I know right?! I did turn off the radio so that's a start. I don't want to know but I don't want to be uneducated about what's happening. It's a fine line between knowledge and nausea.

I just said I should just listen to Marc Maron and Josh Johnson pretty much exclusively. I need to laugh. But I won't. I have NPR discussing eliminating the Dept of Ed. on as we speak and a pit in my stomach.

Aside from the billionaires and those they are paying off (Congress) who is against taxing the rich? I mean the really rich, not "above 250k" or something that really isn't rich in places like the bay area. Elon would really be struggling if he had $200 billion instead of $400 billion, right? Ugh.🤦

Your Daily Affirmation:

I am immune to becoming a dick weed. Thoughtless, stupid, and inconsiderate behavior by people in power does not infect me. I adhere to my standards of kindness, consideration, and thoughtfulness, allowing the hateful and the stupid to just fuck all the way off. #Waffles

#nokingonpresidentsday

Can't listen to the news today. It's too much. So I turned on @marcmaron.bsky.social WTF podcast instead and found out he's going to be in Santa Barbara when we're down for volleyball on the night between the two games so that's a lovely light on this dark day. #lookingforlight

No

No thank you.

Your Daily Affirmation:

On this day when the Hellmouth has opened and unlimited fuckery is released into the world, I remain detached and cheerful, attentive only to those people close to me (and waffles) but willing to let everything that doesn't affect me directly fuck all the way off.

Definitely words to love by! (Autocorrect said love instead of live and I'm not changing it)

I'm in Japan and it's been so hot and so humid .. But I'm in Japan which is awesome so I'm just melting while seeing as much as I can.

Anyone have the presale code for Patton Oswalt in SF? Haven't gotten an email. @pattonoswalt.bsky.social

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Today's Santa Cruz Sentinel made me do a doubletake.

Or, you know, lay my husband off a year ago. But that was better for us in the end.

We had to wait for Ben to get home for winter break so we could all go together. Seeing it this week, so excited.

The first thing I thought was, Mike probably knows!!

I got a Remarkable for Ben for UC and he loved it so I got myself one. It's keeping me far more organized than my 50 notebooks I used for client meetings but it's definitely not a fountain pen on real paper. It doesn't translate my handwriting to text accurately though, too sloppy.

Wait what? Did you check my calendar first to make sure I didn't have conflicts? 😊

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com Georgie porgie pudding pie, where do we go when we die? 😂

Pony sushi!! 😂😂

Worked my last in-store event of the year at Bookshop Santa Cruz last night. I'm working one off -site event with Temple Grandin in a couple of weeks then I'm not back there until Jan 23. Hope I don't forget everything 😂

Finally picked up a copy of @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com 's lovely new poem with the gorgeous Oliver Jeffers cover. Amazing how long it took me to buy it when I work at Bookshop Santa Cruz!
I snuck off to the register to pay for it during last night's event. 🤫

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com regularly garnishes my wages.

I'm working as an author events host at Bookshop Santa Cruz now and the other night I was cruising by the shelves of orders and holds as my coworker was putting your Beowulf on the shelf for someone. ❤️❤️
Hope to have you in-store sometime!

Alright, saw a post on Tumblr from @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and realized I never set up an account here so here I am. Whee! 🤷
