🌹Just a middle-aged cat lady asking you to read her Substack.

Relentlessly curious ND TCK, too much, says “flip” a lot, obsessed with: teal, native plants, cats, and capybaras. Agus, tha beagan Gaidhlig agam.

#booksky Heartbreaking and essential read, especially for anyone feeling any sense of survivor’s guilt, no matter how removed you are from the genocide. Thank you for sharing your story Plestia ❤️
The Eyes of Gaza - in white capital letters. A Diary of Resilience - in black handwriting font. Plestia Alaqad - in white capital letters. Words are on a blue background with a quote from Rupi Kaur, author of Milk and Honey at the top of the page, “Transforms pain into poetry, offering readers an unfiltered glimpse into the depths of loss, hope, and survival.” The blue background is the sky in a photorealistic image of the head and shoulders of Plestia Alaqad who is standing in the rubble of Gaza. She is wearing a blue Press jacket over a black sweater. There is a mic at the top of her jacket. She is wearing a gold necklace. The ground behind her is sandy earth. Towards the center of the photo on the left there is a very large pile of rubble and debris. On the center right there are high rise buildings that are still standing but clearly bombed. The camera focus is on Plestia who is smiling very slightly.

Finally finished Minor Detail by Adania Shibli. Unpredictable and intense read. Not what I expected and needed to take my time to get through it. Highly recommend! #booksky
Front cover of Minor Detail by Adania Shibli - black and white image of a blurry photo ripped into 4. 2 of the 4 pieces are placed on top of a photo of a beach at the edge of the ocean - this breaks the face up making it unrecognizable.

Clearly no one Scottish was consulted on the title of this Hallmark movie. Doh! 🤣🙄 Mind you, if 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 scheme meant what it actually does for this movie, that would be a pretty interesting concept. 😂

Timeline cleanse. Mainly so we can enjoy nature while it still exists.

Well Feb has been tough so I haven’t finished either of my intended reads, but I’ve started. (To blame: Substack reads and illness)

Here’s my choices for March with the intention to get back to reading more and scrolling less.

2 books: 1 with red cover - Inflamed by Rupa Marta & Raj Patel. 2 with teal and gold cover - Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. Both books have titles in white font.

February fiction and non-fiction reads.

I didn’t finish Black Marxism in Jan, so that will be a continued read in Feb.

Excited to read Ijeoma’s book, having followed her online writing and socials for years. 🤗

Two books lying on a white bed spread. 1. (Fiction) independent People by Halldór Laxness - Blue cover with white writing and a slightly cubist painting of sheep on hills in front of a farm with water and mountains behind it. and 2. (Non-fiction) Be A Revolution by Ijeoma Ouko - very light cream covered with black writing on top of bright bold stripes of color making the title stand out from the rest of the words on the cover.

Sersh enjoying some winter sun. It was actually cold in Savanny today. Aka, sweater weather.
Sersha, a white cat with blue eyes, is slumped against a glass door, basking in the sun in front of a bright blue open door.
