Currently:
- The Object of Labor: Art, Cloth, and Cultural Production - War Imagery in Women’s Textiles - The Book of Oriental Carpets and Rugs
The shelf underneath is where I put books that aren’t mine to keep (library books + loans from friends) so I don’t misplace them.

i was just going to say one or two books but really its all my books/notebooks, its also my cats perch and home to a picture i took of my gran and her cat(both have since passed away) plus ive always had this image in my head of my perfect bookshelf and then saw that exact bookshelf materialised in goodwill for $6.99 one day
its creaky and falls to the side if it doesn't have the weight of books holding it in place, been sanded to hell and was deffo some in-over-his-head suburban dads’ third woodworking project
ppl say that ‘what would u save from a fire’ thing and(besides my cat duh) im like uhh everything on my bookshelf and also the bookshelf..i think the adrenaline rush could make it possible
i also want to note that i think placement and content of ones bookshelf is the most telling to their character and holds a lot of weight for me when making judgements on our interactions, i am a snoop and i will spend no less then 10 minutes ruminating over ur books
[these are photos from a few months back and now its totally full up and i need another shelf for my overflow rip]

🗓1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
