First migraine in 4 months today so instead of reading a whole book like I planned, I'm reading bits on my kindle 2 pages at a time. Also I feel like a bag of rocks.

I am 10 years late on Go Set a Watchman but holy shit balls, this is poetry. Not the relationship I thought I was going to have with a childhood hero. I grew up with Scout today. And the audiobook... 💯🎉💯. #booksky

Book number goals are fake and silly, but I do love a challenge of finishing 4 more books by tomorrow while working. This is how I fight capitalism, right? #booksky

I hate finishing a really good, fun book (Starter Villain, by @scalzi.com) because the next book you pick up is rarely the right vibe. Also finished Lies My Teacher Taught Me today, which is another MUST READ for Americans. #booksky

Today's project: tandem audio and paper read Lies My Teacher Told me by James Loewen while I make the earth, moon, and sun #lego #booksky

I can tell my anxiety meds are working because I just took 5 guilt-free minutes in the middle of my workday to play chase with my dog in the kitchen.

Finally started. God, it's about time. Buddy reading it with my twin and listening on audio because everyone told me to.

I read half of Yeonnam-Dong's Smiley Laundromat by Kim Jiyun last night. Can't wait to get more into this sort of cozy lit that is cross-generational, makes place a character, gives animals almost literal voice, and has a day-in-the-life plot of interconnected short stories. So uplifting.

So I can access my TikTok account today but I can't see the feed. The messages yesterday plus inaugurating a racist felon on MLK Jr Day makes me want to delete my account today instead of waiting for news.... Am I just pms'ing too close to the sun here? #tiktokban

This was a gift from a reddit secret Santa and has been unread on my shelf for years. I recently opened it and found an insane gift.
