I am very exhausted. Not sleepy. Not fatigued. Exhausted.

I’m just grumping it out right now so if you’re going to be interacting with me, know that. It’s not you, it’s that I’m a grump at present.

Currently reading: The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter 📚

Time for a Gothic Charm School re-read. 📚

Yesterday’s #1000WordsOfSummer reading: many stories in Angela Carter’s THE BLOODY CHAMBER. So good. 📚

Google Keep is my notetaking app of choice, which makes me a bit of a rarity, but if you use it and would like it to be more helpful or if you’re curious about what it can do, this Computer World article is a huge help.

If you’re looking for a writing community, check out Jami Attenberg’s #1000WordsOfSummer. I’m prioritizing reading. Today: Kelly Link’s Intro to The Bloody Chamber, the first essay in remembered rapture, and the preface to Slouching towards Bethlehem.

Finished reading: War for the Oaks: A Novel by Emma Bull 📚

Rock music + fey = delightful.

Today’s outfit: LGBTQ Center of Durham Rainbow Bull Shirt, popsicle shorts from Torrid.
