Unpopular opinion: I’m actually enjoying yellowjackets season 3. Though I feel the season finale will make it or break it for me.

I would absolutely love to see Shauna killed off fr

Andrea was right, as usual, I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman is fantastic!

For the lit professors out there - I highly encourage you to check it out. This would make a great addition to a syllabus

I love when you’re reading a really good book and it’s all you can think about

Had a very real talk with myself this week that self-care isn't optional. Nor is it easy. I'm so good at ignoring my own needs for a while because [X or Y is important], and that's just a one-way ticket to illness if not careful.

Current book recommendation: How to stand up to a dictator By: Maria Ressa

Finding the balance between reading to educate myself, reading for self care, working two healthcare jobs, staying informed, and also trying to tend to my mental health through all the chaos 🤍✨

Be a quaint cobblestone street in a world full of crowded highways.

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.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave.

This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

This book “From here to the great unknown” by Lisa Marie Presley & Riley Keough is everything. I shed many tears and somehow felt close to both Riley & Lisa. I hope her soul rests easy 💙

If you don’t want to read Edgar Allan Poe together by the fireplace whilst sharing a plate of midnight macarons in an abandoned château in the French countryside during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then please don’t tell me you’re “down for a good time”.

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

it’s 5am and i can’t sleep bc of our shitty government so instead i’m gonna read a book about a fictional shitty government but at least their world has dragons so

I’ve been on a Freida McFadden kick lately ✨ just finished this one tonight ⚡️

The marginal details of the David Lynch memorial at the Burbank Bob’s Big Boy are what make it.

A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear so luminous and angelic.

A favorite from my collection - this luminous little one from the 1960s.

Tiktok is back. But now it just feels dirty.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local independent bookstore.

Listening to smut on audible at work? Why not

I wish I could temporarily quit my job just so I can hibernate for the rest of the winter. I’m a sleepy girl 🐻
