Full disclosure: since last Nov, all I read are queer Romances and #StarTrek novels. If the book doesn't have a guaranteed #HEA or rest on a united Earth socialist utopia, it's a non-starter.

My #Farpoint shawl is coming along! I've already leveled up since Sat & now I'm on the row with the pips, so it's time to learn bobbles!
I'll be wearing this at #STLV next summer in my photo with Gates McFadden 😻😻😻
Loving this pattern & the yarns!

I’ve seen reporting that both sides are feeling the pain. I don’t know what happens if Democrats blink first.
Seems like a really good time to call your Senators. Republicans favor the wealthy over the rest of us. We can eat cake and die.

Just watched #TheLifeofChuck & am still teary-eyed (basically non-stop since Act Two). I had no idea what to expect (#Spoilerphobe) & was hooked from the gate.
As a long-time King fan, I braced myself for the ending to crash & burn, but it definitely did not. 10/10 Definitely recommend.
