Not really sure what to say about the state of things so here’s a picture of the happiest dog in the world.

I feel attacked

I’m not even mad you absolute weirdo, it’s kind of funny. Do you not know everyone sees you?

I find it soooo strange when someone you see every day in your neighborhood when you’re walking your dogs is rude to you in your local bakkal/bodega.

Finishing up the year with this gem. Was on so many end of year “best of” lists and I can see why.

Now that @fenerbahcesk.bsky.social is here I may finally leave that other place (I can hear the stadium from my flat and need a way to find out what all the shouting is about!)

Woke to dark clouds and got the dog out before the storm hit then made a perfect cup of coffee. A+ Saturdaying.

A thing about me is that I read so much when I was young that I have huge holes in my experience of pop culture. I finally watched the Godfather trilogy during the pandemic (I know). Tonight I watched The Notebook. Just randomly filling in the blanks…

Pretty sure this soup is going to perfume my home and myself this winter. Can’t wait to try it!

I aspire to look as relaxed and confident as my tiny dog.

I politely (passive aggressive only in my heart) asked a lady to clean up her dog’s poo. Doing my civic duty to battle those making dog owners look bad. Please clap.

Cute white dog looking at the camera, with head resting on colorful pink and blue pillows

Realizing I have been remiss by not sharing my pillow-loving goofball here

Give me a chonky novel any day! I want to get lost in that story and feel disoriented when I emerge.

Part of the pleasure (?) of living on the other side of the world is waking up to see the nonsense that has occurred as you slept.

Still trying to figure out why the last poo bags I bought for my dog are rose scented. Not necessary before use and just what do they think I’m doing with them after?

What, it’s not normal to keep pulling the same one out with joy on every slightly chilly day?

Literally realized I said it 30 minutes ago in a meeting. The transformation is complete. I have also become very used to room temperature water and can’t drink it when I’m ill.

OMG it happened to me so slowly I didn’t realize it until you said it

I keep reading “orcas” as “orcs” and it has made my scrolling experience considerably more interesting

I would like to live, just for a year,
in precedented times. Thank you.

Did I finally sign up for Spotify premium because of Cowboy Carter? Yes, yes, I did.

writers should get together and have fancy blank notebook swaps where we can refresh/shuffle up our fancy blank notebook supply without spending any more money on yet more fancy blank notebooks

I bought a men’s spring jacket and the inside pocket has changed my life. Never buying a woman’s coat again.

Procrastination win! My television hasn't worked for MONTHS but I just didn't have it in me to deal with the cable company or TV repair or WHATEVER. So I've been watching Netflix on my laptop. Today I turned on the TV and magically, it works!

What NO

I can't help feeling some kind of way about all the email reminders of application deadlines from programs that rejected me

I think about this every day.

Birdy or Little Bird. She was a dog. No idea why.

Never even made it to my TBR pile. Opened it to take a look at the first page to understand where it fit in my moody reading life and never stopped til I reached the end. Loved it @rfkuang.bsky.social !

Writers retreat rejections make us stronger, right? RIGHT?
