It’s good to read in public. It’s even better to read any old thing at places like bars and restaurants without worrying about what people might think if they see you reading—for example—a romantasy novel with a cheesy cover. Get out there and RNATC!

not in the fishing-for-a-meet-cute way like literally being there to read

reading aloud to a friend or husband or partner is truly one of life’s little joys. swapping chapters back and forth is the perfect activity for a day in the park, a rainy afternoon on the couch, before dinner after a long hike on a camping trip, or in bed. i particularly recommend doing this with something silly, like a 1970s pulp fantasy novel or 1950s teen romance from the discount bin of a used book store.

I admittedly have a lot of pet peeves, but leading the pack is online recipes of any stripe. Food blog, bon apetit post, tiktok caption…they're all a nightmare, and I hate them. I ✨hate✨ them!!! Who wants to click out of a half dozen pop up ads with messy hands and stuff going on the stove? Who is that experience for?? Especially when nearly every recipe you could ever hope to need or imagine already exists in libraries and thrift stores (both of which offer both cookbooks and food magazines!).
that being said… I’m not above referencing Smitten Kitchen or Sally’s or Modern Proper. But i’ve taken to physically writing down those recipes ahead of time, and it’s amazing how much it improves the cooking/baking experience both in terms of easy reference and also in the way it helps me mentally think through the process.
I recommend physical recipes!!!

every once in a while I like to go rogue at the grocery store just to remind myself that I am an adult with free will. Yesterday I did this at my neighborhood Piggly Wiggly and ended up copping some garlic bread from the freezer aisle. It’s soooo impractical (I live by myself and these are really not meant to be consumed a slice at a time) and is a crazy expensive way to make a very cheap snack but DAMN is it good. I Recommend This Item 🌟

I love to identify birds when I am walking or traveling or just out in the world!!! It helps me make a habit of paying attention to ordinary beautiful things. Touch grass in app form one might say!!
