There are three bones around and two dogs. You would think each dog could have their own bone, but, no, Zoo walks up to Zeus and steals his bone right from his mouth. Now to help Zeus find another bone...

Where are the FUCKING Democrats? What are they FUCKING doing? Stop sitting on your hands, stop fucking compromising, stop. Just fucking stop. AND DO SOMETHING!

They're all just proving what I have thought for years, they'll be fine so they don't fucking care. They are proving to be just as bad, if not worse because they pay lip service to shit (at least MAGA doesn't lie about what they're doing), than the Republicans.

I am DONE with these pieces of shit.

End rant. #USPol

#introduction since I haven't done one in a long while.

I am Cindy. I am the admin and owner of bookstodon.com and woodworking.group

I am a former librarian. I live between northern Michigan and the upper peninsula of Michigan. The woods are my home.

Books are my thing. I post a lot of dog pictures. I have 3 cats, but I can't get pictures of them so they are missing from the feed. I have 2 teenagers.

I pay attention to everything. Sometimes I wish I didn't.

I picked this up randomly this morning. It is easy to read, but not an easy read, if that makes sense. It is written in small vignettes, journal form. The author's husband dies unexpectedly making her a widow in her thirties. It is heartbreaking and gut wrenching, but beautiful. Highly recommend if you're looking for something meaningful to read. I found my stomach dropping at points and I may not have cried, but I could feel tears coming. It is a brave book.

So this is what I am thinking about: The majority of my neighbors have known me for most of my life. All those around me are Trump supporters. They have watched my kids grow up. They KNOW us. I should be able to say that my family is safe in my own neighborhood, but I don't really know that we are.

Do we leave? Where the fuck do we go?

In the past we have had people ask about making donations to help curb our cost of running the server.

As Bookstodon.com is a labor of love (books are my real life obsession), we will never ask for donations.

We are also able to keep our costs low due to running our own Mastodon hosting platform.

If you are interested in helping out, we would just like you to help bring friends to Mastodon from Twitter or Goodreads whether it be our server or any other.

Had a good hike through the woods. Here's a tiny flower I came across.

Zeus is such a good boy.
