Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
In the past few days, I've scarfed down two mini cheesecakes and a pint of cheesecake ice cream. Winter is coming and I must prepare. Speaking of delicious baked goods, I found this baking-themed tag on Ace Reader, a gem of a blog if there ever was one. It was created by the unmatched Kay… Continue reading The Bookish Baking Tag
It's the final day of voting for Fat Bear Week and high time I shared my reading stats for last month. September was decent (better than August, anyway.) I got to see both of my brothers and some other family members. I spent an entire weekend with a pack of dogs and spent a ton… Continue reading September Wrap-up: I think I’m cured of brain worms
It's spooky season now. This year, I'm leaning in EXTRA hard to the pumpkins, black cats, and skeletons. (The election is incoming. Let me have this joy.) I crafted this overly ambitious October TBR that I almost certainly won't finish, BUT...what if I did? Wouldn't that be sooo spoooky? Seriously, there are dozens of books… Continue reading October TBR: Stretch Goal City
I found another folklore book tag, this one created by Star is All Booked Up. I tried to diversify my answers - not sure I succeeded! the 1 a book you grew out of The Matched series by Ally Condie was, for me, Baby's First Dystopian Sci-Fi. I loved the world, the premise, everything about… Continue reading foklore book tag
My very first therapist once asked about my sexuality. I told her I was queerer than most people but still considered myself more-or-less straight. Yes, I thought women were pretty in a strictly heterosexual way. Romantically and sexually, though, I only liked dudes. At the time, I meant it. * At fourteen, I jammed myself… Continue reading Writing from the Closet
WHY HELLO. DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN INCREDIBLY BAD TIME DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST? I think, in truth, August was probably a "normal" quarantine month. "Normal" during a global pandemic, though, is still PRETTY BAD. In August, I was rejected for my dream internship and hit a wall after two months on OkCupid. MY… Continue reading August Wrap-Up: The dog days are NOT over

RULES Link to the original creator: Ilsa @ A Whisper Of InkTag at least 3 people.Declare the rules and list of prompts… Continue reading folklore book tag: round one
Last month, Halsey released a live version of Badlands! I listened to it twice today! It's great! Even better: to commemorate the live album, Alison @ antari reads created the Badlands book tag! In my last post, I told you that all I want to do is post book tags and talk about music, so… Continue reading badlands book tag
Back at it with book tags because this is where my brain is at. This tag, based on Halsey's most recent album, was created by BookTuber Fadwa, AKA Word Wonders. I was inspired to do it by Theresa at areadingelf (creator of the Sapphic Book Tag) and by Halsey herself, who has been advocating for Black… Continue reading Manic Book Tag
Hello, it's August now and I'm hopped up on jitters. Let's wrap up July, shall we? Political Updates Portland is on their 65th day of protests. Protestors spent the month of July being battered by federal agents, because fuck free speech, am I right? Last week, arrested protestors were banned from attending more protests… Continue reading July Wrap-up
