Temperature stitching:30/31. I know I took a wrong turn on that second window, but since I don't know how to fix it yet, I'm leaving it be. /5

I was stitching, and then this happened:

Afternoon break, with today's pickups. I like it when I can make sentences, phrases, and poems out of my library books.
Book spine phrase: top book is white, title "Deconstructing" in blue. Bottom book is black, title "Invisible Jesus" in white.

Interesting. I freely admit that I'm 8% inauthentic, though. It's called masking.
Text meme reads: Leigh Anne: The Librarian with a Roaring Voice. Navigating the wilds of Bluesky like a librarian armed with hot takes and sarcasm. An enlightening mix of advocacy and humor, wrapped up in the warn embrace of library intrigue. 92% Authenticity, 88% Thought Leader, 95% Social Justice and Advocacy, 90% Autism Awareness.

I'm taking a break from the Birnbaum to read this today. The author has all the music on her website, so you can listen as you read. #BookSky #MusicSky
Cover of the Book "A Chamce to Harmonize." It's white, with images stamped on it in gold: A guitar, A banjo, a bald eagle, FDR's head, the American flag, a fiddle, and a harmonica. There are blue music notes scattered across the cover too. The title appears in blue, with the subtitle underneath : "How FDR's hidden music unit sought to save America from the Great Depression - one song at a time." Finally, the author's name appears in blue at the bottom: Sheryl Kaskowitz

I read certain books so you don't have to.

These passages appear on page 2 of Kevin Roberts' "Dawn's Early Light," and include a long list of things Robert's believes should be "burned."
