If there is one thing the current state of affairs in the US has taught me about myself, it’s that I could not be trusted with a Death Note journal.

Graffiti duck looks like he’s about to give me a beat down but goodness he’ll be adorable while doing so.

I never thought I would hope I DON’T ever have grandchildren, but the thought of my kids having to risk it in today’s world terrifies me. In fact, everyone should stop procreating.

Maybe it’s time we take a break as a species. Maybe the future of highly evolved crabs will do a better job of it.

Our local library is closed for two years (boo!) for long overdue renovations (yay!). This has prompted me to finally download and use the Libby app. I feel foolish - it is AMAZING. All the audio books and ebooks I can imagine - FOR FREE? The decision to cancel KU and Audible doesn’t hurt as much.

Lately it seems every right wing dude rhapsodizing about 45/47 in my office follows up with how “the left” is going to off him. “He won’t even make it to inauguration,” said with such GLEE. They want a martyr so badly. It’s weird af.

New to my #hobonichi Techo Cousin, and I’m already obsessed with looking at beautiful layout posts for inspiration and with admiration.

The downside is watching all of the Weeks users starting their 2025s already while I have to wait!

Enjoyable watch (or listen) if you have 34 minutes. @hankgreen.bsky.social is such a treasure.
