Oof, yes. I have had very similar conversations with many of the less stable public library patrons who come to us for help.

A few of the 30+ cats we’re scrambling to care for when someone lost housing.
We’re working with Homeward Bound and Central Vermont Humane Society to find spots. They (and many more) should be ready for adoption soon.
Vermont — go adopt a cat!

Me holding a copy of The Reformatory by Tananarive Due: The cover shows an ominous shack.

26th read of 25:
The Reformatory by @tananarivedue.bsky.social
One of the easiest 5-stars I’ve given. Systemic racism, abuse, ghosts and a very brave boy and his sister collide in this fantastic read

Yellow daffodils a few days away from blooming

White and pale purple crocuses at the base of a lichen-covered tree.

A few bright spots in the garden finally. #gardening #northeastgardens

Livin on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. I think because I just don't want to relive 6th grade again.

Planted some peas (and also sweet pea flowers) because my great-grandfather always said to plant them on Good Friday and it could be Good Friday if Easter was earlier this year. I love fresh peas from the garden. #gardening

Tulip if those leaves are as thick as they look. If you have deer, you won't need to worry about it for long. 😄

He just wants to make sure it's fresh! Also it's important he sees you do it because it's his job to monitor your actions and make sure you perform them at the proper time and in the proper way.

Front yard with heavy dusting of snow on the grass and garden area with evergreen bush but no flowers yet.

I followed a bunch of gardeners here and am hoping to post spring flower pics like they are, but so far this is all I got.

They looked like photos when I first saw them!

I don't think it's about money. They probably need both parents to approve a medical decision or something and he won't respond

I loved this book

that about sums it up.

If your writing didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be going after our books and our stories and desperately trying to rewrite them and/or destroy them.

Language is power.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

The Main Line

I feel like we need to re-institute Pandemic Rules. Like, we're in a trade war with fucking Canada, of course you can have a Snickers ice cream bar for breakfast and chug wine from a mug during zoom meetings. The rules are there are no more rules. Just pajama bottom it to the weekend. Anything goes.

So last year we bought a seasonal camp that needs a ton of work (think mold) & it's been pretty overwhelming, tbh. BUT yesterday I realized it means my whole family can switch our voter registration to the camp address & vote against whatever Republican tries to replace Stefanik.

Yeah I just didn't see it the first time because I didn't scroll down after adding the pics

Ah, I see it. It requires scrolling 😁

How? I am so new here

Guess my first post should be my family
