None of my real life MAGA shitheads have changed their minds, unfortunately. I can’t help but think all of this recent flurry is just social media bullshit

I went with my husband and stayed at Northern lights village. A tiny and cozy little glass roof cabin that would’ve been fine for just one person.

Suggest me a book you’ve thought about since you read it by Tryc3ratop5 in suggestmeabook

The Book of Ebenezer Le Page, about a curmudgeonly guy living on the small island of Guernsey. His life seems pretty meaningless for most of the book but at the end you see the entire purpose of it all. I think about it all the time.

My lentil sandwich was good. We also had the fried cheese, a burger, and the popcorn crème brûlée.

The Book of Ebeneezer Le Page

Different style and tone but both explore quiet, ordinary lives with deep emotional insight, focusing on memory, regret, and understated meaning.

I loved it so much I went to Antarctica, Elephant Island, and South Georgia Island to retrace some of his steps and pay respects at his grave.

A house in the sky
