Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid

Had a job interview today so now I get to be a ball of anxiety until I hear one way or the other. :/

Today I repotted my philodendron and my new pathos, plus we have 4 spinach seedlings 🌱

If you're thinking of streaming the Super Bowl on T u b i, know that it is owned by Fox Corp. According to a Post article they'll be asking you to create an account with your email address. The CEO told investors "that the information will be useful for the company’s targeted advertising business."

There’s a reason every authoritarian regime (in stories too) has some way of keeping people separated & unable to talk. In Fahrenheit 451 it’s the mindless entertainment. In 1984 it’s the strict schedule & constant monitoring. In America it’s many things- long hours, addictive social media, etc.

As things get worse, we are going to get progressively more angrily frustrated at our inability to reach and hurt the people making things worse and that’s going to increase the urge to attack anyone we *can* reach, indiscriminately We really, really need to not give in to that urge

After the Dragons by Cynthia Zhang is a wonderful warning against perfectionism. Sometimes it takes a long time to see the results of work we’re doing, if we get to see them at all. That doesn’t mean we should stop doing the work. 4.5⭐️ 📚 #booksky #reading #bookreview

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

Fun, funny, heartbreaking, and full of love. 5⭐️ from me for @shellyjayshore.bsky.social’s Rules for Ghosting.

Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao was definitely a 5⭐️ read for me. I loved the mix of beauty/whimsy + unsettling usually only found in Ghibli, and I the point made about the way society cages us is very important right now. #booksky 📚

There’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for #art #fanart #LOTR #lordoftherings #illustration #SamwiseGamgee

Just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin— beautiful and tender celebration of all that it means to be human, including all the glories, tragedies, relationships, and creativities (both big and small). 5 ⭐️s even though it’s outside of my normal comfort zone.

As an aside, if you are on FB, check who you are following. A number of people, including myself, have found themselves suddenly following Orange McTinyHands and the Sofa Fucker.

Now more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

How the actual fuck are you supposed to win the second game of hide and seek with thaniel???? I’ve attempted to follow two different online tutorials about 20 times and still can’t avoid being spotted?? Where the hell are you supposed to hide and wait for him to stop running?? #bg3

Hate that *gestures everywhere* doesn’t end it’s January we’re supposed to be hibernating with brief awakes for potatoes

Just finished #reading 📚 #KnifeofDreams! I gave it 3.75 ⭐️. I’m looking forward to the last three #books, in part to see how much Sanderson-ness comes through the writing. #WoT #RobertJordan

Post your lock screen! I wish I could read the artist’s signature so I could track them down again. I just ADORE this fanart of Imogen. ❤️

for the love of baby cheeses can we stop adding -omance to every genre? it just gets stupider and stupider. Horromance, now dystomance? A book can have a romantic subplot without being turned into a cringe hashtag

My computer is finally fixed!! If I do all my chores/errands fast enough today, I might get to play Baldur’s Gate! I had JUST picked it up after a long break when my processor died right before holiday travel. Then I was unlucky enough to pick up both bad RAM & a bad CPU in the new parts.

Pretty (and cold) hike this morning.

New year goals are fun but don't forget to self-care 🫧🩷

Despite #reading 101 books in 2024, I’m dropping my 2025 goal to 75 #books for a few reasons: 1. I want to finish the #WheelOfTime books this year- 4 left! 2. I also want to read all 4 #Skyward books by #BrandonSanderson. 3. A handful of other lengthy books have been languishing on my TBR shelf.

Put together the Plum Blossom #Lego today 🤗

I read 101 books this year! 📚🎉 #booksky I’m most proud of how many new things I explored this year. I read a lot of new authors and genres. Here’s all 101 covers + the summary of my #readingwrapup from #storygraph. More stats: app.thestorygraph.com/wrap-up/2024...

📚 Today I read Temporary by Hilary Leichter. It was funny and fun and a wonderful reminder that our relationships to other humans are more important than our jobs. I gave it 3.75⭐️ bc I personally resonated with the similar messaging in The Midnight Library more. #booksky #bookreview

After 3 weeks of trying to fix my computer, we finally had to give in and take it somewhere for repairs. They said the diagnostic will take 2 weeks! 😩 I had JUST picked up BG3 again before this started, too…. Now I’m s.o.l. for who knows how long bc I’m about to start a new job.

📚 I give The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 4.5⭐️! It’s been recommended to me several times but I finally read it at just the right moment. It helped me articulate why I don’t regret some Big Choices made this year even though things didn’t pan out entirely the way I hoped. 📚

Christmas #bookhaul! 📚🎄🎁
