Wild n Chill's demo has been absolutely lovely, and it has me itching to play the full game! I think about booting up the demo after a tough day at work because the vibes really are for relaxing and listening to the wilderness while my character crafts (and gives pets to the pup). #WildnChill

The Love Hypothesis movie adaptation premiered this week, and I happily gave it a watch. It was good, not great, and I'm thinking it's because I found Lily's best friends more interesting than the main couple, and that comes down to mid chemistry between those two.

Took a stroll to the library yesterday to drop off of a book. Found one on a shelf that sounded interesting. Placed it back, left, and have thought about it since. So, I went back today and grabbed it. If you're thinking about a plot summary 24 hours later, that's permission to get it 😀

Create things, and enjoy things that other people have created. Those things will keep your humanity fed and watered. And God knows we need more of that.

Flipping through channels yesterday, I was able to catch the beginning of a marathon of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I never got into Game of Thrones, but this show was lovely. Well thought out, full of heart, humor, and found family. (Also, filmed in Northern Ireland, which is gorgeous.)

#Taskmaster I feel Richard has placed himself to win this season (series, Jason) no matter where he ends up because of his combination of pedanticism, indifference, and his need (and know-how) to screw with Alex and Greg. 😂

I still get such a thrill when my local library orders a book suggested by me 😍 This time it's /How Queer Bookshops Changed the World/ by A.J. West. #iLoveLibraries #SupportLocalLibraries

The author and title of the book, "A.J. West" and "How Queer Bookshops Changed the World," is layered over the front facade of a drawn two-story, red brick bookshop with parallel windows on the top floor, planters placed in each one, and rainbow-colored pennants hanging from the first-floor purple awning.

A bicycle is stationed on the sidewalk near the right side of the red brick facade, and a black and gray kitten stands outside the main entrance. Books of all colors sit on shelves that we can see through the main front display window of the shop.

I'm overwhelmed with book choices this month, and it's been very invigorating. (My TBR list continues to balloon at a rapid rate, lol.) Currently reading: After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian (a third novel in her world of gay 60s romance in NYC)

The single metric that I have the most difficulty wrapping my mind around is time. It's why light speed and space travel make me feel like my brain is melting from my ears. It's so elastic and compressed and WILD.

I can tell when I'm reading a Cat Sebastian novel when I have preceded to fling the book onto my bed and literally fan my hands in front of me, trying to blow away the feelings that have expanded in my chest. Too much! Too good!

I'm only 44 pages into STAR SHIPPED by Cat Sebastian, and it's already /such/ a delight. Her character work is second to none. I want to pull Simon (the grumpy co-lead) into a hug and give him head pets. Wet-cat hero + golden retriever sunshine trope? Let's go!

The cover art for Cat Sebastian's latest novel, STAR SHIPPED. Two men about to kiss in the foreground of a film set; one sitting in a director-style chair, looking up at the other, who is standing in a red shirt and blue jeans, eyes closed and leaning in close for a kiss.

Just spent the last several hours binge-watching all three seasons of Survival of the Thickest. A great modern-day rom-com with a beautiful, big Black lady, amazing writing, and a talented-as-heck supporting cast. Didn't know the show existed until I started watching, then couldn't stop. Brava!

Wimbledon starts on Monday! Here's the order of play for Day 1. Serena isn't playing until Tuesday or Wednesday, but the question is, what court will she be on? It HAS to be Center Court, right? Yeah, she's got a wild card and is playing an unseeded opponent, but she's won the thing SEVEN* times.

A list of matches, the order of play, for Day 1 of Wimbledon 2026.

Someone asked me how I can continue to write fiction where people find a way to be better when the world now shows it's not the case. And fella, nothing the fash want you to do more than give up on hope but you really must not. If it's getting too dark to see you don't turn out the lights.

Don't you worry, friends and readers. I have today's French Open tennis matches quietly up on my phone while at work. This weekend's matches were mind-blowing. This tournament has been WILDIN' OUT. If you /think/ you have a prediction on who's going to win for either draw, toss it aside 😂

When a favorite author of mine shares a recommended list of books they've enjoyed this year, I can feel my stacks at home and my library card wheeze in unison. Don't recommend things you know I'll like! (Also, please never stop doing this.)

Rewatched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice series followed by The Lizzie Bennet Diaries adaptation over the weekend. What a lovely trip down memory lane! Tonight, I plan to rewatch the '05 movie and then tackle The Other Bennet Sister again later this week. Because I'm a nerd who can't help myself. 🤓

I binged The Other Bennet Sister last night and acquired a pile of tear-soaked tissues next to me by the time I finished. A young book-loving nerd who tries to fly even though the cage she is in continues to trap her? I'm a sucker for it every time. Gorgeously adapted. Bravo to the amazing cast!

#BridgertonS4 The showrunner, Jessica Brownell, stated that she believes this season is all about lessons of courage [in all its forms], and I can see that. Not just with romance, but with communication and compromise, being true to oneself, allowing moments of honesty and vulnerability.
