Oats are so tasty in smoothies though. Like a cookie.

I’m drinking a protein powder smoothie right now. Not this one though. My malfunctioning esophagus likes them. I do not like how I can always tell there’s powder in there no matter how much I blend. But I’m just used to it now.

If people don’t know about my do-goodery, what is the point of doing good? Where are my accolades?

Haha. I was looking for her and couldn’t find her and got confused.

I don’t know what the context of this photo is, but I remember doing an archaeological dig once and wearing ochre on my face out of respect for and to make myself visible to the ancestors of the local first nation and thinking that someone might misconstrue my pictures after the fact. I looked....a lot like this. But…

Weird. I graduated 13 years ago and the laptops were already starting to take over. In any case, I’m not going back for at least another 10. Maybe by then we will just be able to absorb via some sort of osmosis.

I have a really old Kobo with no backlighting. It doesn’t flash at all!

There is no way I would do research on my reader. It’s purely for entertainment purposes.

Yes, that’s the little beast. There are so many fancy ones these days, but my trusty old kobo never dies. I’m a big fan of manual note taking in any case. I’m definitely one of those people who remembers better what I’ve written vs. what I’ve typed.

Mine is a first generation kobo that doesn’t even have a touchscreen, but I don’t use it for that anyways. Just reading. :)

I went backpacking 12 years ago and I had to lug books with me. Talk about wasted space in the old pack. I sacrificed clothing and washed things in hostel sinks.

Oh, totally. And I have to say that kids books do not translate well to e-readers. So I’m still buying shit tons of those because I’m an addict. I love bookstores. I never leave empty-handed. But I always reach for that reader at the end of the day.

ENDLESS BOOKS. FREE CLASSICS.
I mean...I like to hold a book too, but damn. Until someone opens a bookstore with free classics in my bedroom and I have a free book carrier to follow me everywhere, I gotta stick with my kobo.

This is true. If I go back to school ever I will take notes in pen. I will be that old lady who is out of touch with technology and gets the good grades. There’s one in every class.

omgomgomg this teacher that I hated had one in his pants pocket and it leaked and it looked like he peed himself in blue. Take that, Mr. Curlysack. Real name Kurulak.

I find this to be an unpopular opinion among my largely 35-50 year old friends, but goddam I love my e-reader and I don’t care who knows it. It has that nice e-ink thing so it looks just like a novel. I can carry a kajillion books in one tiny package. It remembers what page I was on. I needed a third book in a trilogy…

Seriously offensive bullshit. I have a lovely man with autism in my family. He’s smarter than the rest of us. His brain is very much there. Some bits operate a little differently. Oh - and he had waaaaay less vaccines and a natural case of measles because he’s in his 50s. But you know, vaccines = autism.

Prince George. I had never seen anything like it before. Usually we have women outside the hospital holding up pro-choice signs instead. Ha.

I have it on as background noise while I lesson plan sometimes. Can’t do that with actual good tv on.

A few weeks ago I pulled up at a red light and there were a bunch of women on the corner with tape and giant signs featuring dead feti. Sounds better than fetuses. Of course they were fully formed babies and probably the result of a devastating later loss, but you know - semantics. This was across from the mall, a…
