I forget what a ride Jackson's books are AND how she capitalizes on current events in real, thought-provoking ways. I'm obsessed!

One thing I've learned this summer is I'm terrible at identifying furry ground animals. Currently in the Canadian Rockies with my parents. This doesn't look like Gary the Groundhog from Wisconsin. So, who or what is this little dude?

Popped by a novelty store whose theme seemed to be "this could've been a garage sale." Just a few off the bizarre things on sale.

I'm very confused by the mountain dew situation...is this a thing I've just missed in my time overseas?

On the first evening I saw two bucks wandering a yard, a muskrat (maybe ?) snooping for snacks, 3 giant raccoons porch partying, and lightening bugs!

Final day in Sri Lanka. The skies in Colombo cleared and we ventured out in the neighborhood. Heading back to Abu Dhabi and the last few weeks of school. #bowlingsabroad

I know that's right. We'll be back!

Binging a book means it's over sooner and you're left pining for more 😭 @jordanharper.bsky.social has a way with words. Filled with complex characters, new ways of thinking about familiar things, and some noteable one liners. When's this going to be movie 👀

I'm posting this late but I was sooooo excited when my notifications announced it was @jordanharper.bsky.social day! 🥳🥳🥳

Good bye Thailand. You've been a wonderful anchor in the midst of the storm.

I was just not ready for all the monkey-ing around the morning!

Heading to Thailand for spring break (planned back in Dec). But also feeling anxious about the future. One week? More than a week? Hard to know how this conflict will unfold and when I'll be back to my sweet view on the 39th floor and the life we've created here (I know, champagne problems).

Might not seem like a lot but this is the most I've read in a working year. Typically I'm too busy reading essays. Obvs I needed some escape from real life!

I'm sooo excited to see @jordanharper.bsky.social "She Rides Shotgun" as an option in this Emirates ✈️ Hits ▶️

Had an amazing time in Budapest @natebowling.com Walkable, a plethora cafes & restaurants, delicious food, easy public transportation and bursting with tension filled history.

Thanks to all those who recommended Tia Williams! She did not disappoint with juicy story telling and characters you're rooting for!

Just finished this collection of short stories by the best of contemporary YA authors. Best friends, secret crushes, and tough decisions. 10/10 recommend!

Got sucked into this author who never fails to deliver tension-filled, feel-good romances. She weaves in mental health issues and complex relationship themes but I'm looking for a little more variety. If y'all have any recs of romance books centering Black/Brown characters let me know!

Finally started @sarahkendzior.bsky.social latest. It's one liner after one liner. 🔥🔥🔥 My only criticism is that you can't highlight an audiobook. I can tell already I'm gonna need a physical copy to re-read asap.

One reason @natebowling.com and I've been married so long is we both love food. Walk, eat. Walk, drink. Repeat.

With a ten hr layover, we had time to hop onto the direct train line into Taipei. Wandering the neighborhood outside central station proved beautiful and gave us a snippet of city life.

First time flying Star Lux. Peanuts is the official logo and it's soooo cute! Smooth flying experience with strong service and some of the best airplane food out there.

Greenery reminds me of the Singapore airport but the wood is def giving Scandinavia.

I really did not think SA Cosby could write a better book than Razorblade Tears. I stand corrected. This books is PERFECT. 10/10

Nate's really good at being an Uncle.

This is my first NF book by John Green. Wow. 🤯 I didn't realize the extent to which TB was so alive, well and treatable. I also found myself thinking ALOT about the current administration's beliefs & cuts to USAID,, NIH and so much medical research in the US. 💔

Today, I'm mailing a copy to Senator Maria Cantwell. Will anyone join me in sending our leaders this book?!

I'm starting with Senator Patty Murray.

Research shows that often the greatest beneficiaries of DEI policies are white women.

Spent the evening at the Sheikh Zayed Festival, one of my fav winter festivals. I never tire of the talented musicians and dancers.
