finally found the key to mending the things i say i'm going to mend: putting them next to the chair where i do the crafting and exist 97% of the time instead of shoving them in a bag in the back of my closet

#good news: all my leggings are back in rotation #bad news: i may've fucked up my wrist yesterday by hand sewing for three hours straight #mary emma talks

three weeks left in the semester which on the one hand: great! i want to be free! and on the other hand there's so much work to be done in just three weeks i'm scared

#mary emma talks #thinking about the spring cleaning and reorganization that will happen when i'm done though #i'm opening up all the windows i'm lighting the good candles i'm getting a cherry limeade from sonic and i am fixing everything

#wheel of time #mary emma talks #i read so many things but for years. Years i have said i dont read fantasy or long series #man plans g-d laughs etc etc

oh i see we've reached my least favorite thing in the world: woman gets pregnant and immediately loses all bodily autonomy as everyone around her starts making decisions about what she should be doing to keep "the baby" healthy

it's realistic in a way so i dont begrudge it as a trope but it does make me want to eat glass

anyone doing academic/literary analysis of the current touring production of company or do i just have to listen to the soundtrack on spotify and think about seeing the musical months ago

#mary emma talks #company the musical #hey. what are we saying and feeling about being an unmarried woman #because i've never had a musical make me feel so strongly yet be completely unable to articulate what i am feeling at all #it's about societal pressure to be married its about desperately wanting to be married its about not wanting to be married at all #it's about you have to want to mary somebody not just some body #it's about marry me a Little

this quote has imprinted on my brain in the best way. nothing has made me stop and be aware of the weather and the seasons in early spring like having this quote come to mind every march day that matches it and just stopping to let "summer in the light, and winter in the shade" echo for a minute

#oh my god i am a fake fan #i want to apologize first and foremost to the kids at my library who are all constantly reading these books

[backlogbooks]

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. How much do you guys use the library??? In this poll I’m including the the use of stuff like Kanopy, Overdrive, and Libby etc. to count as utilizing your library. I’m forgetting a bunch of services and apps, but basically if you use ANY service you need a library card for, how often do you do that?

#at least once a day but to be fair i uh work at the library so #but i'm not counting just going to work only actually using library services!

three times. still a win!

pretty sure i've finished my taxes and can file them tonight, and i only cried twice in the process so that's a win

#mary emma talks #wish every person in the world hadnt treated me like a dork for reporting my petsitting income but. whatever. #i can follow the rules if i want to.

i feel physically ill trying to fill out my taxes, that's normal right

#it is i have an anxiety disorder #but it sucks ! #mary emma talks

[backlogbooks]

wait ok this is actually one that has caused some contention before when I've talked to people about it. reblog and tag whether or not you check the weather prediction every day before going out

#i will occasionally look to see what temperature it is right now before i step out the door
