Wednesdays are always difficult bc a lot of the places I normally go (the convenience center for hauling off trash, the library) are closed or open late, so Wednesday is almost always a midweek break for me.

Today it's laundry day! And since it's sunny, stuff is drying super fast!

☀️

Mine was sharing queer literature and helping international members of the book club I'm in locate their local libraries and sign up for Libby! High fives!

If you do it I will!

My plates aren't pretty enough to photograph, but just know that my dinner was catfish, cornbread, and greens, and it was a 10/10. My first time making catfish!

SO many people suggested it to me that I had to grab it!

A stack of library books! Top to bottom: The Island Will Sink The End We Start From Piranesi Nothing to See Here The Fisherman The Scar

Taking a moment to thank the r/suggestmeabook subreddit for enabling me. Outside of The Fisherman, this entire stack came entirely on suggestions from that subreddit.

I have been doggedly searching for this particular book for over a week and the only option for it in my country was about $73 for a copy on Amazon, I am so happy my library was able to get it from another library. It's up next on the TBR.

Did poverty foods ever leave?

Cornbread and beans (with or without fried potatoes)
Biscuits and gravy
Salmon patties
Chicken and dumplings

All stuff that we still eat pretty much on a weekly basis.

AFTER A WEEK OF SEARCHING, MY LIBRARY HAS OBTAINED THE UNFINDABLE BOOK FROM ANOTHER LIBRARY! #booksky

Book details, my thoughts, and links on Patreon

I made some important phone calls (to my disability attorney and pharmacy) and bagged up the trash to take off to the convenience center, and now I'm rewarding myself with a library trip and probably some Alfredo this afternoon.
10/10, go us for getting things done!

I DESPISE summer, pls show me autumn and winter thank you.

I woke up spoons and fucks to give today. So I have checked off my whole list before noon.

I'll prob be nonfunctioning tomorrow.

That one is on my tbr for later in the year! 🩷 I can't wait.

No but I'm usually that person lmfao

Me: Hey give some suggestions for books that have the kind of romance in The King & I, and Sound of Music.

Other people: Jane Eyre?

No that's...not it.

My library limits you to 12 requests per year. I've only requested 3. (I need to work on that!)

Finished objects today! It's amazing what having personal supports allows, even with the disabilities.

I am the owner of this gofundme, and if you could please just share it at the minimum, it would be great!

1000%. I have some housework to do (cleaning the autism nest, dishes, tidying the kitchen) and then I plan on sitting and diving into one of these!

Library day!
#booksky #books #reading

I'd like to add that I have checked Amazon ($70), Pango, eBay, Thriftbooks, Abebooks, b&n and books a million. I can not locate a single copy of any kind. Maybe someone on #authorsky knows them? Where do I buy this darn book?!

#booksky help! I am looking for a book that I can not find in any library system I have access to, or any place for purchase in my country.

I am looking for the book 'The Island Will Sink' by Briohny Doyle. If anyone can help me find it for less than $70 I would be eternally grateful!

Yes I am!

Donate to Help Disabled Couple Pay Off Emergency Loans, organized by Mags Raymond In December, we had to have emergency surgery for my husband's service dog. … Mags Raymond needs your support for Help Disabled Couple Pay Off Emergency Loans

OOOOOOKAY

We're trying hard to change our living situation. To do this, we have to pay off the emergency loans we took out. Not having to pay $600+ a month in loans will help so much.
Please share this around. All payments go to the principal of these loans.
#mutualaid #gofundme #help #debt

On top of that, the financial advice I have received included: 'cancel your phone and Internet and drive to a library to use their Internet' (gas money??) 'Get rid of your pets' and 'Turn off your AC for the summer' (in 100+ heat).
It's hard to deal right now, and I'm tired of it.
