Happy midweek, ducks.

I have an all-day off-site meeting today (it's already been an adventure) and I hope you find yourselves meeting with good things and good people, that you find some time for yourself today, and that there's at least one moment of delight.

Let's do this 💪🏻

Oh yes, Chief definitely was spoiling his Tian (and you know he got the school kids involved as well on his plans 🙂 Green Giant can do romance 🥰) and Dean gets all of his treats of all kinds 😉😉🤭

I posted, I think, around midday,so totally easy to miss, but it's a good way to end your evening on a high note 🙂 and it's a good twosome sharing a birthday ❤️

And one of the beautiful things about time zones is it makes birthdays able to be celebrated longer and longer 🙂

Is true. I hope that tomorrow is a better day for both of us ❤️🫂

Today, this Tuesday, definitely needed a warning label of sustained, more-ruan-middling annoyance and fukery

I'm on my way home and it was a bit of a trying day at times, but I have a new plant and am turning 🙄 into ~~vibes~~

I hope that today has treated you kindly and tomorrow is full of sparkles and bubbles of delight. I hope you have something that delights you and treat yourself 🫶🏻

Mwah
🐧

Where to even begin, he is such a treasure!

I am certain Pharm and Phupha are providing all the kisses (and more 🤭) in celebration across all the timezones (is that a euphemism? Maybe lol)

Happy birthday to A+ snugglers -- P'Dean and Tian

/oh/.....

(And we all know Dean is being well-fed all day *ahem* by his beloved Pharm 😉😌)

He's so cute 🥰🥰🥰

Ooh those are pretty!!

I'm just waiting for my copy to arrive!!

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

Yay!

Sitting at the bar of my local restaurant, getting their Monday special and chatting with the staff and other regulars (and sometimes new people), bringing a book or my knitting (tonight's choice) means so much to me and the feeling of community and belonging 🫶🏻

Oooh nice! My friend and I are finishing it up in the next couple of weeks and I'm glad it could get more eyes

I ended up having a pretty decent Monday and now going out for my Monday night dinner which I am looking forward to! I hope you had a good Monday

Have a good Monday, ducks.

I hope that this is the start of a good week for you, that there are good things and people to be found, and you have an opportunity to do things that make you feel like a favorite you.

Whatever you do, you've got this

Rooting for you!

Happy Monday Panda!

sometimes i think about how tjc & jsj apparently just looked at each other one day and decided to turn an innocent cop drama into a BL and make it everyone else's problem

jianci: look i'm literally gay and you're up for anything
jia-ge: you're goddamn right i am LET'S FUCKING GO

When I still had roommates we would rewatch that one on a pretty consistent basis as a pick me up when needed
