So our library board of trustees just voted on their new strategic plan. They ignored community input, library staff input, and paid makers-of-plans and decided they couldn't include the controversial word "equitable". I hate this timeline.
I am reading All of Us Murderers by @kjcharleswriter.com and what a delight it is being! It is so VERY gothic! And I am glad I don't have anything scheduled this evening.
At a time when I am very actively seeking joy and laughter...Beware of Chicken by Causalfarmer is really hitting the right spot. So fun and silly!
Just finished Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird by @henrylienauthor.bsky.social. What a nice little introduction to some Eastern storytelling traditions! I will definitely be looking at East and Southeast Asian works in translation with a different eye.
Only one of so, so many events that happened today.
I am working my way slowly through the anthology We Will Rise Again and it's got a lot of lovely gems. But the story by @annaleen.bsky.social made me go HELL YEAH! Which I badly needed. So thank you.
Just finished The Republic of Memory by @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social and my bad but I didn't realize it wasn't a stand alone. I await the rest of this excellent story with bated breath!
I've been in need of wholesome (?) entertainment of late, so I'm rewatching Taskmaster NZ. And now I want to make ginger crunch, so thanks for that, Mr. Wells.
New leaving the house routine is keys, wallet, phone, whistle...
Wheeee! I just finished reading @ryherman.bsky.social's new book This Princess Kills Monsters and what a treat it was! So many familiar fairy tales stitched together into a delightful new whole. I was grinning with joy each time a new bit of fairy tale was unveiled!
