I just saw someone online ask for book recs set in Upstate New York and another person online replied The Great Gadsby [sic] which…is just…a spectacular misunderstanding of The Great Gatsby, New York, and Upstate.

My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders.

Insane props to anyone who can wear a jean jumper and look hip and cool instead of like an extremely religious 90s homeschool mom

Thanks for your email! Unfortunately, I have filled my pockets with stones and am making my way to the sea.

@theheatherhogan Geezle Moses. Folks like him are what made the second and third waves of COVID so brutal for nurses.

There are days when I think to myself, With exactly the same skill set I could’ve been a vet tech. *sigh*

Accidentally stayed up until 3am finishing a book again. Oops. That hasn’t happened for a hot second; I’m old. Good thing I’m off tomorrow!
