Every day I'm just so happy with my one-in-a-million rescue dog. This little senior poodle is just the sweetest, quietest, gentlest little buddy and best bookshop dog.

my sales rep gave me this arc the other day, and I am SO hyped.

My dogs and I hate the 4th of July. Just hunkered down in the basement waiting for the war to be over.

Happy Independence Day

No big deal, just Dua Lipa reading my buddy Kaveh's book.

I have three book clubs tomorrow (one for my shop, and two outside of it) and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have a voice after being sick all week.

all I want to do is pet dogs and read books and ride rollercoasters and eat tasty treats until I die. is that too much to ask?

What a shit week. I've been sick since Tuesday (feeling 70% better now) when I usually work Wednesday & Thursday, and now the internet is out at both my shops because of last night's storms. Booooo.

one of my favorite little joys in life is the derpy smooshed face on a dog after it wakes up.

Available now to pre-order from your favorite independent bookstore. Such as, for example, @mainbooksin.bsky.social 💓 www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2880-h... "In How to Close a Camp ... Washington offers a galvanizing, clear-eyed case for why we must close these camps—and how to do it." #AbolishICE

I know we as a society don't do a good job teaching people how to budget, but seeing fully grown adult people just be really terrible at $$ drives me up the wall. And yes, I know the economy sucks, but it's more the cycle of absolutely no planning/saving and impulsive spending that drives me wild.

I'm constantly pretending to eat kibble and putting it in the microwave to make my toy poodle eat.

My little senior rescue toy poodle finally let me look into the back of his mostly toothless mouth, and there are a couple lil teeth in there. Also, enjoy this picture of him and his tongue looking like a fruit roll up.

Went to let my friend's dog out and then a cat appeared acting like it lived here, but I don't actually know if it lives here. Anyway, I may have let a strange cat into this house and my friend didn't respond to my "is this your cat?" text.

Realistically, we won't be a three-dog household for very long (my two older dogs are 14.5 and 15) so I will be taking as many pictures of the three of them together as possible ❤️

If you think that AI is more important to your business than employees, you deserve to have neither employees nor a business.

Went to a gathering for the arts board I'm on, and the person presenting kept talking about how she used AI to make everything (including illustrations on the slides) and I just can't 🤦‍♀️

I have never been halfway through so many books in my life. I need to just finish a thing; this is getting depressing.

If people don't like you, that's ok. If dogs don't like you, then it's time for some self-reflection.

Sometimes people get so much Botox and filler that they look like a muppet instead of a human being, and it gives me uncanny valley and makes me so uncomfortable I cannot really interact with them.

I am once again trying to rush-read some books before the @americanbookseller.bsky.social indie next list nominations are due.

This isn't even a full conference, just a forum, and already I've obtained a big ole stack of books.

Someone rolled in poop. Again. #toypoodle #rescuedog

This tiny dog gaslit me for two months into thinking that he couldn't jump onto the couch by himself. he can. 👿

The people on my local Facebook do not understand how our primaries work. They keep posting "just vote blue" when you have to pick a party and vote between multiple "blue" candidates. 😬

Like 8 cop cars are here raiding my Black neighbor's house for some reason so we're here video-ing what we can cuz we don't trust 'em.

He might look sweet and innocent but if he had teeth he'd probably draw blood over a cheezit crumb. He'd use his whole 4 lbs and 12 ounces to crush you.
