Hi! Wow, there are so many new faces here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I'm here mainly for book convos, but am privy to just sharing random thoughts and potentially ranting from time to time.
Thank you so much for being here!

WATCHING A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes to see if I want to read the book.
And, to no one's surprise, I do not want to read the book.

I recently took a trip with my cousin and when I tell you the dynamic is the *exact same* as it is between Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin in A Real Pain? I have needed so much sleep in the days I've been home because I am so exhausted (I am Jesse Eisenberg).

There is one thing guaranteed in my life: if my husband is gone, that's when the dog decides to break down. Either he poops all over the house, gets in a tussle with an animal in our yard, has a bodily disfunction, or injures himself. Or any combination of these.

Baked a carrot cake and made deviled eggs for Easter today.
My husband is doing pork and wild rice in the crockpot, and making cornbread.
It unexpectedly ended up being the two of us for a holiday I never really grew up celebrating but he did. I think this might be my favorite one yet 💚

The NY/DC political media: “how did we all fail to see that Donald Trump was a fascist?”
Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

I love that medication can help me get a solid night's sleep, but both mornings I've used it, I'm sluggish for hours afterward. Like, a 30-min nap feels like it would fix me 😴

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
