I read fewer books in 2024 than 2023 (40 vs 54), but so many excellent ones. My faves were JAMES by Percival Everett and ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK by Chris Whitaker. Also loved The Future, Just Another Missing Person, Notes on an Execution, and The God of the Woods. Books, ftw!

I’ve seen #Wicked twice (so far) but didn’t realize Fiyero is Anthony from #Bridgerton until a video popped up in my feed about him having the same horse in both productions.

Mildly surprised when my teenager started watching Somebody Somewhere over my shoulder. Two episodes later she's sitting next to me commenting this is the first show she's seen that feels like real life. I think its quiet authenticity is what's drawn so many of us in. Plus, Sam's singing. And Joel.

I think of this as the Mr. Potatohead phase in #amigurumi. All crocheting complete, waiting to be stitched together into a....?

Welp, I did it. Set aside that 600+ page book, over 400 pages in, to read something that brings me joy.

When my Meta-owned app stopped working, my first instinct was to check Bluesky to see what happened. Feels like that crosses some sort of social-media-current-events threshold that Twitter/X used to fulfill.

I've decided what my next #amigurumi #crochet project will be, but how on earth can I decide what to read next?

Come for demuskified twitter, stay for individual control!
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Let us give thanks to Alexander Simpson, inventor of the adjustable rubber waistband in 1934.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'd forgotten social media could be fun.

Reader vibes: #booksky, writing inspo: #writingcommunity, learning new stuff like overlay mosaic crocheting: #crochet. Scientists, scholars, movie buffs, tea lovers, and George Takei!

Last one on twitter/X/DoomScrollLandia, please turn out the lights.

Books.

When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it.

Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.

Just finished The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo: A delicious blend of historical fantasy, magical realism, and romance. Although I don’t read much in the magical/fantasy realm, I love Bardugo’s books. A great way to get my fix while awaiting the next in her Ninth House series.

Goals!

(May be a while since my crochet experience currently measures at 2.8 amigurumis completed.)

I finally finished this blanket!

At roughly 5 1/2 pounds of yarn and 60,000 stitches, it measures 6' long by 5'5" wide. Yarn is Lion Brand Pound of Love in Black and Elephant Gray. Pattern is "All Skulls" by Sixel Design with an improvised envelope border.

Left The Bad Place last year. Heard this might be The Good Place.

I'm hopeful.
