“We went wherever the day took us.“
Best kind of plan sometimes is to have no plans and wander.

🌸 National Indie Bookstore Day my-My choices are displayed on my couch.
🌸 our magnolia tree lost lots of petals due to rain-still beautiful
🌸 Spirit week at the HS-staff & students had such fun following a daily schedule of creative dress ideas- to match the first letter of my name,I was a kite for day- clipped to my back with a semi-tail! High energy, joyful chaos!
🌸 immersed in poetry thx to #AprilPoetryChallenge

“...anger is an entirely appropriate response to bigotry, systemic bias, and injustice...They want the airing of opinions to be nothing more than a harmless intellectual exercise. And I suppose, for those whose lives are not materially affected by the issues on which they opine, that might be possible.“ 💅🏼🙄
Never seen someone be so eloquent while also be 1000% done at the same time.

Today‘s #bookmail courtesy of Haymarket Books: two of the last Solnit books I didn‘t already have (and part of her “Haymarket rainbow”), plus this book on AI that looks very interesting but wasn‘t released as an ebook (ironic, I think).

I went to Hey Books in San Diego honestly not knowing that today was independent bookstore day. I thought there was a book signing because the line was way out the door. I managed to survive the crowd pharmaceutical free! I bought the tagged book and an “Eat the Rich” sticker. I Hope you all are having a great day.

Amiable It makes my heart so happy to see independent bookstores stuffed full of customers like this! 1w
Deblovestoread Fantastic! 1w
DGRachel Wow! I can‘t do crowds like that anymore. I start hyperventilating just looking at that picture! 1w

ncsufoxes We used to live in San Diego (we left in 2022). As stress inducing as the crowd was (it would be for me), it‘s good to see a bookstore that busy. 1w
Trashcanman @DGRachel I know what you mean, I think if I was still on meds it‘s would have been too much unless I took a lot of gabapentin before hand. It helps to be tall in this situation because I can see over most peoples heads. (edited) 1w
Trashcanman @ncsufoxes Awesome! We‘re visiting from Los Angeles. Are you still in California? 1w
ncsufoxes @Trashcanman no we are no longer in CA. Now we are in Frederick, Maryland. My husband is a scientist. He works for the National Cancer Institute. 1w
