favorite color: black, red, all of those verdant shades of green.

currently reading: [unhinged screaming] on the docket for today is gary nash's forging freedom and cynthia radding's wandering peoples. yesterday, i read stuff about the andes and also women in plantation households. for leisure, i've been reading since this summer: tommy orange's there there, ottessa moshfegh's my year of rest and relaxation, and stephen graham jones' my heart is a chainsaw. also y'all's stories ! i don't want to jinx myself, but i'm hoping to FINALLY catch up with @ardeney-sims this weekend, among some others i'd like to at least start. if anyone has suggestions for how to keep your place in stories instead of frantically scrolling someone's blog every time ... lemme know ...

last song you listened to: uh oh. spotify says "king" by florence + the machine, which checks out.

last series watched: my watching is all over the place. lately, it's been dance moms (finished. chaos) and season two of rez dogs (so good), plus i started rewatching american horror story: coven with a friend this week. i also started fear city on netflix last night but idk if i'll go back to it. why when i can rewatch goodfellas for the 1834935th time .... oh, and fear the walking dead ! i picked it back up recently but idk if i will continue anytime soon (more zombies, less interpersonal drama that isn't about zombies). either way, it's october. should be watching scary stuff.

sweet, savory, or spicy: i like them all but i'm a savory gal at heart. i love desserts so much, and i like spicy food more than it likes me, but ultimately... pretzels make my world go 'round.

craving: OKAY SO LIKE. i wanted italian food, and then when i sat down this morning to make my dinner plans, i was like "meh... vegetables?" i am craving green things, but i ain't a quitter, so we're having salad and decadent pasta tonight. we're in a weird and not-good place this week, mentally and emotionally, that's my explanation.

tea or coffee: i like both. but ... i have coffee daily—latte, almond milk because i hate the environment or w/e obviously, no sugar—but tea is more infrequent as of late. i am a southerner through and through, tho, so i love sweet tea. that counts.

working on: everything and nothing, it feels like. grading papers. trying to stay on top of my reading list. writing grant applications. writing a historiography for my dissertation proposal. building a house for sims who haven't even been born yet. researching tattoos and testing them in cas. procrastinating revisions for my story outline. ruminating on the asks y'all've sent. whew.

tagging: anyone who wants to do it ! i think everyone i might've tagged has either done it or been tagged. but, uh, tag me so i can see your answers, if you haven't & want to.
