We do not care that we scare small animals with our gassiness. 🤣🤣🤣 We also do not care if this is TMI. We could all use the laugh.

I love it when a new rapture pops up. 🤣
pickI couldn't stop reading this. The writing is just exquisite. The humor is perfection. Love it.

pickAnd I'm done. What a ride! Here's some initial thoughts:
-Love that he explores Kett's rebellion. The history is fascinating.
-It may have been my mood, but I found the slow pace infuriating.
-I did not care for the mystery. At all.
What a series! Thanks for hosting #shardlakeseriesbr, @dabbe

#fallcardswap went out yesterday. Wish them luck! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm fine. It's mostly a sore throat and glands. But I am staying home so I don't spread it (unlike some co-workers). So it'll be a reading day for me!

News of the possible lynching in Mississippi has sent me over the edge today.

Lots of folks are showing who they really are of late. It's been noted.

Photos of where my Dad's side of the family has found solace for 3 generations. I love this place and the people that belong. This is where I feel my wild the most, where I feel free and alive. This is where I go to heal. 💓

I'm 100% Finnish-American, so saunas have always had a cultural significance in my family. For me sauna is a cleansing, healing ritual. I have many memories of taking sauna with generations of women.

This album got me through high school. Silent All These Years has specifically spoken to me ever since I first heard it. Finding my voice again was everything.

Lots of favorites on yesterday's #threelistthursday, but I chose 3 plus an honorable mention that I have to watch in the Fall.
1. Beetlejuice
2. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
3. Clue
4. I didn't see Rocky Horror on the list, but it's an October must-see! 🤩

I forget how healing saunas are for me both physically and mentally. I took one on Wednesday when I couldn't take the joint pain anymore, and it did wonders. I really need to get on a sauna schedule.
#haikuaday #haikuhive
The weather has done no favors for my joints this week, so it's been a week of rest and healing. And that's ok. Because rest is productive. 💓

We do not care that we texted "Bring snacks" to our husband on his way home, and this was the result. We trained him well. ???

An earlier edition of this book sat on my parents' bookshelf for most of my life. I'm finally diving in. 😅
#realhistory #overcomingevilempires #antifabookclub #readingispolitical
I read the intro and underlined about 90% of it. After sitting with it for a few days, this section about fear was what I kept coming back to. Fear and anger are emotions that are inextricably linked for me. If I feel one, the other follows almost instaneously. Because I taught myself early on to suppress those feelings, I believed they were bad emotions. ⬇️
All the discussion of slang in today's chapter reminded me of this article from 2019. It's not necessarily related to the book, but I found it interesting. My brain goes down weird rabbit holes sometimes. 🙃

pickUtterly delightful. Sally's imagination reminded me of my own as a child. It's probably my favorite Judy Blume so far! 🤩
Read as a replacement for #childrensclassicread2025 because I read Blubber earlier this year. Thanks for the suggestion @thebookhippie and @cbee! Love, love, love this book!
pickSoft pick. Entertaining, but nothing special. I was hoping for something more complex.
I'm sorry I've been a bit scarce. I had some sort of bug last week, and the cold, cloudy days did not help my mood. But the sun is shining today, and I'm feeling myself again!

Web photo because cats never cooperate with the camera. 😹😹😹

I'm reading the tagged book, so I'm also revisiting 2Pac's albums in chronological order. I know his first album isn't considered his best musically or production-wise. But he had so much to say! I find the power of the words overshadows any production short-comings.
#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude
I keep forgetting to post reviews, so I did a #monthlywrapup in case I don't get to them. 🙃
(Also forgot to put a thumbs up on Citizen. 5 star required reading.)
MisterInBlue and I love to experiment with campfire cooking when we're camping. I thought this would be perfect for us. Also, Johan says it's #caturday and I should be petting him, not playing with books. 😹😹😹

I needed this exercise this week. I'm angry. I'm overwhelmed by bad news. I hate the patterns I'm seeing in my community. But there is still joy to be found.
#5joysfriday @DebinHawaii
Border patrol pulled over a woman very near my work this morning. I'm sure it was absolutely necessary to have 2 border patrol cars, 2 county cops, and a state cop all there for a 5 foot tall woman and her toddler child. What a production. I'm so angry. 🤬🤬🤬

Before we were Mortals by Michelle Kingdom
This one speaks to me in 2 ways:
1. Community is so important, especially community with other women (and women, of course, includes our trans sisters, just so we're clear)
2. It's fiber art, which has often been relegated to the realm of "crafts," because it has traditionally been a female art form.
