I've been out of reading romance novels for a while because I'm working through grad school. I attempted to get back into it with Tessa Dare's The Duchess Deal (Book 1). DNF, but I wrote a review.

I am firmly in my aromantic era.

All the romance I have in me goes in my books.

I got my first tattoo done today of my leopard gecko‘s paw prints. Knowing that I’ll always have him with me now is such a comfort ❤️

I‘m rewatching the first season of Abbott Elementary and, my goodness, my principal is so much like Ava 😳

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:

Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.

Your cat is perfect.

I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat.

Thank you.

So much yes! I love sex scenes just for the fun of them.

If I say:

"The sex scenes in this book were for titillation, not character development."

That doesn't mean I hate the book or thought there was too much sex.

I hope your little one will be okay ❤️ they’re so precious.

I know many conservatives who claimed to have supported Trump only on the premise that he assured the public that his presidency would curb increasing inflation. Just from an economic standpoint, I wonder if they’re now having buyers‘ remorse. He has reversed that stance and essentially admitted

For everyone saying that SCOTUS can’t constitutionally end birthright citizenship… look, they’re not going to come outright and say “we overrule the 14th amendment of the United States.”

They’ll to do it the way they’ve overruled our other rights: by chipping away at it until nothing’s left.

American Evangelicals support Trump in vast numbers because Trump embodies materialism. And American Evangelical megachurches worship one thing, and one thing only: crass materialism. Jesus is merely the spiritual coupon they use to validate their spending.

If you’ve been following my posts about my leopard gecko, he was euthanized the night of Thanksgiving. We came home to find him unresponsive, rushed him to an emergency vet, and he was gone.

The grief that I feel is suffocating. He was everything to me.
