Yesterday I finished book number 100 of the year! It was Bellweather Rhapsody by Kate Racculia, the second of hers I’ve read, and it was a treat. I would like to thank the authors of the Murderbot, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Lady Hardcastle series for their delightfully addictive books.

Side note: I have zero idea how to code, so I used a site that does “vibe coding”: you tell it what you want, and it executes. It’s frankly amazing, except I forget that the AI is completely non-intuitive—that is, I have to tell it to do things that are simply logical. I therefore call it Kronk.
Hi all! I spent the summer creating an app to let my students practice legal citation and am now trying to get it uploaded to various platforms. Google Play requires me to get 12 people to test it for 14 days. If you have an Android and would be willing to check it out, would you let me know?
(1) I am so grateful to everyone!! (2) I am still fighting with both app platforms and friends I am never making another app

Me a month ago: Man, Goodreads keeps insisting I’d love the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Guess I’ll listen to the first one. Me this week: This eighth one in the series is the last one out so I have to ration it out
I have started listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and am entirely addicted. I will now forever shout GODDAMMIT DONUT in my head when I get frustrated 😂
I never expected to attend a keynote speech at the LWI conference that featured She-Hulk and other comics panels but it is completely awesome
We just binged the Duffer brothers’ new series “The Boroughs” in two sittings, and it was amazing. We were terrified, we laughed, we cried, we fell in love with Denis O’Hare, it was everything we wanted ♥️
My husband wanted to show 11yo “Short Circuit,” and friends: it does not hold up

Halfway through the drive to and from the vet my car decides that Biscuit—twelve-pound Biscuit—is a passenger who needs a seatbelt. Then it dings at me for the rest of the drive and I get increasingly homicidal
“Oh dope!”— me, a vibrant young person, upon opening a shipping box to find my new CPAP supplies
I commented on a big bin of (unfrozen) freezer pops at Publix and the pharmacist said “yeah, I saw a kid jump into it once” I’m SHOCKED that younger me never had that intrusive thought 😂😂😂
Friends, I’m at a baseball game with my beloved Dad today, and he loaned me one of his dozens (maybe hundreds) of minor league hats: a special event version of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers’ udder-tuggers mascot. The shirt is the Dash’s alternate Tobacco Bug guy. Minor league baseball is the BEST
Friends, if you were a pre-teen in the '90s like myself, please know that pre-teens (like my kid) are still being assigned to read "The Westing Game." I only vaguely remember the book but the title smacked me right in the nostalgia.

On our wedding day and at another wedding 23 years later. I think it’s gonna last ♥️
Just attended a glorious Alamo Drafthouse movie party where these were two of the favors. Can you guess what the movie was? (Snake necklace is mine, just a handy display base for the pin)
The cereal drawer before and after I combined the half-empty bags my kids leave in boxes
Shout out to the organizers of my kid’s current baseball tournament, being held at a high school field, where they forgot to unlock the ladies’ bathroom but DO have exactly one portapotty for every player, coach, and spectator here! Super worth the $20 they charge us to get in!
I’m grading my seminar papers and just wrote in one student’s bench brief feedback “I particularly appreciated how well you understood the assignment, as the kids say, but actually literally this time”
I just ordered some paint by number kits from a new company and they sent me an email saying “get excited about your new hobby!” and like Bro
Just listened to this memoir in one sitting. I knew modern-day Dave Holmes was hilarious from his appearances on The Past Times, but he’s also a thoughtful writer & awesome narrator. Go listen to it!
Friends, I have decided for various gut reasons to eat skyr/Greek yogurt once a day for a month. I have obtained a large variety of brands and flavors and shall report my feedback on this thread.
If anyone is planning to order from Lands End, just fyi they’re not actually shipping anything out. I placed an order on April 14th and have been told twice that they are having delays caused by “system updates at our distribution center.” They won’t give me even a general window for shipping.
I’m shocked that this doesn’t have millions of views based solely on how often it runs through my head youtu.be/_I_-jAwJpok?...

I just finished my 51st book of the year—all of them audiobooks!—and it was ACES. For the first time (for me) with a fiction book, the author herself narrated it! And she was amazing! I was loving the book and as it wound down I found myself whispering PLEASE STICK THE LANDING and IT DID
I HAVE ENFORCED MY WILL and as a bonus got to point and say “ that’s Evan Hansen!” to my musical-loving daughter
Well that was a pleasant watch! I immediately demanded that we follow it with “Pitch Perfect” which is much the same mold
