June 16, 2024 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

My coworker and direct supervisor who is also a friend saw that I was spiraling a bit this past year and decided to get me The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi for Christmas. Between work and personal life things all hitting the fan in what felt like a non-stop no-time-for-breathing pattern I was losing it a little. She had read it and it spoke to her and she had begun implementing pieces of it into her personal and professional ethos and while she and […]

Like any other day, I was scrolling through TikTok, watching dog rescue videos and clips of that lumberjack with the tattoos.

I learned how to knit in college out of a book (my grandmother tried to teach me as a kid but I don’t think I was really interested at the time), so now I’m coming back to the single needle again. I’ve […]

Lemme tell you a not-so-secret-secret about ‘adulthood’: Nobody knows what the f they are doing. So much of being an adult is dealing with sucky situations – all the sudden a lot of your friend’s parents are dying, or your sister-in-law gets cancer (again), or this one has an affair that devastates that one, or your cousin suffers another miscarriage while her sister is expecting twins.

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
