Librarian-on-hiatus now working on a bee farm; curious about everything. I wield my joy like a broadsword. Fix your hearts or die. she/her
I truly believe one of the most radical things you can do in These Trying Times is find joy in life regardless. Today my joy is that I woke up, cared for the dogs, pulled a perfect shot of espresso & made myself a mini latte with honey & drank it in bed surrounded by dogs

What's your joy today?

I had my first dream about being in a city that's on fire, so that's cool

Yesterday I thought i would do future marie a favor and spent time prepping a crockpot meal before work, turned it on, gave husband stirring instructions, went to work

Came home and i had not plugged the crockpot in

It's cold and my legs hurt but man, I've had fun today

I tried to learn to draw a fox, with middling success

Just finished creating the Thanksgiving menu, grocery order, and a detailed list of what to prep/cook when (it spans 2 days)

Women's labor is inferior my ass

Also someone remind me to do this in July next year and not now, when I have zero brains from holiday retail season

Had a close call where I almost decided to make from-scratch pasta for Thanksgiving and then remembered I'm cooking for a group of people who eschewed my 3 homemade pies (including cranberry fudge!) in favor of storebought. No homemade manicotti for you, buckos

Took the dogs out to have a peaceful morning poo only to have a transformer blow a couple yards over so now we're all sitting on the couch cuddling to calm our collective nerves, I'm gonna be late for work, and there's probably going to be poo on the floor when I get home

The thing about me is that I'm a stubborn bitch

I left work early so I could go home and winterize my plants, which probably sounds stupid unless you too have plants to winterize

Y'all wanna see my dogs?

It's raining and the urge to stay home and cuddle my dogs is strong

I'm just so sad. It's not even my drama I'm sad about, I just wish folks could be happy and healthy and get along

Hi, just me mindlessly scrolling while I process the info that my little brother has been engaged for 2 months and no one told me until today

I don't have as many sad days anymore but today my BFF said something that I interpreted negatively and I thought about it too much and I've been sad all day and, well, whaddaya gonna do.

5 topics I can talk about for 30 minutes with no prep:

1. Don't be a librarian if there's literally anything else you can be happy doing
2. Dewey decimal system is racist
3. Be suspicious of honey. Be doubly suspicious of organic honey
4. Books as windows & mirrors
5. Bees

If you think that being married to a musician/ audio engineer is romantic, just know that 1) it is, but also 2) hope you like hearing the same music phrase repeated over and over and over and over

Cardamom is an underrated spice (this thought brought to you by the very delicious cajeta and cardamom latte I just had)

Something i loved abt our wedding: there was no "giving away the bride", no being walked down the aisle. We walked towards each other & met in the middle as a symbol of our equality

I'm also deeply sad that I don't have the kind of relationship w/ my dad where I would want him to walk me down

I handmade two beautiful, interesting pies (fudge cranberry and lemon chiffon) and everyone ate the store-bought apple and pumpkin pies instead. 🫠

Li'l post-puruty culture personal growth moment: i found a sexy dress in the back of my closet that I only wore at home "for my husband" and then even with a lot of self-consciousness.

Threw it on to go run merch at a gig tonight without (hardly) any Feelings
