So I’m on Bluesky. (If you’re seeing this on Bluesky, it’s thanks to Micro.blog cross-posting!) If they ever actually federate, I’ll follow folks on micro.blog. For now, I’ll just be checking in there whenever I remember to, which will probably be infrequently.
🔖📚 Read IN A WAVE OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY RETELLINGS, WHERE ARE THE GREEK WRITERS? by Lyndsie Manusos (Book Riot).
Lots of exciting recommendations in here.
🔖🍿 Read Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is a Fascinating, Spectacular Philosophical Experiment by Olivia Rutigliano (Literary Hub).
Well, I was already interested in seeing Barbie, but now that I know it’s about existential crises, I really want to see Barbie.
I love how the Web works. I post that I want to read Jillian Hess’s book, How Romantics and Victorians Organized Information. Anna Havron reads it and blogs about personal information management. Tracy Durnell reads that post and writes about the value of taking notes. And then I read that and find a choice quote like this:
Like leisure need not be earned, neither must learning be driven by purpose or need.
I should really stick with my watch-mostly-Star-Trek plan. 🖖🏻
Was too busy actually celebrating my 14th wedding anniversary yesterday to blog about it. A thoroughly Durham date: browsing & picking up orders at The Regulator and Hometown Apparel, breakfast anytime at Elmo’s, and dessert at Locopops.

Finished reading: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston 📚
Listened to the audiobook. Super adorable. Super hot. Super made me teary with it’s AU 2016 election that a woman won. Highly recommend.
Finished reading: Nimona by ND Stevenson 📚
Weird I waited so long to read it. A lot going on here and I’m always delighted by the way ND Stevenson’s art reminds me of Quentin Blake’s.
