Claire Holliday

I’ve been listening to podcasts while I work today and I noticed something: women on podcasts don’t speak over one another. Men do. That tracks.

Last night I finished Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers. I’ve said many times in my life that a book would stick with me for a long time to come. This one, though, has worked its way into me forever. What beautiful writing, so clean and restrained, and a mesh of characters I’ll never forget. 🍊

Currently on day 3 of the Synarel spray for ovarian suppression for the treatment of complex and progressed stage IV endo. It’s been a time. I’ve essentially been bed bound with symptoms but I’m hoping that if it’s this extreme to get used to, it’ll have a correspondently significant benefit. 🤞🏻

I just know I’m going to! 🩵

Omg! Is it being streamed? :)

10% into Mortal Skin by @authorlilymayne.bsky.social and I feel the tendrils of obsession unfurling 🪲

When your Instagram stalking goes from ‘ugh f*** them’ to ‘aw I hope they’re well’: that’s how you know you’ve matured. 😌

80S ALIEN STORY?!

And it’s YOUR work - not for the faint of heart. What a gem. 💎

This sounds lovely, do you have a recipe? :)

Hi BlueSky, I had a little break but I’m back to waffle on about books etc.
Currently reading 5 books and living my best life 💅🏻

Just give that USD$19 money to a food bank if you’re gonna throw it away on a single damn strawberry 🍓

Had a lovely morning today. I went to a pop up market with Stu and one of my closest friends!

Hi Midnight you look like my baby girl Leela!

When I’m sad, I like to go on Reddit and help out trans gals seeking makeup advice. It makes me happy that I seem to be one of many who enjoy doing this. 🩵

You’re a generous island homeowner to let them loot 😂

I will!!! I got orange trees this time!

Home today with bad pain. I’m immensely grateful for having a kind and caring manager who reminds me that rest is productive. I have my chihuahua in bed with me, my cat nearby, my kindle in hand and my newest ACNH island ready. I can manage today. 🏝️ 📕

Thank you - she had to be honoured. Kinda thinking of doing it again with better water in the background. She deserves it. 🐟

Do not go gentle into that good night. Swim, swim, toward the shining of the light.

Steven, I love you.

I’m sorry for what happens when my Hannibal obsession is reactivated.

My husband bought me a beautiful jade ring for Valentine’s Day! With jade being on my mind, I decided it was time to finally read The Green Bone Saga by @fondalee.bsky.social ! I’ve been recommended more than any other fantasy series ever, so I’m almost certain I’m going to love it. 💚

It’s called fashion, look it up.

Goddamn, Kendrick. Goddamn.

Is he living with you now? He’s lovely. I bet he smells like popcorn.

God I love mycology

The post-food ennui is real. I had crab sandwiches for lunch and god, it was nice.

Okokok favourite album and/or favourite book from the last year? PS I love you guys ☺️
