I'm not saying it's GOOD exactly but Henry Lien's Peasprout Chen, Fyluture Legend of Skate and Sword sure is an Experience. Martial arts ice skating and lesbian drama set on not!Taiwan with an exchange student skater from not!China
Daylight savings time strikes again π
Lil embroidery project
Yes. Some people simply like that flavor, I guess?
Gotta decide which cat book to read at the archives next. The Robber Kitten or A Cat of Paris?
It's tiny, but I think it counts for #WaterfallWednesday. I found this little ice sculpture tucked in an overhang by a stream.

Nooooo
FUCK it's Daylight Savinfs Time this weekend?
Once again doing battle with the printer. Why are printers so terrible?

I never read as much Lloyd Alexander, but I DID read the hell out of Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing with Dragons and sequels. It's been ages though. Time for a reread?
Tamora Pierce is taking me back
This is so cute!
Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest.

Gotta be in a real grotto
David Macauley's Castle and Cathedral! I think he wrote some others in this vein too
Dreamed of a restaurant called the Risotto Grotto and awoke yearning for risotto
Fun with frozen soap bubbles: if it's zero F (-17.8 C) or below, soap bubbles freeze in the air. They shatter like plastic when they land, or roll around like little balls (If you search "frozen soap bubbles" on YouTube, you'll come up with way better videos, but this is mine from this morning :-)
Just wants love and snuggles! (And treats and his own personal cat door and another kitty friend and...)
Mr. Bramble is judging me for getting out of bed.
A good word!
A tragedy honestly! Fighting the good fight to bring her back into the light.
Happy Newbery Day! (2026 Newbery dropped today.) Hard to pick just one formative Newbery, but I adored The Headless Cupid and it sent me down a Zilpha Keatley Snyder rabbit hole - the first time I remembering really pursuing books on account of their author.
Love this. I wish there was a translation of the Klingon because there's a non-zero chance "let it go" has become "CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES."
Just took a look at the 2026 Newbery winners this evening, actually! So nostalgic to have some Newberies on my reading list again.
My mind was totally blown when Kit and Nat got together. But they argued all the time!, tiny me cried. This came out of nowhere!, I insisted. Tiny me did NOT know the mid 20th century romance cues.
