My local library allows you to get a same-day ecard to access the digital library! Worth looking into, if like me, you are more inclined to borrow ebooks/audiobooks versus physical materials

And sometimes all you need to feel hopeful and joyful again is a lord of the rings themed cocktail evening on a Monday 🙌🏽

Some local businesses are giving out free coffee or encouraging activities at their store without the obligation of spending. Worthwhile to go and support small businesses on blackout day (without spending)

If you see a goth looking sad, it’s probably because goth jewelry tends to be covered in snags despite most goth clothes being eminently snaggable

Made the mistake of checking the news. That’s honestly on me.

I’m just so happy these two are occupied so I can focus

Genetics analysis breaks my brain sometimes because why aren’t the papers specifying the chromosome build??? How do I know which one you used??? Am I supposed to do an ensembl search on each of the variants in your results?!? Pls 😔✋🏽

Not even a big deal esp since it’s not life-threatening!!! But the hair loss I’m experiencing bc of this tumor is sending my self esteem down the drain (along with clumps of my hair). I spent years growing it out, but looks like I’m going to try out shorter styles for the time being 🙂‍↕️

Idk who needs to hear this, but Costco does same day grocery delivery via Instacart and can also ship things to you (non perishables and lots of other stuff)

Their online store has lots of the kind of stuff you might buy at target

It’s clear as day: I will only be buying locally, second-hand, or directly from brands of choice. Probably better for my wallet anyway if I’m only buying what I need and not overspending at you-know-where 💁🏽‍♀️

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🗣️
*inhales* MY SEQUEL IS BOOK-SHAPED!! ✨

Or well, mostly book-shaped! These are advance reader copies, which I wasn’t expecting to get! These copies are missing some of the polish of the final book, but it is a story in full & I am overjoyed to have it in this form 🥰

ASHFIRE is out April 15, 2025!

I cannot overemphasize the importance of COMMUNITY ✨

Creating Community, finding joy with others, laughing & commiserating together.

I had several meetings with colleagues today and while we had no answers, we just shared space.

Now I’m going to happy hour with my closest friend b/c Community ✨

Really easy way to delete all your tweets and unfollow everyone while keeping your account active solely to say that you’re no longer on twitter and have moved on to blue sky
First step is to download your data from Twitter, which is also nice bc I believe you can upload it to blue sky so hit tweets and useful threads can continue to live on!

I’ve been in the DMV for 2 yrs and still feel like I just got here. Thankfully, I’m moving to an area that seems more community-centered and I’m looking forward to becoming more involved 🙌🏽

It’s been about a month since I adopted and brought home an absolute menace to society. Zora Jones loves hair ties, communicates with aliens (???) in the night, attacks any and everything, steps all over me, and watches my every waking moment. I’ve not known a moment of peace…and yet I love her 😭🖤

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!
