I've been dealing with a loss in the family, so I haven't been on here much. Thought I'd share a cool photo of one of my #cats I just took.

Just finished first February read. I have never read a book like this before, and the #poetry and storytelling legit made me cry. I'm horrible at poetry, but this inspired me to try to write some. #writersky #booksky #fiction

A collection of my favorite excerpts from Noam Chomsky's On Anarchism so far. My mother gifted me this book ❤️ #non-fiction #Chomsky #readingispolitcal #resist #onanarchism
![Highlighted text from book reads:
Man: then how can we build a social contract which is cooperative in nature, but at the same time recognizes individual humanity? It seems to me that there's always going to be a very tense polar pull there.
[Chomsky] Where's the polar pull - between what and what?
Man: Between a collective value and an individual value.
[Chomsky] ... it seems to me that a crucial aspect of humanity is being a part of functioning communities ...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q6d2o7i2unfpdp6m4n3bu6nh/bafkreic63bp6q2gioewh2v2wohlxkxb5bpgvy2iipapvoagrrgjpytnssm@jpeg)

If you're somebody who constantly wonders, "Am I a good person?" This book is for you. Antagonist reminds me of Overhaul from My Hero. Also, I suck at giving reviews. #booksky #sci-fi #fiction #bookreview #paranormal #youngadult #urbanfantasy

I just finished Vicious by V.E. Schwab and about to start The Secret History by Donna Tartt. My doomscrolling was a reward for finishing my first fiction book in a long time (beginning research for one I want to write).

Absolutely love this book (Vicious by V.E. Schwab) but also absoluetly couldn't read this line without thinking of the "concepts of a plan" line from our, ever pedantic, president. #fiction #sci-fi #readingispolitcal #booksky

Reading to my daughter this evening before she goes to bed and I just had to post a snippet from her book (Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell). I just thought it was such a spectacular bit and I can't articulate why but wanted to share. #fiction #children'sfiction #booksky #fantasy

I am currently reading Vicious as a comp title to the book I'm working on. This will be my first book so of course I had to go out and buy three books for "research purposes". That's tax deductible if I make it big, right? #urbanfantasy #fictionbook #paranormal #booksky

Chalk drawings and lessons with my oldest is one of my favorite things. I've also recently noticed random people stopping to see what we draw. My husband called me insane but I thought leaving little factoids would be fun. #caveart #homeschool #chalkart #socialsciences

Recently finished up these two books and I am forever in awe of ancient humans (or non-humans as in Cave of Bones). Is it weird that reading about the very beginning of humanity seems poignant still in modern times? #nonfiction #prehistoric #audiobook #socialsciences
