Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
some midwinter reads from yours truly in @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social
A book of poetry sits on the arm of a grey couch. The title is Poetry is Not a Luxury.
A page from a book shows a poem by Bhanu Kapil called I Want to Wake Up
highly recommend this stellar collection 💫
In addition to her other iconic work (Moira on Schitt’s Creek is one of the funniest TV characters of all time, period), Catherine’s scene-stealing in Christopher Guest’s films (esp. Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show) is essential viewing. I’m sad she won’t light up the screen again. RIP
Happy New Year to you and yours, dear Kimm! 💕

As the new year approaches, I’ve been looking back at old pictures. 10 years ago, at age 33, I had a buzzcut and a baby face!
At 23, I could never imagine being that age, let alone making it to my 40s. Feeling grateful for every step of the journey today. 🌈

The title page for Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid is displayed on an e-reader. A cozy living room scene is out of focus behind it.
just doing some research for work 😅 🏒 🔥
PS: this is actually book two of the series; book one features Kip and Scott and, like their episode in the show, made me CRY (and need a cold ginger ale)
sorry! 😕

I own more Snoopy/Peanuts-themed clothing now, in my 40s, than at any point in my youth. 😎 #snoopy #peanuts

Listening to Luther Vandross’ greatest hits and reminded that he really was one of the greatest. That incredible crescendo in Here and Now just hit as I typed this. 🎶
