they should invent a petard you can't be hoisted with

Today I caught all my dog’s vomit on a takeout container lid, completely saving the rug she was determined to get it on, so I guess you could say I’m killing it

Bumblebee took a nap on my honeyberry bush!

More horrific than I was anticipating when I picked it up—leans more towards the punk side of hopepunk for sure, but a riveting story. Read it in one sitting (two if you count moving inside when I got cold)

Pale skinned hand holding up the cover of the annual migration of clouds, a cream book with a magpie with green fungal hyphae coming out of it

Just finished Premee Mohamed’s The Annual Migration of Clouds. Will be staying with me for a long time. Chilling, lyrical, but with an undercurrent of unkillable hope.

gender essentialism is a trap... it is pathetic... it is embarrassing that you believe this and it is your responsibility to move out of that belief and impose it as little as possible on the people around you...

The first three books of the hockey ever after series on kindle, the covers are blue with cartoon hockey players

7) The Hockey Ever After series by Ashlyn Kane and Morgan James. Queer hockey romances, super fun and quick reads, always put a smile on my face.

Cover of a prayer for the crown shy. A small caravan drives towards a futuristic city. The colours cape is yellow-orange

6) A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers. I also reread Psalm for the Wild-Built. The duology is a wonderful sci-fi novella series about a monk who meets a robot and how they help each other. About taking breaks and leaning on people.

Image of the Libby audiobook of not the end of the world. The cover has a green, yellow pink and blue gradient

4) Not the End of the World by Hannah Ritchie. Non fiction looking at what we can do about climate change. Very much optimistic, which I feel is so needed. We need to be able to imagine a future where things are okay we can strive for.

Cover of the house on the Cerulean sea. Art of a house perilously preached on an island cliff

3) The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. Wonderful story of a man sent to check in on a home for kids with special powers. Utterly queer and moving.

Cover of a gentleman in Moscow. A man looks over the edge of a balcony in a black and white photo

2) A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. Another gorgeously written story, this time about a count sentenced to house arrest in a hotel in 1922 Russia. Over the course of the next decades he sees the changes in the country. Audiobook is fantastic.

CW for this one as it was written in the 1980s and very much is of its time re: characters and colonisation. Still, a gorgeous read. Ibbotson always writes beautifully.

Cover of Eva Ibbotson’s A Company of swans. A young woman looks at the viewer over her shoulder

Some of my favourites reads over the past little bit!

1) A Company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson. Historical romance, sweeping and grand featuring ballerinas in the Amazon.

Now, of course, the question is: do I drink my bathtime nosecco out of a plastic mickey mouse wine glass or straight from the bottle?

I potted up my seedlings and yeah, turns out spending an hour with my hands in the dirt is a temporary cure for depression #gardening

Why is she like this?

A row of plush charmanders on a shelf; one of them is actually a ditto shaped like a charmander, so it's little and its eyes are tiny little dots while all the other charmanders have large eyes with pupils and irises

My normally mild-mannered Latin prof: the vittae tenues, the narrow linen fillets which were a sign of marriage and also A PRISON, but anyways

The focus group guy from I Think You Should Leave saying "A good entire car that doesn't fly off your entire car while you're driving."

needed this guy at the cybertruck focus group

This is sad. He is in denial. The GOPers he goes to the gym with and has friendly interactions with are monsters and that is hard for him to accept. He thought he was in a club filled with gentlemanly disagreements. The cognitive dissonance is too much for him.

Goddamnit my prof got my paper proposal back to me in a very timely manner. Really was banking on having a week before I felt obligated to start writing lol

I feel like a mother bird—I just mashed up half a fertiliser spike for my seedlings to make a kind of chewed up spit looking water for them

Carney kills carbon tax, all Poilievre's dreams OTTAWA — After being sworn in as Canada’s new Prime Minister yesterday, Mark Carney’s first official act was to kill the carbon tax, and by doing so, killing all of Pierre Poilievre’s hopes and dreams...

Just met a trans woman named Phoebe, and when I was like “that’s my name!” She was excited and then quietly asked if I ever get people asking “oh like Phoebe from friends?” Because it keeps happening.
And it’s so good to know that that conversation continues to be a shared Phoebe experience.
