Yeah it’s been good but this year has been a lot.

Finally feeling a rhythm

Same school. Have a bit of a leadership role now, which is a lot

This new job of mine is no joke.
I feel like I’m thinking for 20 people all the time.

I’m so awkward at most times anyway, but I know without a doubt that I had THE DUMBEST smile on my face when I saw him.

I’m certain someone has noticed.

This man is back at work and absence does very much make the heart grow fonder.

This is a PROBLEM.

Big day in my house!

He does!

My parents are the same age, and I’m really having trouble with that idea right now.

I know that time marches on, and people die, but he was larger than life and now he’s gone and I am very sad about that.

Someone very important to me passed away yesterday.

He was my choir conductor in grade 12 and university, and without my membership there I would not be the person I am today.

He’s been in my life for 25 years, and seemed like one of those people who wouldn’t (couldn’t) die.

Reading Is a Vice Being a reader means cultivating a relationship with the world that, by most standards, can seem pointless and counterproductive.

My only quibble with this article is that he claims that reading is not a social activity, and I would disagree. I talk about and share books with my friends ALL THE TIME

He’s off for another month.

It’s for the best, but I do not like it one bit.

I KNEW the voice sounded familiar

This makes me want to watch the movie if only so I can nod along sagely

Ok so he’s off work for a bit (health stuff) and I dislike it so much.

I do absolutely always want to be in his orbit and I hate that I can’t right now.

I’m hate watching and I can’t look away

Also I had a cup of coffee today for the first time in a week and I felt like I had a reason to live again.

This strike is really starting to take a toll on my mental health.

I think tomorrow I’m going to go for a long walk outside, and then go home and write a paper.

I also don’t want to spend any money, so it’s easy to stay home and read.

My sleep schedule has been completely fucked since the strike started.

I have very little motivation to do anything, so instead I sleep and read.

I saw some colleagues today and it was really nice but boy do I miss the social component of my job a lot.

As someone who is very content living alone, I am finally feeling the effects of the isolation, and I don’t like it.

I’d give a lot for a hug or three from *someone* right about now.

2026 Calendar Orders - Cut off Date November 25

I’m making calendars again.

Order cutoff is November 25.

Order form is here: forms.gle/v11LUP32Ktre...

Not me still awake , worrying(?) about sleeping through an alarm and missing this altogether.

So. Coffee tomorrow, apparently.

(I’m trying SO HARD to be chill about this)

People got very mad at me, and it was really interesting. I didn’t even say that they shouldn’t listen to audiobooks, just that it’s different.

The last time I talked about books on here I got called a much of names by people who disagreed with me about listening to audiobooks and reading the printed word being different experiences of the same text.

I’m not falling for that again.

After I’m done this degree I will not be going back to school for a very long time.

On the other place, a couple posts escaped containment and now my mentions have things like this.

Love to have an opinion on the internet.

She’s incredible.

I really loved Migrations.

Man I just want classes smaller than 36, and copies of books that aren’t falling apart.

The one thing the other place got right is the quality filter.

Mine is holding like the Hoover Dam.
