“We need to protect connections between us where they have been lost. We have become isolated in our binaries, in the dualism of “them versus us”. This has caused the same kind of unraveling that fragmentation and isolation of habitats has done to the earth‘s eco-systems. A healthy ecosystem of humans is also one that embraces diversity and connectivity”.

Wine and books. Hmm. I like the social aspects of this idea. A place to hang out, read and 🍷. My brain goes straight to spilling the wine. https://youtu.be/mBYn_l8Ik5A?si=33ZVgruFxAqYVHGs
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays all!
Above is my book related Christmas booty. More book nook kits. Nice heavy dragon bookends. A book *Jinkies* to clean my new glasses and phone screen. Yay!
“My paternal grandmother, Irene Miville Horton was descendant of not one fille du roi, but fifteen. Fifteen seemed like quite a lot until my research found people with a many as 80”.

A gorgeous Yale University press book. Im pretty sure this is a museum exhibit as well. I‘ll post more of the pictures inside later.
I‘ve been picking up books for mom at the library. She reads fast. I can‘t help myself 😝.
“I was too awake, it was all taking too long. I turned into a feral position. A loneliness that can be rocked. The great female tragedy. My mother, my love. It was too late. I ate books. I could live here”.
“I don‘t think I‘d heard of Prozac before, it was still so new. There was nothing like the so-called direct-to-consumer advertising we‘re so used to now. A few years later there would be books : Peter D. Kramer ‘s Listening to Prozac and Elizabeth Wurtzel‘s Prozac Nation. And soon after those creepy commercials. Ask your doctor if Zoloft might be right for you. Etc”.
Yup, yup, yup!
Putting together the walls is frustrating. I just got my acrylic nails done for the first time in years .They‘re sparkly red. It‘s making it ten times harder 🤨😂.
I got these tiny reading animals to add to my book nooks. A new hobby and all. They are cute! I can see them being a hit with readers of all ages; just as long as they aren‘t young enough to pop them in their mouths or anything. They come in packs of 12 and 24
Individually wrapped. Great for classes and libraries.
I just came across an Etsy store that sells these hollowed out book stacks. I even made some a little like this back in my bookbinding days.

“We know that our brains have evolved to crave connection:When we “click” with someone, our eyes often start to dilate in tandem;our pulses match; we feel the same emotions and start to complete each other‘s sentences within our heads.This is known as natural entrainment, and it feels wonderful. Sometimes it happens and we have no idea why; we just feel lucky that the conversation went so well. Other times, even when we‘re desperate to bond with
Getting ready.
I have a few family members who are part Cherokee. Let‘s see if I learn anything?

But more than anything else, the bustle of Goutte d‘Or is sustained by the fact that low-income people can still live here.
