If you’re trying to divest yourself from using Amazon and its affiliates as much as possible, I really recommend @libro.fm. The monthly membership model is the same, you keep what you buy, and a portion of each sale goes to an indie bookstore of your choice.

Sending love and thoughts your way 💚💚💚

thank you 💚💚💚 It's not happening right now, and some day, my brain will learn.

Same to you 💚💚💚

I've been pushing "my kindergartener walks to school every day in a neighbourhood full of kids who bike on the street and play street hockey" angle in my angry letters.

I was literally fine until I got a quiet hour to myself and my brain decided to kick into overdrive.

And it's so *silly* because like, I'm still here, kid's still here, we all survived, but my brain just ... doesn't seem to remember that fact.

Me every year waking up in tears "well fuck"

Trauma anniversary five years out & I keep thinking "this year it's going to be different, this year I'm going to be fine" like Lucy with the football.

Huge PSA: framed art cat beds are a thing, and you can just swap out the art to make it into the best wedding photo display of all time

"The Lion's Paw" is a novel about an immortal woman whose past (and previous lovers, alive and dead) catch up with her all at once. Dark Shadows meets Orlando meets Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Spiritualism, messy artists and messier bisexuals.

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

Nothing makes me feel more middle-aged than thinking "how is this thing breaking, we _just_ got it" and realizing that I bought 20 years ago at university.

tfw you've been married long enough that your wedding presents start breaking

13 years was a pretty good run for a coffee maker, right?

People like to pretend advertising doesn't work. But a whole generation of conservatives are pining for a era the only existed in 1950s advertising.

Okay he looked at this and went, puzzled, "I don't know why I asked for this"

kinda expected this to be about a mouse in a waistcoat

A cake cut like finger sandwiches with a jam filling and candles

M's requested birthday cake this year: a jam sandwich cake.

(He is *eight*, HOW)

Sending my kids off for Orange Shirt Day is hitting even harder this year.

Must read!

the law of the short underpass is, at least, immediately self-enforcing

A sign reading “do not obey in advance” on a sign marking the clearance height of an overpass.

Actually this particular sign is one you probably should obey in advance.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

If you're uncomfortable thinking about the historical intersection of queerness and sex work, maybe you should switch to contemporary romance.

If your focus on respectability and monogamy makes you sound like Benny from Rent, maybe switch to straight romance.

If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties.

BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state?

PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history?

EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?

I want queer historical romance that doesn't feel like it was written by a SWERF.

I had a lengthy dream about running a victorious campaign to defend speed cameras.

I am annoyed that Ontario is taking up this much space in my subconscious.
