Ned, the little niddle in Georgie Karras and the Niddle of Nern. He may be a bit of a know-it-all but there’s no one better to adventure through worlds and time with. #booksky 📚💙 #fantasybooks #middlegrade

Never thought I’d hear my favorite baseball team #chisox name checked on my favorite podcast @theresthistory.bsky.social! Especially in an episode that included pedestrianism 😆

I’m so sorry I’ve been away a minute! I’m moving and I have FEELINGS about it. Is a new place fun? Sure! Is the packing and organizing and worrying about everything fun? Omg no. I’m an exhausted ball of stress and anxiety.

My Yiayia was a Wisconsinite. She moved to Chicago at 24 when she married my Papou, but until her dying day told people she was from WI. I know she’s somewhere smiling big today and saying with a proudly and defiantly clenched fist “On Wisconsin!” 💙💙💙

As a Midwesterner, can confirm cheese has always been woke

Must suck not to be able to tell when something just isn’t for you.
