Not actually a penguin. Instead, a very human librarian. Mostly cat pictures and book recommendations here.
And the number of times I had to rewrite that clarification, on a day I did NOT go to work… frustration! Folks, always stay aware of your surroundings and beware of standing up too fast into wooden cabinets. They fight back more than you’d think.

I would prefer real audiobooks of the short fiction, but my brain is still damaged so these stories are inaccessible to in digital print form. I’ll take what I can get and be grateful not to cringe at every period in a sentence.

Yay Maeve! I now live in the same city as my former foster Lilith, renamed Maeve, and I can’t wait to catsit for her!

We move in a week! How many weeks until we’re unpacked enough that my partner agrees to fosters???

Rainbow capitalism aside, queer books are actively under attack, and now is a great time to show publishers there's still a thriving market for books with LGBTIA+ characters and by LGBTIA+ authors. If you've been hoping for an excuse to buy queer books on your wish list, consider this your free pass

The person who built our house put the bathroom HVAC vent in the floor next to the bathtub. We know he had kids because a relative of his volunteers with the same rescue we do. What on earth was he thinking? (We cover it with a towel or there just will be water in the basement with every shower.)

Thanks, Billy and Pepper! Your sister says hello!

Still recovering from the one in December! I’m up to six hours of work a day… I’m back to full time next week! I still can’t multitask, though, which means I’m reading so many fewer books and what I do read doesn’t always stick.

I am DNFing a lot more Hugo books than normal this year. I think it’s the concussion; my brain isn’t up to snuff yet.

My partner and I went to get the protest signs out of the shed and I was very disappointed to find that the Jewish ones were too specific for this particular protest. Gotta get myself something from T’ruah…

*checks* Yep, Readercon is still a masks required convention. If they can do it, why can’t other events??? (Sorry Readercon is on the wrong coast for you!)

No picture yet because I haven’t had the spoons for image description, but mom is 5lbs and not producing enough milk so the tiny babies are way too tiny. We started supplemental feeding today and the kittens Do Not Like It.

These two haven’t been trapped, but we get a mom and three three-week-olds tomorrow!
