Feeling disproportionately upset that there’s no cake in my house.

The Rose Parade > the Thanksgiving Day parade

Lucille Clifton, always.

To all gift guide makers: If it cannot FIT in a stocking, it is not a stocking stuffer.

Today I learned that a lot of my friends use Strava.

The library during Finals. Student: Do you have an open group study room RIGHT NOW? Staff: No. Student: 😮 On repeat.

Today is a good day to read a book from your #tbr pile that you’ve let languish.

Forget Enneagram numbers and Myers-Briggs types - tell me which celebrity book club you identify the most with: Jenna? Reese? Oprah? Good Morning America? 📚💙

Honestly, just happy it’s Friday and it is my LAST library instruction class for the semester. I love our students but also I’m tired.

My oldest niece has learned that I, the single, childless aunt with disposable income, am the the one to ask to buy her whatever overhyped, overpriced water bottle she wants for Christmas. Nothing but admiration as I immediately click “add to cart”.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms AI can only go so far. We want human connection.

Apologies to all the people on the hold list for the library book I kept past the due date in order to finish reading it. I feel guilty but also am making no promises that I won’t do it again in the future.

I get that the Sky Follower Bridge is helpful but also it sounds like something out of Scientology.

I’m not like other girls. I know what I want for dinner. I’ve been thinking about it since lunch

Having a library card is the BIGGEST green flag ✅

Here’s hoping this is the platform to be on when Netflix releases their Pride and Prejudice adaptation so if it’s as terrible as Persuasion was, we can all hate it together.

I’ve seen a lot of people sharing bios/intros which I hate doing because it feels too much like a “share a fun fact” corporate activity. That said, my algorithm is a mess and maybe it will help.

As someone who was mostly just a lurker, I’m overly nostalgic for old Twitter.
