Katie ☕️

Learning about the song Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany’s by watching Kate & Leopold (I did not watch the movie or read the book until this year…)

Lmao it’s all becoming alphabet soup 😂

Whenever I see people complain about La Croix, I get confused. It’s just seltzer?? What else did you want it to be??? Also we are still doing this??

Watching Ken Burns’s Dust Bowl doc and BOY HOWDY did it leave me angry. Like. I realized I knew very little about the Dust Bowl (it was barely a footnote when going over the Great Depression in school). But damn white people really just continue making the same old tired mistakes and never learn huh

I thought it was okay and don’t have any strong opinions either way tbh 😅 I will admit I’ve always really loved TTPD which may be a hot take but idk it just Hit when I needed it. Like it unexpectedly became one of my favorite albums of hers

Welp. Bring on hockey season…

The fact that so much shit in my life and behavior ties back to ADHD is truly bananas. I’m very glad to have this diagnosis now but I’m also so sad for little me and everything she struggled with

I don’t think people who’ve experienced mutual attraction in any capacity understand how rare that is, how lucky they are

I’m addicted to these 😅

Running late naturally means the trains I need to take are all running late (including the 2/3 wtf 😭)

I use Mrs. Meyer’s. Lots of different scents. It’s kinda nice for different seasons 🤷🏻‍♀️ I get it with its matching scented hand soap

A banner partially falling down. All you can read is "not dead still alive"

When someone asks how I'm doing

Do people know how much of a miracle it is to be attracted to someone and have that feeling be reciprocated? And even more so if it’s love?

“If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.

As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?”

“Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year.

Sometimes I think about the Criminal Minds episode where the unsub was a woman who was heavier with PCOS and delusionally yearning for a man who didn’t love her back. Because in that moment I was like “ah yes, this is how society views me: as a fucking monster”

I will always be too much and not enough

Too confident means you’re conceited at the least. At the worst, you’re a bitch. But if I’m too demure I lack confidence and am deemed pathetic. A loser.

All because I don’t meet certain beauty standards. I truly hate this so much

I hate how being *not* conventionally attractive means you constantly have to toe the line of being simultaneously confident yet demure

But if I looked like Scarlett fucking Johansson I could be batshit insane and no one would care because I’d be considered hot

Is there a way to find out why people are outside HOWLING in my neighborhood?? And yes it’s definitely human.

When it’s finally cool enough to sleep with the window open smh

Linocut with the letters spelling out VOTE in mirror image

Guess what was with my linocut materials the whole time 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠

10 postcards that all say “VOTE” in black letters on white cards

I had made it back in 2020 to make and mail postcards encouraging people to vote. I thought it would be cool to show how you have to make sure letters are a mirror image in order to print correctly. SIGH

Losing my mind bc one of my linocut blocks that I carved a few years ago is missing and I can’t seem to find it ANYWHERE 😭 I have my linocut program on Saturday and it’s going to haunt me if I can’t find it

I have never understood why people hate freckles. They are so cute 🥺 I have always loved my freckles

Why am I in my 30s and still plagued by what other people think about me 😩

Are there any other librarians out there who like SJM? I feel like I’m being bombarded by librarians in my system who loudly Do Not and it’s making me feel crummy and stupid

Maybe I’m overly defensive of ACOTAR idk but Im gonna defend it and popular fiction until my dying breath

Purple is always the worst flavor! Artificial grape tastes like cough syrup

THUNDER. LIGHTNING. 😍 god I love a good thunder storm. This has been EXCELLENT
