"I'm going to get a lot done today"

Me all day:

I’m just now realizing, if I spend more time logged into my alt than my main account is my alt no longer my alt? 😵‍💫

Frog and Toad gaze at their own reflections in a mirror. Toad holds in his hands a book titled "Fairy Tales." From "Dragons and Giants" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

It’s apparently one of those assignments where the draft needs to be exactly the same as what is submitted as the final. I unfortunately treated it like a draft and left things out to be added later. Whoopsy 😅

Congrats! That pin is awesome :)

Frog samples one of Toad's cookies, which are the best cookies he has ever eaten. From "Cookies" In *Frog and Toad Together*

“Frog, Frog,” cried Toad, “taste these cookies that I have made.”

Frog ate one of the cookies, “These are the best cookies I have ever eaten!” said Frog.

Waking up to feedback from my professor that says he’s proud of the hard work I did for my final’s rough draft and he can’t wait to see how it turns out while also failing me for the assignment is… not a great feeling lmao 🥴

You cannot hide the soul.

I was forced to watch the Until Dawn movie tonight and I can’t even begin to describe my level of anger 🙃

Black text on white background reading: I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere, fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here.

The book cover of Just Grandma and Me by Mercer Mayer

I read Mercer Mayer’s Just Grandma and Me in story time today and I told the families that it was the first book I memorized in Japanese. Apparently this book is still a major hit with some families (even though it was published in 1983) and my lore drop just made it even more beloved I guess 😂

A Room Of Your Own by Beth Kephart and Virginia Wolf by Kyo Maclear

Why yes, I did just have an impromptu Virginia Woolf themed story time today for the babies. No, I’m not doing well mentally, why do you ask?

Four illustrations depicting anthropomorphic animals in lush summer nature, having picnics, going on boat rides and reading by a lake with swans.

Every summer should be a Wind in the Willows kind of summer

Praying that I wake up violently ill tomorrow so I can call out of my 12-hour shift 😇

you're gonna wanna see this

🥵😍 wow

A recipe for Boeuf En Daube for fourteen people

I’m trying to cook the Boeuf En Daube from To the Lighthouse and idk which is more frustrating, the fact that it takes three days to make or the fact that I need to cut the measurements down because I’m not cooking for FOURTEEN PEOPLE 😂

Being Gay™️

Black text on white background reading: What if he’s written “mine” on my upper thigh only in my mind?

July 9 is always a weird day for me. I adore Last Kiss but reliving it every year for the past five years with one of my own failed relationships is a bit much…

But hey, Happy Last Kiss Day!

Watching Mulholland Dr on the 4th of July weekend felt like this

I started my rewatch of Downton Abbey tonight and boy oh boy, we’ll see if I can finish the whole franchise before the new movie is released 😋

This Day in Labor History: July 7, 1903. Mary “Mother” Jones launched the Children’s Crusade in support of a Philadelphia textile strike and to raise awareness about the need to end child labor!!!! They wanted to meet Theodore Roosevelt, but of course the cowardly president chickened out!

A photo of Watterson at his drawing table.

A panel of Calvin and Hobbes riding their radio flyer red wagon.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

Omg, I own that book and I’ve flipped through it but never fully fully read it and now I need to read every word ASAP 🤩

I am genuinely OBSESSED with it at this point 🥲 it’s so good!

Today on my chaotic grad school takes: Jeanie from “Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti is the exact same as Jackie from Yellowjackets, no I will not elaborate 😋

The vinyl of Revelation by The Knocks

My vinyl of Revelation came today and I’m so happy I might actually cry, this album is 10/10 and will most likely be my AOTY 🥰😭

A vintage cover of Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

This cover is… something…
