This is such a wonderful thing! Thanks for the hello to Stedfast..and for the rest on TDOV. That was a great event we were all at eh? Hi to you two.
Hello Ali! I saw you raising the flag for TDOV. That’s a fine way to celebrate. 😊🏳️⚧️
Congrats on being longlisted for the League's Souster award! xoxo
I added Stedfast to my TBR! I have been trying to read more poetry and I appreciate the recommendation.
Thanks for watching Bonnie! I hope you enjoy Stedfast. 😘😊
This was a great vlog! You're a very early riser. I love lavender in my black tea, too. I read I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shreya yesterday.
Thanks Angelia. Early to bed and early to rise: that’s been my pattern since I was a kid. I’m glad you had a trans-authored book to read on March 31. 🏳️⚧️
What a lovely day to share with us.
A very early morning walk, but when the dog says its time they are the boss!
I would never have thought of that sort of herb & cream cheese mix, but that looks delicious! Ill have to try something like it.
OUTside & Falling back in love look great, have to check my library !
Thank you Rebecca! A small amount of foraged herbs can go a long way when prepared like this. You could also mix them into mayo, butter or hummus. The Out Side anthology is in the Hoopla collection, if your library has that database.
@@lindysmagpiereads yes, they do have it only on Hoopla! My search also brought up what looks like a perfect option for Picture This - Outside In by Deborah Underwood with a copy at my branch, so this was an excellent rabbit trail to go down!
Lovely vlog! I’m glad you had a good visit with Nancy! 💜
Thanks Zan. I wish I had remembered to ask Nancy if I could share one or two photos of their trip to Tofino. Also, Nancy wants to surf some more AND hook Darren on the sport also.
@@lindysmagpiereads Darren and Simone both learned to surf while we were in Hawaii in 1978. I’m sure Darren would love to relearn.
@@sreilly66 I told Nancy that Darren had learned as a kid. I didn’t remember that Simone had. 🏄♂️
Great vlog, Lindy! 😊 Your teapot cozy is so cute! 🫖 I adore Hazel Jane Plante's writing and her podcast. Have you read Little Blue Encyclopedia? Kai Cheng Thom's books and Ivan Coyote's books are fantastic too. I'll have to add the comics collection to my list - it sounds like something I'd really enjoy. 🩵
Thank for your comments! 🥰
I bought a teapot cozy of the same design in a craft shop in Dunedin NZ in 2002, then someone who follows me on Litsy spotted it and mentioned she had the knitting pattern for it, so she sent it to me. I was pleased to knit myself a new cozy because the old one was getting ratty.
I adore Hazel Jane Plante also! I’ve read both of her novels and even the poetry collection her ex wrote about Plante’s transition - The Small Way by Onjana Yawnghwe. (Yawnghwe also did the artwork in Little Blue Encyclopedia.)
Does your local library have the Hoopla database? That’s where I found the trans comics anthology.
@@lindysmagpiereads I just love how small the world can be! And yes, I do have access to Hoopla - I'll be sure to check out the comics collection this month.
Bish this is so effing cool!! Thank you so much for doing this!! 🏳⚧ So many great trans books in that pile! Clocked lots of Vivek Shreya! I'm a bad trans and have yet to read Stone Butch Blues 😭 was unfamiliar with Ali Blythe, but his work sounds so good!! My Life in Transition sounds so good I want to read that ASAP!!! OMG Why have I never listened to t4t?? Oh yeah I've heard a lot of people on T can't cry, really unfortunate side effect 😔 Love Ryka Aoki & Kai Cheng Thom! Haven't been able to read Thom's new book yet! It sounds like gorgeous writing, I definitely need to pick it up soon!! I'm not big on self-help books either, but a little bit within a larger work sounds nice!
I’m a huge fan of Vivek; she’s mega multi-talented, as is Kai Cheng. In Falling Back in Love with Being Human, I realized that it didn’t matter that the self-help notes between each piece didn’t work for me because all the rest of it, the letters full of love, were exactly what I needed. A reminder that love is stronger than hate. And a reminder that the things on which we focus our energy and celebrate, those are the things that shape our outlook and how we feel about ourselves. If my only focus is on injustice and lack, I miss out on all the joy in being alive. Does that sound too self-help-y?
And yes! Seek out Julia Kaye’s cartoons. Super Late Bloomer and My Life in Transition. Funny and from the heart.
@@lindysmagpiereads no that sounds wonderful!!
