Book 137 📚 for 2025. Disclaimer: I know the author, similar circumstances brought us together in FLA in 2012. That said, this is a must-read. The cultural milieu described is entirely a set of arbitrary patriarchal rules. Her story is harrowing. Available everywhere, including your public library.

I actually said ok to it because it was easier and I also knew she had no idea of the value of the household items she said I could have that I wanted purely for sentimental value and figured it would be an easier give. (See also: playing the long game...)

Because she treated mom poorly and was so greedy afterwards, I'm making sure that anything I have when I die I wont be coming to her or her family, but will mostly go to nonprofits. And I'll likely have a larger estate than mom. One of us is better at gaming shit out than the other. /end

Last week a coworker asked if my sister knew of my upcoming wedding. I told them no, as other than variations of "where is my money" I basically have heard nothing from her since mom died in late 2023 (and didn't really before then either). And since she got it? Nothing. So no point in it...

Book 136 📚 for 2025. A comprehensive read through early America as it was and is. I wish it had been longer. I would have liked the contributors to be freer to write more, but a thousand-page book probably scares people off topic. Still, essential. Available everywhere, including your local library.
