Just when you think you’ve fallen behind… #Storygraph reminds you you’re still making progress. It was a hard month for me & I didn’t read for a good chunk of it. But somehow I still managed to finish 2 books & maintain my pages read! #SeptemberRecap #BookSky #ReaderSky
StoryGraph monthly recap for September showing 750 pages read, 2 books finished, with an average rating of 4.0. Tom Lake (4.5 stars, fiction) and Gender Queer (3.5 stars, non-fiction) were the 2 books finished this month, all in audiobook format.

Seems like I’m pretty consistent with 2 books a month, and I’m happy with that! 😁
#NoneOfThisIsTrue was thoroughly creepy and I couldn’t stop listening to it. I had to know what happened, even if the story was a bit predictable.

A path in Reenagross Park on Kenmare Bay for #BlueSkyArtShow because I think this was one of the most #Joy filled days of my life. Nothing brought me more happiness than being with the nature of my ancestral home.

Another one…
Screenshot of tweet from Travis Breese at 11:30am April 3 2025 states: The National Weather Service in Louisville has no plans to go out and confirm tornadoes today. We were told last night this is because of recent staffing cuts. They will still attempt to confirm tornadoes from media pictures.

Screenshot from my Substack note reading: Tonight the president of our country spoke to congress in what appears to have been an almost 2 hour long reality tv program. Like the ones greatly orchestrated by media companies, the fascist minority leading our government produced a fabulous spectacle filled with numerous guest appearances, hatch act violations, and prizes sourced by your tax dollars. The Republicans even perfected their leg day work outs live on air! Proving once and for all they can lift themselves up by their bootstraps, bro. As long as they don’t have to step in the mud like the rest of us. When the democrats did their best by wearing pink blazers, the president taunted them in an effort to further sensationalize the event. Unfortunately for the president, and the rest of the bootlickers, the democrats fought back by, uh doing nothing, I guess. With the exception of Senator Warren who really stuck it to them with her clapping! The show closed with even more roaring applause from the “Christian” party while the true moral compass of our country watched in horror from their phones before school tomorrow.
