September scenes

Recent scenes from campaigning with Support Hempfield Schools. Great people, friendly animals, and good conversations.

More July reads

Two more books added to the “Read in 2025” list. Enjoyed both for different reasons. Grateful for libraries and indie bookstores (especially @pocketbooksshop.bsky.social) for keeping me well read.

Really enjoyed this beautiful YA novel last month. Important story of art, immigration, community, and young, queer love.

Yes to Circe! I’ve got Miller’s Song of Achilles on my tbr.

Win a primary election, upgrade your shag.

Always by the wickedly talented Courtney at Illuminator Hair Studio in Lancaster, PA.

Self care on primary election day looks like scheduling an order for pick up from a local small business

Logged a bunch of steps today talking to my neighbors. 👟

A sleepy yellow lab mix named Clyde lays under a weighted blanket and white & pink striped comforter, with only her head sticking out.

Weighted blankie fort

They love watching their kids come home from school.

You got it! Just lemme know which one.

A button maker sits behind two campaign buttons. The left button says, “Support Hempfield Schools,” and displays a logo of an H inside a red shield over an open book. The right button has a blue background and displays the word, “VOTE” above the name of four Hempfield School District school board candidates - Best, Linton, Small, Williams.

Feels like good trouble

That episode when DJ Tanner rocked a Shippensburg sweatshirt.

An excerpt from Kate Baer’s And Yet that almost made me dog ear a page:

“there comes a time when you stop hoping for One American hero and realize there is only you…”

LOVE that album.

Book 4 of 2025 ✅

Diane Chamberlain’s Big Lies in a Small Town is mysterious and beautifully written. And while part of the story is set in the 1930’s -40’s, that piece could absolutely happen today.

Not yet, but there are signatures on record of folks trying to get it going in our district.

My mom, a bibliophage, had an embosser and I always loved finding its imprint on books she deemed worthy. I thought my dad still had it, but apparently not.

For Christmas my hubs got me my own. “Demon Copperhead” got the first press.

Oh hi 👋🏼 My name’s Kait and this is my first post on bsky.

I’ll probably post about books I read and things I care about. Also dogs.
