Ok so over on Instagram I used to track my reading and always had nice chats with people about books so I’m going to move that over here now that I’ve deleted my Insta. (I’m also on StoryGraph as mittenstrings.)
I try to read 100 books a year. I fail as often as I succeed.

There’s no device in my life like the Yoto Player. The technology and design is flawless, perfect, no notes. Dealing with their customer service, who appear to be under strict orders to never read an email to completion, is like ripping my own fingernails out.

Not exotic at all but my very first department meeting at my very first academic job I was so shit scared I threw up in the bathroom on my way to the meeting room.
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

Most days that I have the kiddos my other half takes them after dinner, especially these last few months that I've been trying to ease back into a consistent writing schedule before my sabbatical starts. Today I know I am overstimulated because I put on noise cancelling headphones with no music.

As a child, I killed several Teddies Ruxpin because I absolutely could not be convinced that I didn’t have to put coins in it to make it work, which probably says a lot about my lifelong understanding of earning and deserving joy.
