Toxic masculinity is quite literally toxic ☣️

I don’t have a TikTok account, but I might need to create one just so I can follow this guy! 🥰😆

This made my day 🍎 🧚‍♀️ 🦵

Ugh, what a pain!

Whenever anyone does a house project, I always recommend they watch “The Money Pit” 💸💸💸

Whenever you post, I am reminded to be so very grateful both you and Flower are now living somewhere safe 🩷

Oooooh! Big burst of thunder ⚡️just now! So rare in this part of CA! 😲

We need Adam Shiff and Alex Pedilla and The Gavinor to follow suit!

Bad days don’t last forever.

Hope you are sleeping now and wake up feeling better 🫶

Anyone have to adjust their position to ensure an oncoming sneeze doesn’t throw out their back?

Just me?

I should put Island of the Blue Dolphins in my list! I can’t remember if I actually ever read that as a kid 🤔

Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great Sheila Tubman sometimes wonders who she really the outgoing, witty, and capable Sheila the Great, or the secret Sheila, who's afraid of the dark, spiders, swimming, and dogs.W…

A while ago I reread all of the Beverly Cleary books. Despite being dated, they held up. So then I decided to try the Superfudge series by Judy Blum. This book hasn’t aged well. Sheila is deeply unlikable and the fat-shaming is a deal-breaker. 2/5⭐️

Down and Out in Paris and London This unusual fictional memoir - in good part autobiographical - narrates without self-pity and often with humor the adventures of a penniless British writer among the down-and…

Depicts Orwell’s time as a dishwasher in Paris and traveling among tramps in London. How anyone survives such abject poverty is astounding.

Also, you will never want to eat at a restaurant ever again 🤢

Eddie, do Mr & Mrs Swan 🦢 have cygnets this spring?

Give my love to Rodrigo and Stu ❤️

And to Joe & Jake, of course ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been thinking about this. Part of ishiguro’s style is that you don’t really know what’s going on at first and he slowly reveals it. So it must be really hard to write a synopsis without spoilers.

you too, Rebecca! Let’s make this happen!

Hey @senmcnerney.bsky.social, @governor.ca.gov

Searching “plunderwear” gets older hits, but this is the first reference I found from someone in the Plundercat community. Wendy, were you quoting Flash? @napperfamily.bsky.social

L O V E !!! 😍

I’ve only read this one and Never Let Me Go. Both are speculative fiction that explore ethical conundrums. I liked Klara a bit better, but both are good.

Klara and the Sun Klara and the Sun, the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observ…

I started this in late October 2024, but had to set it aside after the election. I was feeling too fragile. I knew the question wasn’t if, but how, my heart would break. Ishiguro is a master. 5/5⭐️
