Here’s my #WeeklyTop5! A day early. ☺️🥰

If you have a Christmas Playlist, through these in the rotation. What are your favorite Christmas songs that maybe don’t get as much air time?

I’m finally getting around to reading this, and am SUPER excited about it. It was featured a lot in the #TheWriteWomen challenge.

Book: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Author: Olga Tokarczuk

#BookSky 💙📚
A hand holding the book “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead” by Olga Tokarczuk, in front of the window. The book cover has blue and black stripes, with some pink on the stripes. The stripes look like trees in a forest. There is a red house in the background. There are two little Christmas tree decorations on the window. There are two cars in the driveway, and snow on the ground.

Almost time for my annual joke!!! I’m so excited!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! 🍁🦃🍽
Screenshot of a post from several years ago when we were on Twitter. It was during that time when all accounts that had jokes had to have “parody” behind their names. 😂 The text on the screenshot says, “My favorite joke at Thanksgiving is - once all the food is on the table and everyone’s ready to eat, I look at my wife and earnestly say, ‘We did it.’”

I got out of the habit of reading magazines bc of the social pressure of writers reading what's trendy/popular or frankly expected of you.

This year, I've dedicated myself back to reading magazines and I'm truly having the time of my life.

I should be raking, but I’ve never read Ken Follett before. And it’s actually pretty warm. Who knows how many porch-reading days are left?

…Also: it’s a book club book that I’m late on. 😬

Lessons in Chemistry
Bonnie Garmus
The book of lessons and chemistry shows the outline of a woman’s face with glasses, and a pencil holding her hair in a bun. It’s an orange book cover. In the background, a black cat sits on a white couch, looking out at orange fall leaves. A lamp is on on a table.

@celestinadratz.bsky.social gave the green light for “burnout” rather than “burning” as it’s the closest quote I have.

A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “ I still hope your name don’t appear in some obituary. I know it’s so unclear when you’ve begged so long on bruised knees… couldn’t feel… couldn’t convince myself I was real. … cause it’s not the way that you…. … it’s what they want to see…” ~Hoping You’re Doing Okay ~Greg Mendez A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “We seem to be bored with thinking itself - we want to instantly know. And knowing is, of course, the sensation of thinking.” ~Maria Popova To the side of the whiteboard, there is a painting of a man with a mustache wearing a bowler derby. A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “Is everyone really crazy but me?” ~Shirley Jackson ~ The Lottery and Other Stories ~ Colloquy The whiteboard is hung on a cinderblock wall painted cream. In front is a man whose picture was taken with a double exposure. There are two faces both of him. He is bald. Behind is a painting of a man in a bowler derby. A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “ between stimulus and response. There is a space. In that space is a power to choose our response.

Buy this one.

5/5: We are given gifts, but we have to work with them. Those who are familiar with the work of J.E. Misz understand that the talent is there. And we know that talent alone is not enough: dedication....

Loved the episode!!!

I did think it was funny:

Mojo: Don’t you dare EVER apologize for ska. …Also, sorry about the Mojo & OL album. And I only like 15% of our catalog. 😂😂😂

But it was a great episode. And the prof at the end had no idea. 😂 Totally worth it.

A bed knobs and broomsticks movie cover shows five people flying through the sky in a bed, with a moon in the background. There’s a bunch of weird stuff on the cover, too. Like a cartoon lion, a rhinoceros dressed in maybe a tutu? Some sea creatures that are forming a band. Stuff like that.

And how many do you STILL have memorized?
bleary.off-the-records.com bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · Oct 13
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
