Happy Wednesday! (Is it Wednesday?) I have a vacation coming up in three weeks, but before that, I have to get through so many deadlines and things. Woof. I can’t tell if working toward a vacay makes me more motivated or just makes all the deadlines more annoying. The Thursday Murder Club adaptation comes out this week. My friend and I are doing a buddy watch over the weekend. I asked her what she wanted me … Continue reading Links: Censorship, a Subway for Cats, & More

Happy Wednesday! Check-in time! My birthday was Friday and I caught the vicious cold my partner had earlier that week. Birthday plans were canceled and it was pretty much four days of DayQuil comas and playing Love and Deepspace in bed. In fairness, our plans were already pretty lowkey and they’ve been rescheduled for this weekend. Also, like many of you, my birthday gave me a chance to reflect on how long I’ve been part … Continue reading Links: Dragons, Stationery Supplies, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Time for a little check-in. How are we doing? I’m certainly spending more time with my partner. We had a lovely afternoon of gaming last weekend. We took turns doing runs of Slay the Spire; whoever wasn’t playing would be working on their laptop or reading. I’m eying the new Split Fiction game, because I really liked It Takes Two. Have any of you picked it up yet? I’m also in a cozy game … Continue reading Links: Faerie Smut, Cats, & More

Hey, everyone! It’s Wednesday! We’re kicking things off with a serious story, as an FYI. Definitely heed Sarah’s warning. I honestly can’t remember what has happened since last time. My home office is getting set up and I’m loving it. I have a pink candy jar with a ghost wearing a cowboy hat on top. I am going full on dopamine decor and I couldn’t be happier. I also bought organizers for my craft supplies … Continue reading Links: Cats, Rachel Reid, & More
Hello, everyone! It’s been too long! Happy New Year! As we start 2025 with all of the uncertainty that brings, I want to reiterate my appreciation for this community. I hope your holiday celebrations were exactly as you envisioned them, whether big or small. I personally have been on a campaign for “quiet Christmas-ing,” a phrase coined by one of my friends. Instead of traveling for the holidays, she stayed home and made smashburgers. My … Continue reading Links: Cat Cams, Music, & More
Welcome back, everyone! Brian and I close on a house officially tomorrow! We are so excited, but definitely are having some sticker shock with closing costs + updates we want to do to the house before we move in. However, I’m so excited to start molding and shaping the space into something that feels like ours. My biggest projects: creating a little coffee bar in the kitchen and designed my peachy neon gamer girl paradise … Continue reading Links: Cat Tours, Cross Stitch, & More
Welcome back to Links! Thank you all for the well wishes last week. Engaged life has been great and I’m still basking in the bliss of celebrating with my person. I was also able to usher in the fall season with my first batch of chili! We have a family recipe (it’s nothing fancy) and it really hit the spot, complete with some crusty bread for dunking. Do any of you have a favorite seasonal … Continue reading Links; Fashion, Cat Cafes, & More
