State of the Laura update (hand). September surgery went well. I spent 6 weeks in casts and broke free last week. Physical therapy starts soon. Not to brag or anything, but this morning I put on a long sleeve shirt and my fingers stayed straight & didn’t get caught in the fabric. #lupus #handsurgery

State of the Laura update (physical). This is what my right hand looks like. Thanks lupus! (I mask a lot to make this less obvious.) On Monday, I’m having surgery to set my fingers back in the correct position.
No, I don’t get claws, razor-fingernails, bionics, or to keep my knuckle bones. I asked.

I wish this was a full “adult-length” novel. The writing is solid and the world-building and characters so interesting that I wanted a lot more of them. #cheriedimaline #themarrowthieves #summerreading #readingcatchup

Got to see the fantastic Jack Kirby exhibit at the #skirballculturalcenter in LA last week. #jackkirby #costumecollege2025 Highly recommended.

I have a favorite car guy reel where he explains to other car guys that buying a modern $500k sports car will not get him a fraction of the female attention that spending about $30k on a ‘67 Chevy Impala would.

Spent part of this long weekend catching up on #wonderwoman courtesy of the @gameraspinning.bsky.social gifting library. This storyline has been - ooof - a bit too relatable. Hurts a little. #readingcomics #lfk

Went to a Gatsby party last night. Cosplayed as Crowley. Seemed like a good place for a demon. Also, of course, there were terrified Muppet faces .

Up next from the @gameraspinning.bsky.social gifting library: #thepowerfantasy by Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard, where ridiculously super-powered individuals explore the difference between being a good person and an ethical one. It’s interesting and I’m greatly enjoying the story.

All of the reviews would like you to know that this is a very fairy-tale gothic book. They are not wrong. It’s full of magic, death, & mer-folk. And some other monsters besides. Something to make you feel the salt in your blood. #allthemurmuringbones #agslatter #lfk #lawrencepubliclibrary
