My mom's memorial is on Saturday, so I can't attend the No Kings protest.
But if you're free and on the fence about going, I encourage you to go. Despite her debilitating autoimmune disorder (scleroderma), my mom believed in showing up. In speaking out. I hope America makes her proud this weekend.

Everything is pretty terrible right now, but I found a moment of pure joy today when riding around on my late mother's e-trike (4+ weeks after my shoulder replacement surgery). I'll take it!

Annual tradition of making violet syrup. A few drops of lemon juice turns the blueish syrup a vivid purple.

This was my top YouTube recommendation. The algorithm knows me a little too well (currently listening as I work).

New book day! I stopped by a local indie bookstore, Irreverent Bookworm, and picked up Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor and A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher. I've been itching to dive in all afternoon! 📚

2024 was a mixed bag, but I at least managed to read 56 books, surpassing my goal of a book a week. I really do read all genres, though this year was heavy on fantasy.
If you read something fantastic this past year, let me know! I'm always adding to my TBR list 📚💙
