It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

This morning I finished book no. 20 of March.
Definitely way better than I expected in a month with a new job. But I’ve been reading tons after I get home from work (instead of doomscrolling), yay! #booksky

60% done with my ARC of A Death on Corfu, and loving it! Fin-de-siècle, proper young English widow gets drawn into the murder of another family’s maid. #booksky #mysterybooks

Had to start a second template for March, since strangely everyone’s templates seem to stop at 16 books. 🤔
I guess if I’m going to keep avoiding reality this hard, I’m going to need to start making my own templates!

Hi yes I did start Sunrise on the Realing on Thursday, and have consumed all 5 Hunger Games books since then. This is fine. It’s definitely normal to read 5 books in 3 days. Yep.

I made two loaves of Irish soda bread, and after dinner my 11yo said “I’m so full I have to lie down”.
I think I got it right. 😂☘️

As someone who lives about an hour from the Grand Canyon… the entrance almost always looks like that after 10am.
I am absolutely gutted by the gutting of the NPS. Bought a “support our parks” shirt at Jamestown last week! 1/ 🧵

Reading Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie while I rearrange my furniture on this blizzardy afternoon.
(Yes, it snows in northern Arizona. Accumulating at 2-3 inches an hour right now!)
