“I’ll tell you what freedom is to me. No fear.” —Nina Simone was born February 21, 1933

I’ve started reading poetry before bed as part of my goal to expand into a couple of genres/formats I want to give more attention to (the others being nonfiction and graphic novels). It’s turned out to be a really nice way to wind down!

Just finished listening to Gaslight and WHEW this one was intense, but kept me so engrossed the entire time. Highly recommend to those who like books about cults! app.thestorygraph.com/books/e53335...

There are few people I put energy towards hating because it’s bad for my mental health to dwell in that space instead of uplifting and protecting, but McConnell is top of that list for the immense harm he’s caused. He deserves no praise for offering a glass of water to combat a fire he orchestrated.

I made and canned jam today! Pear with saffron and vanilla bean. There were a few speed bumps getting there, but that soft POP as the jars cooled after the water bath was so satisfying. I’ll be sending them off to my friends across the country and I hope they can taste my love for them 🥰

I am very grateful I work from home, but am *a little* bummed I don’t get a snow day tomorrow.

What a fun little challenge! I’ve definitely already gotten my hours with the library, but I’m gonna specifically submit with one of my Libro books.

As a Penzey’s enthusiast, these gift boxes are a great way to try some of their products. At $5 and $10 they are a STEAL!

YES! Take. Their. Names!

Holy crap, this is incredible

Yogurt: culturing Kefir grains: activating I’d say getting excited about probiotics in my 30s is how you can tell I’m uncool, but I learned how to can food and build a wood-fire brick oven in my early 20s, so I’ve always been uncool.

Touch grass. Now touch stone. Now touch water. Now spill blood inside the glyph. Now light the brazier

My January reading! While I haven’t logged for today yet, I’m unlikely to finish another one, so figured it’s safe to share now.

Picked up our first box of our new CSA share this afternoon and immediately used some of the bok choy in it in the miso chicken & rice soup I made for dinner. Incredibly satisfying 🤤 I’m so excited for the weeks ahead!

I’m in love with the use of color in film and television.
