Work bestie’s birthday cake was a success. Devil’s food cake for my favorite Spade Brother obsessed L.O.R.D.S. diehard book girlie.

Absolutely nobody:

Me: I’m gonna make 7 pounds of #cookie dough at 9pm.

Snickerdoodle cookies with cracks in them

Smooth snickerdoodle cookies

Unbaked cookies in an oven

I ran an experiment with our snickerdoodle cookies- baking as a ball or a disk. The disks had a better density and texture for packing into lunches, but the ball of dough gave that expected pretty crackle on the top I want in a snickerdoodle #cookie

Thank you 💜🖤 And so are you

They were being feral! I tell you, getting short jokes from all three of these guys at once is rough. 😂 Thank you. I miss you!

I kind of forgot I had bluesky and skylight accounts. I really don’t want to separate things here like I did on the clock app, so all of the books, crafts, and cooking are coming here in one big pile. 🍪

Let’s make cookies for a dad joke.

I admit I forgot I had a skylight account until the clock app announcements today.

I love this so so much!!! 🖤

Just a reminder that you can follow the WHO here and get their newsletter to stay informed even if our current administration is trying to pull us away from them.

This is what we all should remember.

You’re welcome! It really was a great read. I’ll be looking forward to the third one too.

Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Loved it and sent it to a few of my clients since we share book recs to talk about during nail appointments.

This message is for @mm-rees.bsky.social so if you’re not her, you can be nosy anyway. Ma’am. MA’AM! The last half of The Oracle’s Journey that I just read on the plane is everything I needed for romantasy. The combat, the magic, the SPICE! 5⭐️ & devouring the next book on this next flight. #booksky

Investing in nice luggage is my favorite purchase ever.

Do you have any art for the brother too? I can’t help but really love him so far!

I can’t think of a better time to make sure I wear this to work every day. 🏳️‍🌈

About halfway through Oracle’s Journey by @mm-rees.bsky.social after last night and thoughts so far-

Really well-written characters with unique personalities, interesting story so far, easy to follow combat scenes.

Absolutely! I’m an author myself and ALWAYS down to find more indie titles.

I hate when I finish a book that’s been so high recommended and have no desire to read book two. So many times a book series gets better after book one, but I just don’t have it in me to push through this week. Looking for recommendations on something with romantasy or vampire vibes. #booksky

The vibes are immaculate

No more store brand ice cream for us. Only @benandjerrys.bsky.social from now on. Thank you for standing with us. #benandjerrys

If you have anyone in your life that is LGBTQIA+, no you don’t. If you know anyone trans or non-binary (especially minors), no you don’t. If you know anyone undocumented, no you don’t. If you know anyone who’s not Christian, no you don’t. Now is not the time to leave digital footprints to them.

Same with anyone in your life that’s 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ We don’t know anything about that. Especially online where there’s a digital footprint to what we say.

Thank you. It’s frustrating.

That’s it. That’s the post. I just figured you might need something pretty to break up your timeline this morning. Hang in there. 💜🖤

I have so many poly friends and I love that books feature it so much more often. I really hope it can help other monogamous people try to understand them.
