Hi friends! This month has been incredibly busy for us— we’ve moved into our new house, while at the same time we’re continuing renovations, preparing for our gardens, etc. As such, it’s going to be a shorter moon-thly roundup, but I still have a few recommendations for y’all, including…
What I’m reading
I’ve been reading lots in the past moon cycle, check out some recent #spellbooksaturday posts for my recent recommendations! In addition, I’ve appreciated…
“It’s time we stop asking warlords how to prevent war. And start asking women.” by Celeste Davis
This essay inspired me to order Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf, so expect a #spellbooksaturday feature soon!
“On the odiousness of Margaret Atwood, and the vapidity of her novel’s Hulu adaptation” by Eris
I recently forced myself to finish the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale, and oof, what a hot mess that was.
“The Ten Warning Signs” by Ted Gioia
Grim but interesting.
What I’m watching
I’m still watching lots and lots of gardening videos on YouTube, but for movie updates, check out HWB on Letterboxd! Follow…
What I’m listening to
I’ve been pouring through audiobooks during our renovations, and will be sharing a (potentially controversial!) #spellbooksaturday for a popular fantasy trilogy in the near future!
What I’m doing
This month has been exhausting. We’ve been doing renovations, packed our apartment, moved into the new house, learned how to drive a tractor and tilled garden beds, etc. …but the thing that is giving me life right now is the calm I feel when my love and I relax at the end of a long day, looking out over the land, marveling over the fireflies— I’ve never lived somewhere with so many! Fireflies (aka “lightning bugs”) are on the decline, but for those who want to help, Firefly.org provides useful information on how you can help revitalize habitats, etc.
Congratulations! I have lots of flower seeds from my own pollinator gardens that I’m happy to share!
We should do a seed swap! I’d love to catch up… & maybe get a reading!
