Thanks for the rec @jenlovesjt47 - what fun! 🤩
We do not care that Momma made said woman "quiver." We do care that we missed it, though. We would have loved to watch. ✊?✊?

I keep pulling this card. 😅

pickLove, love, love. 🥰🥰🥰 This is such a heart-warming coming of age and coming out story. The characters and their relationships are so well written. They're imperfect, but they're growing. I learned a lot about aromanticism and asexuality. And I loved the emphasis on types of love that aren't romantic love. Just a lovely read.

I took zero pictures this week, so please enjoy this photo of my familiar, Johan. 😹
🩵 I'm grateful to a few co-workers who make me laugh every damn day.
🩵 I'm grateful for all you wonderful Littens for your solidarity and kindness.
🩵 I'm grateful for supportive friends who don't need to create drama
🩵 I'm grateful for MisterInBlue, who gets me in a way no one else does.
🩵 I'm grateful to myself for my strength. I've come a long way.
bailedMy trauma was different, as were some details, but this book is my junior year of high school. I made it to this scene, which triggered a very vivid memory of me and my mom. Then, I found myself crying intermittently until I went to bed.
The writing is so authentic. I wish I could finish, but I can't revisit that time in my life right now. Bailed at 35%.
All that said, had I read this book back then, it would have helped me unlock so much.
😬😬😬
(Also, since it's #wdncw: We do not care that we highlighted almost the entirety of today's chapter.)

The US might be a giant dumpster fire at the moment, but at work, things are actually going quite well. I feel like a lot of effort I've put in has been recognized and rewarded. So there's that, at least! #awinisawin

Silence is not kindness. Neutrality is not neutral. And I'm fed up.

? The Golden Girls (Need I say more? ? )
? John Cusack movies while snuggling with MisterInBlue. Some couples have "their song." We have John Cusack movies. ?

@jenlovesjt47 - I'm on season 3, episode 3. Had to share a rough haiku because the change in dynamic between these two is hilarious! 🤣

Breathtaking language.

Reading and eating take out in bed because it's hot and the bedroom has the air conditioner.

I'm ineligible to give blood, but I absolutely would if I could. Our local blood bank is owned by our for-profit hospital, so I refuse to donate money to them. (But would donate blood, since it's the exclusive provider to our area.)
Instead, I made a donation to the Blood Bank of Alaska in honor of @TieDyeDude for arranging this drive. What a fantastic idea.

🩵 South Park is serving the level of petty I need in my life right now. 🤣
🩵 Our air quality is improving!
🩵 I got some random inspiration for a new craftivism project. I'm excited to start working on it this weekend!
🩵 The #haikuhive and the #antifabookclub are keeping me sane. 😘
🩵 Book hauls (I'll share pics this weekend).

Work texts began this morning while I was still in the shower, so it's a late pull today. But it's hilarious that I got this card when I'm just starting to catch up on the news. 🙃😵💫🫠

Dear Canadians,
I'm sorry our U.S. representatives are complete a$$hats. We don't all agree with them. I can't even imagine how bad the smoke is for y'all. But your response to this nonsense is freaking epic.
Love, lil1inblue

I enjoyed watching the neighbor's dog playing this morning. Missed my photo opportunity, so this is a web photo.

This was hard to narrow down! Here's some quotations that stuck with me over the years.
? I mean, what a fan-forking-tastic line. Just epic! ?
? This one describes MisterInBlue perfectly. I just love it. ?
✒️ This whole poem lives rent-free in my head. I adore the line "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." ???
Honorable mention:
? "Oh! Fuck wank bugger shitting arse head and hole!" From Love Actually. My favorite swear. ?
We do not care that we are a constant contradiction. 🤣🤣🤣
#wdncw ##wedonotcarewednesday @dabbe
A local business owner called the local TV station to ask them to stop reporting on the wildfire haze and smoke because it's hurting tourism. Yes, he is a supporter of the #fluorescentfascist. This is how entitled they feel. IT'S THE FORKING WEATHER FORECAST!!!
#wdncw #wedonotcarewednesday @dabbe
There was the weirdest noise coming from a nearby business during my insomniac porch time last night. I still don't know what it was.

I needed this reminder to maintain the self-nuturing I did on vacation while I'm back at work.
