Remember.

My sister Olivia was able to live for 19 years because of Medicaid. I am voting NO on the Republican Budget Resolution for people like my sister and the 1 in 5 people in the US, and 125,918 people in our community, who rely on Medicaid.

Great British Bake Off is such a delight. Catching up from the last few years and season 9 has some of the best bakers by far. The semi-final was so hard to watch someone go home. Such a much needed bright light πŸ’•

My local bookstore, @ballastbookco.bsky.social put up an amazing display for black history month 😍 but also, read black authors all year long. #booksky

Every time I start a book by T. Kingfisher, I am just completely sucked into the world and story. She is quickly becoming my favorite author 😍 #booksky

My neighbor built a snowman this morning. I love when adults find time to play for no reason other than enjoyment.

I’m beyond shocked at how quickly we have complied and I will not stand for it. DEI hiring is good for everyone. We must fight this.

Things are really grim right now, but tonight my husband and I watched great British bake off while I knit and he played Stardew πŸ₯°

Omg omg omg! I can’t wait for this!!

My favorite thing about being off Meta/TikTok is the lack of targeted ads I have been seeing in the last week. It is honestly so refreshing not getting shit shoved at me all day every day.

My TBR this week, mostly things I have on hold from the Library 🎧 - Rules of Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore (library/audio) πŸ“± - NOT in Love by Ali Hazelwood (library, ebook) πŸ“– - Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros (own, physical) 🎧 - The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajua Chandrasekera (library/audio) #booksky

Thinking back, I didn’t really start to read again as an adult until after I got a Library card. And now, I haven’t been able to stop reading. So incredibly grateful for our libraries πŸ“šπŸ₯°

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t have to read dystopian novels right now. You can read fun things to take your mind off the dystopian nightmare we are living. That’s what I’ll be doing. #booksky

Thinking about sharing my TBR for each week and where I get the books I’m reading. Not sure this there is interest in that, but being a huge advocate for libraries and audiobooks, think some could enjoy. πŸ“š#booksky

Watched Evan play in his first ever hockey game today at Bremerton Ice Rink. I love getting to do things like this in our community. And he played so well!!

My husband said something to me yesterday and it has really stuck. Maybe others need it too… β€œIf Meta and Musk value my time and attention that much, why don’t I?” I’m going to hold this as I navigate a world with less social media. I think it’s time.

Well, I am deleting TikTok too. I’m not a pawn to be used by whatever Trump is doing. This is going to be a long 4 years.

πŸ“š Finished my re-read of Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend. I loved it just as much the second time! Excited to jump into the second one

Welp, it actually happened. I’m so heartbroken TikTok is gone. But with that, Facebook and Instagram are no longer for me. ✌️

I love winter’s reminder to slow down. I slept almost 12 hours last night. I didn’t know how much I needed that.
