Have a flower. Columbine my BF grew from seeds :)

Seriously though, this is a gorgeous book. Well done. Very proud of you and happy for the world that you’re still willing to share your words with us!

If you live within driving distance, our kite festival goes into day two tomorrow. I highly recommend flying a kite with 100s of kids to remind you why we’re fighting

When you’re too excited and don’t post the picture like a derp.

Yes. Yes I do.

If you see this and you’re in the mood for this sort of thing quote post a beach pic from your gallery (and don’t forget alt text)

The sky this time of year almost makes up for the temperatures. Almost.

And there are books in the world, so at least I’m a horrible mammal who can read stories.

Another book rec as we wind down this year. Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay was one of those books I snagged cuz I love the author but didn’t know much about the book so I went in cold. So glad I did. What a ride. Chilling and sometimes darkly humorous and a testament to modern horror film and angst.

Read it In a single sitting. It’s the kinda book that you wish you’d made popcorn for. It’s witty and scary and fun and relevant and bloody and good. Closed it with a satisfied “hell yea” and recommend it to anyone who wants a bloody romp with “eat the rich” vibes.

I really enjoyed this when I was feeling kind of low on reading during the worst of the eyeball drama. I read some in my physical copy and listened to the audio book when the eye wouldn’t cooperate. It’s sweet and sad and hopeful and well-written and the characters feel real. Also time travel.

Reminder that this day is whatever you want it to be. Maybe it’s food with friends or family. Maybe it’s eating pizza alone with a book. Maybe it’s just doing what you’d normally do.

The “holiday” is made up and traditions are whatever each of us decides.
