Spent my birthday with my kiddos making bracelets, then walking around and handing them out! 10/10
A pile of multi-color beaded bracelets which also have letter beads saying "NoKings" "Love 4 All" "Freedom 4 All" and other similar sentiments.

WHAT?!?! This is one of the best movies of all time.

They did Chain Reaction dirty too?!?! How are you going to give Keanu Reeves AND Morgan Freeman 18%

Shameful behavior.
Rotten Tomatoes score for Chain Reaction with a Tomatometer of 18% and Popcornometer of 27%. Absolutely shameful.

Portland Pride Festival was a lot of fun. Found a new favorite artist. Could have stood in their booth all day staring at their art. Snagged the one below and I can't wait to frame and hang it.

Check 'em out! www.sanmiguelart.site/selectedworks

I have started reading (shout out to Chirp's audiobooks!) "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. It starts with the premise that we have enough resources to meet everyone's basic needs and then dives into the policy choices that prevent it. Thoroughly enjoying it!
The cover of "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. It shows a globe with the top half cut away where one half of the top is a towering smart city with solar panels and wind turbines and the other half of the top is a healthy forest with animals. The water and air are clean!

The best part about being in a book group is that I get to read books I wouldn't pick up on my own.

P.S. yay for libraries and holds!
The cover of the boom Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie. It has an old house with a single window lit up and the shadow of hands in the window.

Today's search for joy landed me a lovely walk, iced coffee, a ridiculous cat, and an ace lesbians manga. Win.
The manga "Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon" with a Siamese cat figure making a silly face on top of it. In the background is an iced coffee and the box the figure came in.

The first book about limits that left me feeling empowered to make meaningful changes - The Dance of Anger helped me to see anger as a data point that indicated I needed to 1) do something different and 2) treat others like adults who were capable of learning how to manage their emotions.
The cover of "The Dance of Anger: A woman's guide to changing the patterns of intimate relationships" by Harriet Lerner, Ph.D. a New York Times Bestseller with more than two million copies sold.

A still from the movie Chain Reaction. Rachel Weisz is holding Keanu Reeves arm while reading a paper. Behind them is the skeleton of a dinosaur in a museum.

Well WA doesn't deserve such a fabulous creature then! And you should definitely move to OR :-D

I took it twice because why not, and both answers are very accurate depends on if the adhd or the autism is winning at the moment. 😅

Staring out the window at trees while drinking a cuppa coffee while the cat sleeps next to me is a pretty great way to start the day.

I HIGHLY recommend these two
The cover of "To Shape a Dragon's Breath" by Moniquill Blackgoose. The Cover art is a stylized red dragon with flowers on either side. The cover of "Phoeniz Extravagany" by Yoon Ha Lee. The cover art is a red metallic dragon without legs and wings.

I've only read book 1, but it had me laughing out loud repeatedly - an excellent introduction to gag/comedic manga, if you don't have some knowledge of yakuza and k-pop culture read the author's notes at the end first.
The cover for "The Yakuza's Bias" by Teki Yatsuda which has a yakuza dressed in a sharp black suit with a sneer on his face, smoking a cigarette, and holding a k-pop lightstick sitting under a framed picture of k-pop star bias

This past year when I was too overwhelmed to read novels, I learned mangas are an amazing way to keep reading! The graphics are less busy and intense than U.S. comics (which exhaust my eyes) and the huge variety of story lines makes finding something you like fairly easy. This one was a favorite!
The cover of the manga "She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat" by Sakaomi Yuzaki - has a woman with long black hair wearing a grey sweatsuit holding a plate with a large stack of pancakes standing next to a woman with short light brown hair wearing a cream v-neck and black skirt with a floral pattern on it holding a skillet and flipping a pancake with a spatula.

We didn't celebrate Christmas when I was growing up, but we did watch Monday night football, so I'm celebrating correctly :-D
