Does it feel like spring where you are? The other day I took a walk outside in the afternoon and came back sweating, squinting from the onslaught of sunshine. It feels like summer already here in Los Angeles, like we’ve skipped over spring entirely.
Usually, the lengthening days would make my vitamin D deficient self rejoice! But god, I kind of wish winter lasted a bit longer, that I could rot for a little more. I guess what I’m saying is that the rest of the year is beckoning, and all I want to do is pull up the covers and snuggle deeper into bed. Just a minute longer. Maybe five.
But the world spins on, and time marches past… Get it? Marches past?
Sorry lol. We’ll get into the links shortly:
🇵🇸 Keep talking about Palestine and keep calling and emailing your representatives for a PERMANENT ceasefire. Find a protest near you here and learn about the Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions (BDS) movement here.
Donate directly to Palestinians in need of funds for evacuating, medical expenses, and more via Operation Olive Branch here.
🇸🇩 Contact your representatives about the war in Sudan here.

Sugar, Baby by Celine Saintclare — A riotous novel about the good, the bad, and the ugly of sex work. I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected, especially the female friendship aspect.

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett — I had just about given up on faerie romances, but this one really exceeded my expectations. Like, there was actual worldbuilding. There was chemistry and relationship development. The faeries were actually faeries, not just seven feet tall “males” with wings and growly voices.
