How long does it take you to start a new book after finishing one?

▪︎

For me, it will either take a few minutes or the next day or two. Sometimes I still want to ride the high of the recently finished book.

▪︎

Here are some books that are on my tbr. Have you read any of these?

“Evie Von Rathe lives in Blight Harbor—the seventh-most haunted town in America—with her Aunt Desdemona, the local paranormal expert. Des doesn’t have many rules except one: Stay out of the abandoned slaughterhouse at the edge of town. But when her aunt disappears into the building, Evie goes searching for her.

There she meets The Clackity, a creature who lives in the shadows and seams of the slaughterhouse. The Clackity makes a deal with Evie to help get Des back in exchange for the ghost of John Jeffrey Pope, a serial killer who stalked Blight Harbor a hundred years earlier. Evie must embark on a journey into a strange otherworld filled with hungry witches, penny-eyed ghosts, and a memory-thief, all while being pursued by a dead man whose only goal is to add Evie to his collection of lost souls.”

—The Clackity by Lora Senf

“It will,” Wit said, “but then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you, Kaladin: You will be warm again.

In honor of the new show and my love for the movie, I'm gonna actually read the book this time. ♥️

[weatheredlaw]

i taught swim lessons and preschool, do y’all wanna hear the most ridiculous white kid names i’ve ever seen?

[weatheredlaw]

i’ve met at least a dozen children named some form of “jackson” but the best ones were “jaxon” and “jakson” 

a parent who i really liked named her son “jaycob” because she was worried people wouldn’t pronounce it correctly. when someone accidentally spelled it “jacob” she would loudly and obnoxiously ask “WHO’S JAH-KOBE?” 

two siblings named “thor” and “tiara”

i once had a classroom with four girls named “brooklyn”

if you sent me a list of popular boy names, i could guarantee i’ve met every single one of them

twin girls named paisley and brinley

a girl named reader

a boy named rocko

keighleey

kayde

kolten

if it can start with a “k” instead of a “c” i have met that child

brittalynn 

i taught a swim class with three girls named “london” but only one of them was spelled “lundon” and i know my boss did that to me on purpose

a couple named all their kids after places in arizona: tatum, payson, and hayden

and speaking of hayden, i’ve seen: haydon, heighden, and heydon 

according to some white people, there are sixteen different ways to spell mckenzie

lakelyn, blakelynn 

[a-daks]

this is white culture

[spamsterlady]

I had a student named Branch.

[curlicuecal]

I once had pair of siblings named Hunter and Tanner. I really wanted them to have a sister named Fawn.

I had a Clark and Ophelia that were a bit unusual in the naming department.

And I had every single imaginable version of a girl’s name staring with “Mad-“ and every single imaginable version of a boy’s name ending in “-aden”

[ceekari]

Mom’s a teacher. So far her best/worst white kid names:

“Damion with a Y” according to the parent. Daymion? Damyon? Nope. Damiony. The Y is silent, said parent

A girl named Free. Maybe not that bad on its own, but the girl’s last name was Love

A boy named Calup because his mom couldn’t spell Caleb

[curlicuecal]

the y is silenty

Brittalyn (Methylphenidate) for the treatment of mild to moderate ADHD.

[whofilets]

Boys named Grayson. Son of an old gray man.

I know twins named brinlee and blakeleigh and that’s just not even fair

A young woman who married an Aiden and named their son Jayden. Like COME ON

Communication feels like arguing when you have a hard time expressing your emotions.

[glowdiamond]

I find that if you grew up in a dysfunctional family, with a verbally and/or physically violent parent, regular communication or healthy disagreements feel scary and unsafe because you grew in a highly unstable/ volatile environment where a conversation about potato salad being too salty could have escalated into a full blown fight.

I know for a fact that I avoid disagreements and difficult conversations because it makes me super tense and i’m constantly trying to anticipate the person’s reaction/what they would like to hear to keep myself safe.

In your adult life, you have to train yourself to be an open communicator, you have to take responsibility over yourself and work on healing your inner child so that you don’t get wound up whenever a tough conversation needs to take place, disagreements are normal and healthy (no one is going to agree with everything you say), it is safe for you to disagree with others, it is safe for your to voice your opinion, it is also  highly recommended for you to express your emotional/physical needs even if it feels uncomfortable, your partner/friends/colleagues are not mind readers.

[theambitiouswoman]

👏

[wuzzagoinon]

Or, in my case with an emotionally abusive parent, I was gaslit whenever I expressed any kind of anger, disappointment, or disagreement. If I wasn’t gaslit, I was given the silent treatment until I was so worked up that I begged forgiveness and swore to never act out again. This continued on until I finally learned that being quiet was best. 

It’s like pulling teeth for my husband to get me to properly and adequately express my feelings/displeasure because I never want to piss anyone off and because I’ve held it inside for so long and grown so angry, I cry out of sheer frustration which only makes me more mad because I don’t want to cry. 

I’m 37 going on 38. It’s a lot to unpack and process within myself let alone grow and use more healthy communication habits.

[sirfrogsworth]

Things just keep getting stupider.

"I want that thing the president had!"

JUST GET A FUCKING VACCINE.

[13-vampires-in-a-coat]

I get what you mean, Frogman, but I have a hard time watching Florida's COVID response when my family is calling me from Tampa telling me how things are down there.

The entire lot of them listen to Fox News way too much, but they're at least being sensible about this whole thing and trying to be very careful. Masks, distancing, vaccines, the works. It might not matter, though, because many of them are immune compromised or sick with other diseases that COVID could make worse.

And as much as they frustrate me sometimes, it really sucks seeing them do everything right and still worry about dying. And then coming on Tumblr and seeing someone make light of any effort to keep that from happening.

I dunno, maybe I'm too close to the situation.

[sirfrogsworth]

I don't see where I am making light of anything. This is extremely frustrating and dangerous. Ron DeSantis is saying monoclonal antibodies are a viable alternative to vaccines when they are really really not. They are good in only very specific situations.

So this governor, who probably has a financial incentive to push Regeneron, is wasting resources creating these pop up monoclonal antibody sites when he should be encouraging these folks to get vaccinated with every fiber of his being.

This is not an effort to keep anyone from dying. If anything, this is going to cause more death. We need all these people to get vaccinated. They are not doing things right. They are not sensible.

I'm sorry you feel I made light of this. That wasn't my intention. But I'm not sure I completely understand your criticism so I don't know how to resolve this other than the above clarification.

[wuzzagoinon]

I can’t speak for Tampa because I haven’t been down there since before this surge but I’ve driven from Orlando to Pensacola and not a damn person is social distancing or wearing masks. My mother lives in The Villages and those people are so brainwashed by Fox News it’s not even funny. I can’t speak for vaccination rates down there but I know for a fact that hardly anyone is masking up or social distancing. My local beaches were PACKED for different events and every time I go out I’m one of the very few still wearing a mask. 

So no, they’re not doing everything right. They’re listening to the rhetoric from Fox News and running with it thinking they’ll be okay when they will not be okay. Florida is a cesspool of anti-vaxxer COVID deniers and Gov. DeSantis is only making it worse by just letting everyone run all willy nilly.

My local hospitals are overrun to the point that local nursing homes can’t send coding patients out to them. CODING PATIENTS WHO NEED LIFE SAVING MEASURES ARE BEING DENIED FROM THE HOSPITAL! Why? Because we’re overrun with COVID, short staffed, and fucking exhausted. And most of the people admitted are unvaxxed people with COVID.

So yeah, just get a fucking vaccine.
