I’m a Taurus. We are the ultra marathoners of holding a grudge.

Taking a break from socials until for the rest of the month to finish my book. See you after Labor Day.

I have had this Allison Russell song in my head for like a week.

Returned to the book after a month and I'm feel much more optimistic about it. I think I'm closing to finishing it in the next month.

I was in the gym listening this episode and the way I yelled out loud on the treadmill. 😂

I'm about to make someone's day and return my e-book library loan 7 days early.

Is it summer onset SAD or is summer just really over stimulating for me? or both? 😩

Took me 2 colleges and 9 years to finish undergrad. I think the reason I kept coming back was cuz I had an amazing advisor who probably suspected I was ND. Every time I'd come back to school after starting an org, writing a book, or going on tour he'd find a way to get my experiential credit.

This is extremely disturbing.

Ok Dolly! Ordering now.

Wait. Dolly Parton has a brownie mix?

Just realized the last time Scrivener backed up my manuscript was January 30th!

May this love find me.

Gotta do a shit ton of mulching today.

Let's support Stefanie in getting supplies for their classroom!

People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

The first part of this James Baldwin quote gets thrown around a lot, but it’s the second half that stick with me.

"boys can't get laid" bc the kind of people who blame their problems on everyone else have realized it's hard to make friends as an adult, & instead of joining a similar-interest group of mixed sex they've opted to retreat into weaponized narcissism bc participating in society takes actual effort

I prefer to focus on the positive: the upside of all these men not getting laid is that they're twice as many women who have opted out of settling for shitty relationships. I'm proud of you, ladies. Keep it up!

"There may not be as much humanity in the world as one would like to see, but there is some. There's more than one would think."

Happy 101st birthday to #JamesBaldwin!

Oh no. The nap ran long. Will I be able to sleep tonight?😩 Stay tuned.

“For two weeks, three reporters knocked on more than 200 doors in four boroughs and interviewed more than 100 people. In some buildings, the majority of the people we spoke with said their signatures had been forged.”

Really appreciating this cooler weather today. It's feeling like fall. Which makes me long for the arrival of fall so I can get back into my jeans, boots, and sweaters.

Justice for the Em Dash!

Look at lil Chicken and corn chowder!

Ice cream sundae with vanilla ice cream, strawberries and hot fudge.

I finished work early this afternoon and went and had a ice cream sundae.
