Booking my annual checkup immediately following a July of haggis, tatties, and whiskey may have been an error on my part.

I’m fairly certain she stole the carrot from someone’s garden along the way but I have learned when not to ask. 😳

My 77yo mom was pulled aside by TSA for having a giant carrot in her purse. This is possibly the most on brand event related to her ever.

I did, whew. Whoever it was followed a ton of people I’d never seen before. So crazy!

I was hacked this morning, trying to get my account back to normal! Apologies for any interactions I had while I was not myself! 😱

I loved this one too!

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

Henri when I tell him he gets to go play with his friends today 😂❤️

Me *sexting*: I read that book you recommended.

Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall gets all the stars from me, just the most beautiful historical fiction that will make you cry, plus the wildest twists.

I always joke about playing the type of records that any 1800s ghosts in our house might enjoy, but last night Maria Callas started playing when nobody was near the music space, so I probably need to be a little more diligent about keeping them happy. 😳

I loved The Ministry of Time!

I had high hopes but it absolutely exceeded them. I made soo many highlights!

My first 5⭐️ horror read of the year! Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng is the dark, gruesome, and powerful story of a woman who cleans crime scenes at the beginning of the pandemic.
Thank you to Mira Books for the ARC; this one comes out April 29th.

I just started this morning and what is this beautiful book. It’s SO GOOD. ❤️

I’m reading this one right now and simultaneously enjoying it and stressing over it!

This is my favorite series of all time.

Here was Henri patiently waiting for my meeting to end so we could go smell things.

upon further reflection evolution was a mistake. today i shall be focusing on growing back my gills and returning to the sea

I am loving this horror novel with Vietnamese mythology and monsters that may swim beneath us or live within us. It’s written beautifully; I’ve been highlighting like a maniac while devouring it.
Thank you to @bloomsburybooks.bsky.social for They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran!

I’m loving today’s flight read so far: it’s a raw and gritty coming-of-age story of three young girls in nineties Yorkshire, England.
Thank you so much to @henryholtbooks.bsky.social for the ARC of We Pretty Pieces of Flesh by Colwill Brown!

I will officially be hibernating with this on release date. The Murderbot sci fi series is my happy place.

I blinked and the cute hockey player who was asking how I did on the calculus test is now in my kitchen wearing a full-on Grandpa cardigan talking about our electric bill. Where did forty years go?

This feels so relevant right now.

ok but like, how are we getting any work done. i'm trying to tippy tap away at my silly little keyboard but every fifteen minutes or so the new stupidest thing anyone's ever done happens.

What if an heiress you didn’t know was murdered, and shockingly left her generational wealth to you? What if you had no alibi for the night she died?
Thank you to @readlandmark.bsky.social for this juicy locked room mystery with so many twists!
