My dad and I visited our nearby indie bookstore today and spotted this in the wild. It may be of interest to @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social. The quote mentioned will be in the following skeet.

A bookstore shelf. In the center of the shelf are two copies of Long Live Evil and one copy of All HAIL Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan. Below is a note from the bookstore staff that reads" "Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan I was rooting for the villain as the author turned every trope on its head!"

"This quote will convince you to read it. No names are used but it my spoil the end. Proceed with caution. ~ Hannah"

"Lift to see."

I voted early! (Yay for early voting!) They let me take one of each sticker design.

There are four stickers on a table. They all feature Maryland-centric designs. Three of them say "I voted" and "Yo voté." The fourth is a design to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US with a Maryland flag with text in Spanish.

I cooked dinner today. It's a chowder recipe from a Disney cookbook. It was a big hit. We all had seconds and somehow saved some for a later lunch.

A bowl of a kielbasa and potato chowder garnished with bacon pieces, crushed fennel, and dried parsley. There is a spoon to the left of the bowl and a glass of Pinot Noir to the right.

The antlers atop her head might make one think of prey, but her posture screams predator in a way that I'm failing to articulate. Here. Have a look.

George Platt Lynes - Katharine Hepburn, 1946

This is a black and white photo. Actress Katharine Hepburn is in the center of the frame blacklit by a hazy circular light. She wears a flowing strapless gown with fringe on the bodice. Her hands are resting on leafless tree branches. There are taxidermied raccoons and a rabbit at her feet. Her expression has no softness. Also, she's wearing antlers.
