One of the really funny things about portrayals of the Medieval period that have every peasant wearing brown and black is those colors were actually really expensive compared to blues, reds, and yellows

Oh yeah, I still had some stinkies that I finished (mostly mysteries/thrillers πŸ˜‚), but I’ve let go of a lot of the guilt I felt about not reading books. I can always get them back if I change my mind!! The beauty of the library!

The Mighty Fitz & Me - β€œThe lakeΒ [Superior]Β is huge and cold and blue and treacherous. Β It can sink freighters, drown people. Β In a wind the waves roll in with the crash of oceans.” Β Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye Approximately...

My friend works on a Great Lakes freighter and was born just hours after the Edmund Fitzgerald went down. He wrote something about it on his site (where he often writes about life on the big freshwater lakers).

I’m the same!! I dnf’d way more books than usual, I think partially because I found so many great ones that the mostly-ok ones I’d have read in previous years just didn’t feel worth it? Which is very much a new ability for me (dnf-ing at all)!

That was so haunting to watch as a young kid, but totally understandable in its tragedy and beauty. Agh, now I need to rewatch for the 500th time!!!

I find DiCaprio infinitely more tolerable in comedic roles vs dramatic, but still feel a bit of his self-consciousness seep in (in One Battle, I found it especially noticeable when he was with Del Toro, who’s such a natural at seeming like a full person on screen)

I’ll be at City of Craft tomorrow and all weekend! If you live in #Toronto and are looking for an alternative to OOAK, this has always been my favourite market in the city and a bit of a dream to participate in!

Farley Foundation | Help Ontario Pets Access Vet Care The Farley Foundation helps low-income pet owners in Ontario afford essential veterinary care. Donate, get involved and help keep people and pets together.

On a related note: my work is doing double matching today, so I'm donating to the Farley Foundation. A couple years ago I saw a news story on a similar place in BC that helps with vet costs so people didn't have to surrender their pets. Farley is the Ontario version.
