Happy Thanksgiving!

Drafted my family into our first Turkey Trot, which displeased the younger crowd. 🤪 Went for my own jog when we got home!

Grateful for health, family, and friends. Nothing in life is guaranteed. 🙏

Two of my favorite #Thanksgiving readalouds that aren’t actually Thanksgiving books!

What are you reading this week? #booksky #skybrarian

So I posted on FB and IG asking folks who have read my book to review it. Got this text today from a coworker!

Hi #booksky #authorsky!
Bc I never met a hobby I didn’t want to monetize 😆, is this something you’d consider buying? If so, how much? $3-5?

These ones are gifts, but I want to do author events next year, thought these bookmarks would be cool to have for sale at my table. Will also have freebies.

Went to a really fun sticker swap hosted by CT Junk Journal today. It was cool to be in a room full of other people who also like gluing things into notebooks!

Samhain Remembrance Cookies!

Not soul cakes — an adaptation of my family’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. Hey man, they’re good! 🧡

This book is interesting but I might have to DNF bc I just can’t take listening to what the Nazis did to civilians in occupied territories… 🤮 Siege of Leningrad wasn’t so hot either. Human beings can be really, really terrible. #booksky

Donated two bags of rice and two seasonings to pantry boxes in my town today. Only added $6 to my grocery bill, which is not a lot to help someone out. If you are able, I think it’s a good thing to put on your to-do list this week!

(Yes I shop at 🎯, I’m an imperfect comrade.)

I like that the Halloween issue of Nat Geo kids acknowledges modern witchcraft/Neopaganism:

I’m sure her response will be “well then why don’t you move there.”

No, I just want my own country to have good laws that help people. 🙄

Man, can’t even take a day off from #postcardsagainstfascism! Just left ol Mike a nice voicemail too.

Wow, that was a lot of fun! Played a couple new ones, including one that was reworked today. 🏴‍☠️😆 Nice to see some friends too! @autumn-night.bsky.social @johnbringswar.bsky.social

I totally do this! 🙌🙌 Except for this year when I’ve paused Roth contributions to pay for daycare — but other than that, I put a nominal amount in my 403B and focus on my IRA. My current 403B is invested in a vanguard target date fund, which is the best possible deal I could find.
