POLL: What are your favourite AUDIOBOOKS & PODCASTS? While my eye recovers from surgery, I'm leaning more toward audio than visual reading. #CommunityPolls #Uplift I'm currently listening to: PACHINKO by @minjinlee.bsky.social ROGUE PROTOCOL (The Murderbot Diaries #3) by @marthawells.com

Graphic advertising the Barnes and Noble preorder sale for 25% off for premium and rewards members through Friday, February 7.

My most toxic #ADHD trait: I open notebooks at random and begin writing on any page as long as it is blank and is followed by a blank page. After a while the notebook gets fuller and it takes me 7hrs to find blank usable pages - but I do not give up. I am the most chaotic person in my life.
