We blame the male ego for this 100 men vs. a gorilla thing but I blame Tarzan. Do you remember when Tarzan put Kerchak in a headlock? Indoctrinated a whole generation into thinking humans stood a chance against a Silverback.

#CosmereYear continues - just finished Hero of Ages like three minutes ago and I am a mess. Should not have finished it mid work day, and now I must live with the consequences.
Someone please direct me to the best reading order for the next book! #BookSky📚

“How would you feel if I tapped you on the shoulder? Would you feel like I betrayed you, Tom?”
“Yes”
“Doesn’t feel so nice, does it?”
That one interaction was worth dealing with Sandoval on #TraitorsS3 but please let him get murdered first
“Yes”

Instead of committing to listening to new music this year I’m committing to listening to the same music I’ve listened to since 2013. Why kid myself, ya know?

The difference between Threads and Bluesky is that here I feel I can admit that I took my toddler to daycare today even though I have the day off without being told I shouldn’t have had kids if I was just going to let strangers raise them. 🙃

And they’re genuinely good books. This was such a lovely surprise and we get so excited every month to read our new book!

This country just reelected Donald Trump - It really shouldn’t be surprising to see people defend Justin Baldoni even after Blake has come through with receipts. But it is very sad. Blake isn’t faultless, but at worst she’s an annoying, spoiled Hollywood elite. She experienced bad onset behavior,

No one got the memo that we only *pretend* to do our jobs between holidays. If you do your job I have to do my job and that’s not fair

I can only keep up with new movies, tv, music, or books any given year. 2024 was the year of listening to new albums when they dropped and otherwise watching repeat reality tv and reading books that came out in 2007.

You guys we start gaining daylight today (I thought it didn’t start going up until winter solstice). I could cry. The 4:27pm sunsets are truly so depressing.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them
