I don’t have a bookmark problem. You have a bookmark problem.

Also, it’s not a problem until I run out of space, and I can cram all of these into that mug with room to spare.

The former writing instructor in me is agog that they included “Prisencolinensinainciusol” in the Olympic opening ceremonies. It’s supposed to be what English sounds like to someone who didn’t speak it. I used to show it all the time.

My partner and I have a day to sightsee in Baltimore. What are the best bookish activities? Double points for can’t miss bookstores. Or the best Poe tours. #reading #books #bookish #booktravel #baltimore #booksky 📚💙

Oh hey - this thing exists. Post election I’ve been disconnecting from social media, for the betterment of my mental health. But I may try engaging here more and see how that goes. I mean - not all of humanity is shit. Right? … Right??

It’s like my heart was pulled out of my body and wrapped up in fur. ❤️ This girl hasn’t felt good lately but she has discovered that getting progressively closer to me helps. I hate not knowing what is wrong and I’m happy to comfort her anyway I can. 🐶

How’s everyone else managing their existential dread and impending sense of doom? I’m sinking countless hours into following YouTube Procreate tutorials. It’s been a lot of fun and the tutorials make me look like I know what I’m doing.
