I'll be at Fort Collins Comic Con this year! It's a really fun local Con with a ton of great artists, panels, scientists, guests, gaming, cosplay, and so much more. August 14 - 16 (next weekend!) If you're in the area, stop by and say hi! fococomiccon.com/tickets/
I feel like I've been on my feet all damn day (maybe I have?) and accomplished nothing but also accomplished quite a lot?
My phone just graciously reminded me that today marks 8 years of me officially moving to Sweden. I started off living in this tiny hut on a cliff’s edge way out of town and I sometimes miss it dearly 🥰🥲
Did a big scary thing of knocking on my neighbor’s door and now I’m recouping with a beer 😂
Bf has allowed me to go unsupervised to the greatest garden store in the universe and I’m not sure if this is a display of unconditional trust or if he’s just given up 😂😍
I'm really not allowed to complain that there's finally a big rain shower hitting Sweden, but ffs could it *not* be right on the days we planned to go to the mountains to hike and bike 😭
How about a queer romance that celebrates silence, nature, and the joy of just being? There's a were-bear in it too... --> www.karenlykkebo.com/bearmyheart 📚💙
What are you reading this weekend? Want a short, sweet read? Bear My Heart is a sapphic romance with a focus on stillness, healing, and magical nature. It's packed full of emotion but will leave you with a warm smile on your face. https://www.karenlykkebo.com/bearmyheart 📚💙

I used to be a road-bike girlie thru-and-thru, but I'm fully onboard with my dirt bike after moving to Sweden and having scenery like this to enjoy. Yeah, I'm eating his dust clouds most of the way, but at least he knows the way 😅 A cute little 55K today with the bf 🫶
