Me, at home alone—for absolutely no fucking reason: What if a hand just reached out from under the bed and grabbed my ankle?
Me, at home, jumping into bed like a 7 year old.

I'm a digital magpie saving little jewels to share with my writing students. Years ago I took a screenshot of this tweet. @katedollarhyde.bsky.social, was this you? I'd love to get a high resolution credited version, if you still have it. I tried using words to make the point; the chart is better!

My dreams are either I’m at work voting with my team about where to eat lunch, or I’m crawling through caves to leap-stab a pitchfork through chest of the dark witch to pierce her heart and save us all.

Pretzel stays in bed with me all night and soon as I get out of bed she goes back to bed to sleep hard with a lort-I’m-tired energy that I find kind of rude.

A periodic reminder that if you can't afford a book the library does buy books, and sometimes we even buy hundreds of copies of one book. Checking out books from your local library supports authors, which means they get paid and can write more great books!

Have we made any headway in answering the greatest multiverse question of our lifetime: Is it possible for a version of our universe to exist where the _only_ difference is that we have hot dog fingers? Wouldn't their existence mandate a different way of building all conveniences of modern life?
