💫📚 books read in 2025 📚💫

1. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner: I hadn't found a bookt that drew me in so far this year, so I decided to reread this series and what an excellent idea that was! I'm still finding new things to scream about - it's just incredibly brilliant. Gen!!!!

86. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins: a rollicking sensation novel, full of all the contrived coincidences and shocking moments one would expect; if ever there was a book that NEEDED an ot3 (and indeed might have implied one!), this is that book

I should be writing or baking the cookie dough chilling in the fridge or doing meal prep but instead I am looking for jumbo flyers and lazy kates for my spinning wheel, because last week's class REALLY made things click (I have a great instructor, and great classmates), so I am in this FOREVER

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.

SOMEONE wasn't happy about not being allowed out on the deck this morning.

A fluffy white cat behind a window screen, with her paws pressed against it, her expression one of grumpiness and thwarted ambition.

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

October 25 is the date of the Council of Elrond and, therefore, the date on which Frodo utters one of my favorite lines in all of literature.

“I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way.”

That’s all we can ever do, I think: decide what to do with the time that is given us.

SNAP recipients: now is a GREAT time to learn how to lock and unlock your EBT card, to prevent theft if your card is skimmed, and to offer to help others learn to do it. Search "lock your EBT card" and your state.

It's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th, if you want to know.

Two frames from a scene in Lord of the rings.

Frodo, waking up, hears gandalf say "you are in the house of Elrond, and it's 10 o'clock in the morning on October the 24th if you want to know."

Solis. Inspired by "Triadic Ballet" by Oskar Schlemmer

The artwork shows a stage performance with multiple actors. The background of the image has several overlapped layers with arches, round windows and stairs. Sun symbol appears in different parts of the artwork. In the foreground on the left side there's a girl dancing with a faceless figure, next to them is a woman wearing a dress with an arch attached to it and balls running out of a smaller arch on her skirt. Behind her there's a faceless figure with body parts made of different shapes. Next to the figure there's a child standing still. In front of them there's a figure peeking though a hole in the floor with scissors trying to cut a jumping rope that is used by a young girl. The costumes are inspired by Triadic Ballet by Oskar Schlemmer. The story of the artwork follows the life of a girl played by different actors. The image is colorful and densely decorated with patterns.

we also got to see and talk about a bunch of different sheep fleeces last night, which of course made my brain go BRRRRRR in all the best ways

a collection of samples from various sheep fleeces; they are in a variety of natural colors, from cream, to dove grey, to a very dark brown
