I did the math on my Storygraph goals, and I think I'm going to try to catch up for this year. I can absolutely read 38 400-pg books before the end of the year.
Right?

The sun is broken today, and won't stop fluctuating my lighting. This is killing my productivity.

*marks "Starts the Hunger Games" off of my Bingo card*
President Donald Trump's announcement of the Patriot Games, a sporting event to celebrate 250 years of America, has sparked debate. Critics have likened the idea to The Hunger Games series, noting that in both, one boy and one girl are chosen to represent their region. https://cnn.it/4j2tE4G

This is fucked up, but not surprised considering the limitations to acquiring disability here.
A federal judge nominee said disabled people shouldn’t be wed. In fact, many can’t.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."
A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

I feel like this is the first time an active First Lady has done a biopic... I mean, autobiographical media. Am I correct in this, or am I forgetting someone?
Melania Trump is behind "Melania," a movie that she has said will offer a better idea of what it was like for the first lady to move into the White House for a second time. In the trailer, she tells Americans, who have at times been mystified by her actions, exactly how she wants to be seen.

I decided one goal for next year is a daily sketch. It will be any random thing that I see that day instead of things I know I'm good at. I figured it would be a good exercise to learn what I need to practice drawing.
Today, I learned that the first thing on that list is: cars.

Just realized we have 2 years until the anniversary we were planning to do a vow renewal. Now, I am debating starting a Shetland or Estonian lace shawl, so I can actually have time to work on it before then.
