Listening to Morgan Jerkins April book release- Zeal. Jerkins novel Caul Baby is an underrated gem of a book. A must read. When I saw Zeal @libro.fm I grabbed the alc so fast. A beautifully written black family's multigenerational story of love and heartbreak post civil war to nearly present day.

Not only do these airlines want to be able to treat people with disabilities terribly, they are trying to say that the government doesn’t have the power to regulate conditions of commercial air travel. First they’re coming for people with wheelchairs but if they get their way they won’t stop there

I never got a chance to pick up the snow bibs I bought from Dick's sporting goods for my kids for this snow event. Thus negating my snowpaux of over preparing (like bringing an umbrella bc rain and it never rains). You're welcome Raleigh.

Are you looking for an Audible alternative but not fully convinced yet on moving away? What if we told you all of your purchases support indie bookshops? Or that we are employee-owned and community driven? Let us know what questions you have about Libro.fm—we'd love to help make the switch easy 💓

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I just can't with the news. But I need to know what's going on, because I want to be informed, but nothing good happens when I check. And yeah, I'm hyper aware of planes.

Welp. Forgot about City of Raleigh Xpress Summer camp registration today. That could be a $5000 mistake on my part. Woof. Good thing we didn't book a summer vacation yet.

So IF the weather does what it seems it might do in Raleigh (>4 in) this week, my kids are only going to school 1 day next week. That's my prediction.

Love the high winds, heavy rain, and occasional loud clacks as tree branches collide as the trees blow into each other violently. So peaceful. 😳

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

It's trying to be more than rain at my house. Little bitty pieces of sleet mixed in.

I have so many books on deck that folks want me to read I don't know how to prioritize. Ben Okri's newest is being praised as a best of 2025, Antidote by Karen Russell is highly praised as well. Ocean Vuong's is going to be a huge indie bookseller pick of the year that I must read. Where to start!?

The way to understand what’s happening to our country is they see January 20th as January 7th if the coup had succeeded.
