When it’s both #IndieBookstoreDay and #Caturday you read your most recent purchase with your cat. I read this earlier this year, but needed my own copy-a survival guide for the current situation in the US. #BookSky #NowReading #ReadingIsSexy #FightFascism #OnTyranny

This weekend we saw Dua Lipa in SF: we danced nonstop, cheered every time we were showered in confetti, and left remembering why we fight, what we have to lose, and that being able to even hear music is an incredible privilege that should not be taken for granted.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion lately about what is “appropriate” in these difficult political times. A colleague even asked me if it was okay to be happy recently. I always have to respond that if we are past joy, then what are we fighting for?

Live music really does feed the soul and Wolf Alice did not disappoint. The Fox Theater is absolutely gorgeous and I love a real marquee. I don’t know why I have never seen a show here before, but glad it is on my radar now!

It might sound trite to say I left my heart in San Francisco, but it really is true. #GoldenGate

I think the thing critics (and haters) don’t understand about Taylor Swift is that she releases music for herself and the fans and they really don’t care what you think. She’s redefining how women gauge success and whether you like her or not that’s irrelevant. 🤷‍♀️

There is an added side effect that 1:4 people wake up with no emotional attachment to the person they were grieving, which is horrible to think about. While the entire premise is interesting, I am someone who sees grief as an expression of love, so it would never appeal to me to skip it.

Some good reads last month and looking forward to hitting my spooky TBR in October-if only the onslaught of my long awaited library holds would slow down 🤣

My 120th book of the year- a unique take on vampires that focuses on themes of self discovery on loneliness. I really enjoyed the structure and simplicity of the storytelling.

The premise of Nikki Erlick’s books are always intriguing to me. In this case it’s the story of multiple people whose paths cross due to a medical treatment where you sleep away your grief. Still thinking about that after finishing this earlier this month.

Magical realism, sisterhood, a bit of a love story, and of course choking an abusive man with plants using only your mind. Not a bad read, but I didn’t love the narrator.
