As a mom of a daughter, this book low key is stressing me out

Food 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 bodies 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 morally 👏🏻 neutral 👏🏻

Ok ok we’re back to talking environment but the importance of harm reduction to the self, I’m back on board

Me with baby laundry when Alec was away on his first out of town - washed it, dried it, kept it in the dryer and just grabbed what I needed. 10 month old does not need perfectly folded clothes all the time 🙌🏻

Ehhh idk how I feel about “just throw it away” for clothes you’ve been meaning to donate (and listen I have my existing pile) I think there’s other options out there that can still be accessible for those with executive dysfunction before we get to that point so that we’re not directly putting more waste into the world

Oh I’m already locked in

Lysandra you QUEEN

Ugh ran out of time on Libby again but my god this is a good read

Ok picking this back up on Libby after making sure my therapist was SURE I was meant to read this one (she was like “girl yes lmao”)

Artists 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 essential 👏🏻

This one was recommended in the With Her Own Hands book so I grabbed a copy

Are we supposed to like Heath? Cause I simply do not, he’s so many red flags

Listening to Johnny Weir read fake fanfic in an audiobook was NOT on my 2026 bingo card LMAO

Very meta listening to this to and from my very first adult’s ice skating class

Omg love that Johnny Weir has a voice part in this for a character

Iceland has entered the chat can I get a hell yeah

Holy crap this is heavy so far

This one is a therapist suggested read so we’ll see how it goes! (Read: how much I cry!)

Damn I wish I could go to a Shetland party where all everyone does is knit the whole time that sounds like such a blast

Women’s work and craft are magical and men are literally JEALOUS they’ll do anything to diminish its value

Literally my brain trying to self sabotage me minutes before my first date with my now husband and almost bailing

Reading this in tandem with Are you Mad at Me I’m like “omg were you just fawn responsing??”
