Two lushes at a bar

My husband is not a book reader, but today he was complaining that he needed a nail gun for a small project but they're really expensive, and I got to tell him that we could borrow one from the @bklynlibrary.bsky.social and now he is VERY excited. Libraries are amazing, and not just for books!

Congrats!

Important moment in childhood trauma for me

I don't write in your age range sadly, but I'm always pleased to see another Elissa in the wild!

Congrats!

Dang, this sucks. I've donated, and hope you and your family are able to stay safe and sane during this!

My license picture is horrifying

Me too! In August! With no air conditioning!

This one hurts

It's so horrible. My friends have either evacuated or are just outside the evacuation zone, but who knows what will happen.

But martinis?? 🤢

Nooooooooooooo

I have a great romcom script if anyone wants to offer on it 😎
