This afternoon it'll switch from coffee to tea and with the grey and rainy weather outside, I can not honestly complain. 10/10 day for my soul.

Our loan payments are nearing more than our income now, and I'd like to be able to do more than just survive 2026.
All payments made go directly to the principal balance of our loans.

Good morning ppl! Confused about what vaccines are now covered & which ones are not? They are all still covered by the gov and insurance plans. YOU CAN STILL GET THEM ALL. They just want you to think you shouldn’t need to. Here is a quick info graphic by the NYT of the vaccines they are reccomending

Good morning, well worn paperbacks of Bluesky!
Today feels a little better than it has in ages, mentally. Maybe, just maybe, it'll suck a lil less.
Be kind to yourself today. 🫶🏻

In the course of my fruitless ballet mystery thing search, I discovered that Chicago is the home of Haymarket Books.
Haymarket Books has a book club. A very affordable book club. All radical Leftist books.
(Wicked smile) I'm gonna get so many books.

I did ARCs for a few years but recently I've had so many authors who complained because I left HONEST reviews, not automatic 5 stars. I'm so done with it.

As of today I am no longer doing ARCs. Deleted my netgalley and Edelweiss accounts, I just don't have the spoons for it anymore 😭
