Last read of the month and it was an easy 5⭐️s. I had an excellent high school education, but shame on our history books for erasing how queer holocaust victims were NOT freed by the Allies. The Allies imprisoned the 🩷 and 🖤 triangles. So much history, identities, and knowledge lost. 💔 #booksky

We need a return to analog culture: handwritten letters, seeing films in the cinema, reading books, in-person visits, time in the outdoors. We weren't meant to spend our whole lives online. The joys of tangible living are something no one can take from you.

During a Fish Identification dive for my AOW scuba certification, we were told to find a fish whose name we didn’t know, then identify it using our field guide. I chose two. The first ended up being a Fairy Basslet. 😍🧚🏽♀️ The second was a Slippery Dick. Together, I think they sum up my general vibe.

The thought of family members going through my belongings after I croak has stopped me from buying several things that would probably bring me lots of joy in the meantime.
