don't like editing myself in recordings; I never have. So it's terribly ironic that I'm trying so hard to make it in a career in which I HAVE to edit myself. My one consolation today? My lipstick was REALLY on-point. Not to sound vain, BUT LOOK AT THAT RED LIP. Why don't I do this more often???

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Oh, I think this is the best selfie I've gotten since I grew my hair back out. 😊 (Well, aside from the one in front of "Starry Night," that is!) This was taken AFTER recording both a reel AND my next video essay.

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

We have gone from "incredible weekend" to "FML." 🤦‍♀️ Can't I just sleep in peace???? I don't want to go down to my basement — it's cold and there are big spiders down there!

Mission accomplished: I have hired a tax prep company to handle my newly-complicated taxes! It’s a small, two-woman business, and I really like them already. I was able to go in and have a consultation and get questions answered, and it was great! I feel really good about this. 😊

Paczki may not be particularly healthy, but they make me very happy. 😊 Also, the difference sleeping with a fluffy new pillow makes is incredible! First time in three days that I didn’t wake up with a headache!

Stressed and depressed, but my hair was on point today, so we’re taking that as a win. 😅

I know, Netflix, I know! Believe me, I'm dying to get back to it — I just haven't had time! #thewestwing

On the fifth day of Christmas, we finally have snow again. I can’t believe that after having almost a month of snow and frigid temps, it all melted right in time for Christmas, and now that the big day itself has come and gone, we’re back to winter. 🤦‍♀️

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Cards have been sent, gifts have been given, dinner has been eaten… and all in all, it wasn’t bad. Hope you had a good Christmas! ❤️💚

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Needed to do a little bit of gift shopping, took the new dress coat out for a spin downtown. 😊 It’s pretty much like wearing a fancy blanket, and I love it. 😁 Also, check out the sky over the lake! We’re gonna get more snow yet, I’m sure.

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

This is why I stay OFF OF THE INTERSTATE when it's snowing. #winterweather #puremichigan

#Christmas has arrived! 😊 (Look, I lugged this tree up from the basement and assembled it and then strung it with lights all on my own. I am feeling accomplished. 😁)

I made this for a college assignment, 12 years ago. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was still recent, and the last episode of Sherlock was "The Reichenbach Fall," so I went all out on a "Final Problem" theme. I always did want to make a magazine. 😂 #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockians

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

The days are darker now, so I needed (emotionally) a little more light in my workspace. (The window directly faces my neighbor's house, lol, and I'm also not right in front of it like I have been right in front of windows for the past few years.)

I have a couple of other books that I’m reading, but I decided that now was a good time to throw one more into the mix…

Book cover for “Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation,” by Kristin Kobe’s Du Mez.

The lake was GORGEOUS today! I mean, look at all those colors! Plus, the wind, the waves, and the clouds all felt very autumnal. #LakeMichigan #PureMichigan

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

I stayed until there was very little light left. I love catching a sunset, even after the sun has set, as it changes.

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Sometimes I wish I could move to Chicago or NYC. But then I go down to the bluff and remember that I truly do love where I live. 💙 #PureMichigan

I am never leaving Tumblr. Literally impossible to get this kind of content anywhere else. 😂

... and overheard me say that I wanted the Fozzie Bear. She pulled him out and handed him to me and said, "He's yours, my friend. Pass it on." If I hadn't been so tired, I'd have cried just from the sheer kindness. (I'm sure Jim Henson would have approved.) What a morning! (5/5)

My brother got a small Star Wars Mandalorian set and built himself a handful of custom minifigs just for the pieces (smart kid!). I got myself a C-3PO with a Christmas sweater that has R2-D2 on it. They also had small models of the local lighthouse for free, which was lovely, and then... (3/?)

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

You can fill a bag of random bricks, build yourself a custom minifigure or three, buy a single minifigure, buy a set that's no longer sold, buy a set that's pre-built... I've been a Lego Maniac™️ ever since I was a little girl — I could easily spend a LOT of money in there, lol. (2/?)

Madeline Quiñones @studyinimagination.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Went to the grand opening of a Bricks & Minifigs store in town this morning with my little brother. Stood in a line for two hours — in my small town! Bodes well for keeping this store in business. 🙂 Glad too that the temp was decent and the air quality wasn't as bad as it has been. (1/?)

I’m in the process of a massive reorganization of my house (long story), and I have made some changes that help make things more fun in spite of the upheaval. The first picture is what you see now when you come in the front door. 🥰

My neighbors put up a Little Free Library a couple of weeks ago, and I have finally added my contributions just now! Two paperbacks that I’d always had on hand for “just in case” — I think this is the perfect case. 🥰 #SherlockHolmes

Progress! Gotta sort out the journals, magazines, and ephemera now. 😅 1/2
