Today I have indulged in the springtime compulsion to open the windows and crank the music while I do my readings for grad school. Two plus decades separated from the undergrad dorms, and some things are still muscle memory. Although my speakers aren't facing out the window today 😂

My TV screen is like 10 feet away from my face, I can’t read a phone from that far away!! I can’t be the only one.

I know this will make me sound old BUT… I have a bone to pick with the people who make TV & movies. If you are going to use texts the characters send & receive move the plot forward, PLEASE pull the text out of the phone screen, or something.

OK Bluesky peeps. I’m liking it here- but PLEASE make your app iPad horizontal compatible. Thanks 💗

Too bad Franklin just signed a contract extension. He’s not a closer, and we’d be better off without him. #PSUfootball

I can’t help it. Every season, by the time the finale rolls around, I end up crying when they announce the winner of the Great British Bake Off. Also, I may be American, but it’s #GBBO not #GBBS 😭💗🍰🧁🥐🥖

And that is a huge reason that I’m currently an MLIS student. Future archivist just learning how to do the work. I just hope there are enough of us.

I’m impatiently waiting for this place to catch on with my niche interests: British comedians and non-bro NCAA football fans.

Hello my love!! 💗💗

Hi, my name is Denise. May the algorithm bring me content about: travel, cooking, baking, eating, history, and baby animals. I’m recovering from 2 decades of working in the restaurant business, and switching gears to archives.
