Mine was walking the along the cliffside of Shetland in 2018

Show me a picture of a purely happy moment in your life, but not one from a big moment (no weddings, births etc)

Just a moment of bliss

I guess???

Honestly if they called it this, acknowledging the morbidity, I wouldn’t mind so much

A local library is hosting a history & crafting program with a presentation about a woman who was murdered in the 20s in an area called the Coffey Woods….

The craft is a Valentines themed coffee craft

For a woman who was MURDERED and DISMEMBERED by her BIGAMIST HUSBAND

✨Happy New Year✨

how it feels to ring in 2025

Jimmy Carter refusing to enter 2025 should have us all terrified

Shout out to all my fellow Religious Trauma folks suffering through a family Christmas Eve service today, I see you

name a movie with better casting

I’ll wait

And yes, somehow we managed to wear almost identical sweaters in pictures taken 6 years a part 🤣

2024 ➡️ 2018

28 years ago my librarian gave a homeless child a library home
10 years ago I became a librarian
6 years ago we met again on This American Life
3 years ago my book came out

This year my dear librarian retires, so we met up at the library where it all began one last time💛

lol well adulthood is doing things (a job) for rewards (money so I can live) so honestly you are preparing him well

her *handing me a cup of tea*: listen, we think you've been reading too much Agatha Christie. you're getting a bit paranoid

me *pouring the tea onto the floor*: what makes you say that

trying to enjoy the holidays while knowing we’re all going to hell in a handbasket come January

dogs who wish they were pillows is my entire personality

weekly reminder that I have cute dogs

I’m not like the other BASIC pop girlies, my top song isn’t Taylor Swift

… it’s an instrumental cover of a Taylor Swift song from the Bridgerton soundtrack

TOTALLY DIFFERENT

Gentle taunting is my love language

to be perfectly honest all I want for Christmas is a massage so I can not be in pain for approximately 40 minutes but also then it just immediately returns so is it even worth asking for?

Meeeeee

I spent way too much money on a Folkmore coat to wear to Ears Tour in Toronto and then didn’t wear it so I just had to go to a Christmas Tree Farm to make it worth the purchase

I love winter because the trees are bare and I can sneak better looks at houses that are normally hidden by leaves.

Stick Season is a Thanksgiving song

I can’t believe I’m expected to SHOW UP at my JOB and WORK today, on a non-holiday Tuesday in November

My toddlers wanna do everything ALL BY THEMSELVES and I truly cannot relate because, at this point, my ideal state is doing as little as possible for myself

🎶Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned/Everything you lose is a step you take/So make the friendship bracelets/take the moment and taste it/you’ve got no reason to be afraid🎶

Eras Tour Toronto! I’ve never danced so wildly or smiled so broadly, best 3 hours of my life 🇨🇦
