I’m no longer holding back from compulsively buying books at garage sales. This book I got today is a piece of history that DOGE can’t get to. It’s not hoarding, it’s archiving!

I listed to some coverage about the attack on higher ed today and then this gem was part of tonight’s bedtime stories:

It’s kid naptime. I’m lying in bed listening to the new @mymorningjacket.bsky.social with a new library book. I give this Saturday afternoon 5 stars.

I have old-man-yelling-at-cloud thoughts about the quality of product literature nowadays.

This was not a good pick for my “read fiction to avoid reality” coping method. Le Carre’s descriptions of Trump’s effect on global politics from back in 2019 appear to have come from a crystal ball. Ugh. (Good read though. Meh ending.)

Another day another probably-equally-expensive-as-store-bought 3 eggs.

It’s this cold outside:

My hotel has Wes Anderson vibes.

Update: haven’t exploded my house yet, smells like beef.

My first experience with a pressure cooker/canner resulted in broken jars. I realize now I should get used to the “cooking” part before moving on to the “canning” part.

I tore through “From Here to the Great Unknown” by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough. What started out as entertaining pop-culture fluff turned into a poignant, brutal analysis of their personal grief and loss. I’m still crying. Hug your children. #Booksky

Finally found time to finish “The Secret War of Julia Child” by Diana R. Chambers. Historical fiction that ends in true love is what I needed these past few weeks. #Booksky
