It's really crazy that when you choose to stop using the BiG gIaNt as an online source, you suddenly find that things are a lot harder to find outside of it.

Sort of like that's their whole point, huh.

I will never shut up about how the book, Life of Pi, changed my life.

I read it in middle school and it quite literally changed the chemistry of my brain. It altered the way I think.

I'm re-reading it right now and I've been brought to tears many times. I'm halfway done.

A story; a work of art.

If anyone is wondering, I am doing quite poorly thanks

The midterm elections are in 644 days.

"Do you even remember what you read? How can you if you've read 7 books this month?"

I consume books like people consume television and music, and I remember all the books I read and I review them too.

Books are my peace; to be lost in another world is to be safe.

I have had this space heater since before September and it has taken me until now to realize I can just.. unplug it and bring it to different rooms in my house. This realization was brought to me by frozen pipes.

(1/)

So I have no hot water in my bathroom, but I do in my kitchen. I went to my basement to try and find my pipes that went up there and it was a lost cause.

I decided to hot box my bathroom with my space heater as a first attempt, aiming the heater under the cabinet where the pipes are for the tub.

I want to stay up all night and read like I did when I was a teenager bc there's no school (so no work for me) but ofc it's 8:30 and I'm drooling on the couch already 😭

BEING OLD STINKS why do I have an internal bedtime

Curse these bone timers

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

Actually I think it's okay to say I'm just fucking scared right now.

I'm really, really scared.

I think the real weird thing about choosing to phase off of meta apps is that I have deleted them from my home pages and changed the main "folder" I have there which has my reading apps, Tumblr, bsky, snap, etc

Hi & welcome ~ I am a curly-haired human bean who drives bus and reads a lot. I have 3 dogs and a lemon zest for life.

I spread joy every day like it's contagious and I'm thankful you're here 💝✨

Shall I compare thee to a winters day? Cold, bleak, and smelling slightly of mildew?

No?

Okay.
