#unrelated2books
It was scary this last weekend. It seemed the pieces on the chess board had been strategically positioned... remains scary out there, yet Thankfully none of the fears of kingship or martial law was officially announced. 🙏🏼🇺🇸✌🏼.
It is easy to believe that hatred has become mainstream, something I “suddenly“ have to constantly remind myself not to believe.

Thank you @AllDebooks for #Chatterday and Thank you @Eggs for the tag ☺️👍🏼💝.
We spent the day trying to avoid feeding our anxieties...then my mom began watching Captain Courageous (1937)...which caught my interest too...and the next thing you know we were both in tears 😭😭...dang good movie was a tear jerker 😂🎬💝. Our day was peaceful.

July‘s pick for #QueerBC is Nino Cipri!
If you‘ve read this author before, drop a recommendation or let us know what you‘ll be reading.
This isn‘t an author I know so I‘m excited to see what people think.
You;‘ve still got time to read June‘s author Zen Cho or recommend some books for #PrideRec2025
Let us hope that Sat. is just one day, just one day of uncertainty and worry. Hopefully there'll be no real attempt at kingship.
Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday 💕🌺💖

To all Littens who are going out to protest, be safe ✊🏼🐻✌🏼🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲🙏🏼💝
Did I Blink? 🙏🏼🐻💝.
Well, that was a terrible conclusion to a stressful day!
I had always loved how my neighborhood was a mix of cultures and religions... beautiful.
Today, was the first time we felt in the minority...literally.
The way we were stared at with hostility. Scrutinized.
I fully expected to be asked for my ID, or to see the return of Jim Crow signs.
My mom and I are American Indigenous! Our ancestors were here before America!
It has been ruled that the power over the California National Guard will be returned to our states's Governor, Gavin Newsom!
🥳🙏🏼🐻✌🏼💃.
Each Summer, I stash away my pens and use only pencils for both writing and sketching 📒✏️💝.

I'm not tagging this one because it is both political and religious...and I've already posted a Haiku today.
🤬🥺😢🙏.

Learned about Rough Haiku from @dabbe on @Jari-chan Haiku post.
Did some research and had to give it a try.
Went with a 5-5-5 to tie in with my Haiku's theme. 555 for the fictional phone numbers used in movies and TV.

There was a news story about this today, and I found it perplexing.
As one who was lucky to have storytime in my childhood, this makes me...sad? Worried.
As an adult, those early experiences with books adds to the coziness of reading as I unconsciously reminisce...
👇
Latest library checkouts…I‘m so behind! I have 4 stacks total (2 different libraries)😬🤓📚
Just got a Mail from BookFinity. Did I do a bookish quiz? Yes. Did I sign up for book recommendations? Also yes. Am I a rainbow woke? You bet.

This was the year of IEPs. As an Education Specialist for the RSP program, I conduct at least 40 IEPs in a school year. This year topped it off: 52 IEPs. And many of them were high profiles with lawyers. So yes, I am sooooo happy and thrilled to have held my last one today for the school year. 🙌
Bring on summer!
Thank you @Eggs for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 😉🌹💝.
1- “being kind“ and “always believing in the magic of hope“ are my starter points...and “becoming a garden parent.“ 🌞🪄🌱💝.
2- 😜🤩🦉.
3- garden critters...those silly rascals 😂😍💝💝💝.

Friends, here is my #readyourkindle list for June! This is also a reminder to post your list (if you already have, awesome!). Have fun and happy reading 📖😊
#readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo
I have tentative titles planned for some of the listed prompts but I‘m always hesitant to commit since I‘m such a mood reader. Just listing the challenge has really helped keep #bookspin low-key. @TheAromaofBooks
Thank you @Eggs for creating this fun play-card and Thank You @Deblovestoread for the tag 😘📚💝.
1- when my mom was a little girl, she had chosen the names Demetrius and Delilah for her future children. When she had my older brother, my dad wouldn't allow it. I always wondered how much power names truly had and how my personality might have changed if I had been given the name Delilah.

Thank You HaikuHive and all Littens for making everyday a “Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood“ of Litsy 📚💝.
