I love seeing all the cool projects that my friends and mutuals take on! Creativity and passion being directed towards so many different kinds of things, according to our skills and abilities and drive! It's an endless delight 💖

One of the nice things about having a sibling is that she shares and understands many of my formative childhood references. I told her about learning to use the buttonhole attachment for one of my sewing machines and she immediately quoted Uncle Alec from the book Eight Cousins -- exactly what I was thinking about as I did the buttonholes!

I'm really enjoying the new Porter Talk series on the Discover Library & Archives Canada podcast! Featuring lots of recordings of interviews with black sleeping car porters in Canada in the 20th century, getting to hear in their words and voices what experiences they had and what they thought about things, with contextualisation from the podcast host and expert guests.
Stanley Grizzle was a porter and union activist who became deeply interested in preserving archival information about porters, and he took on the project of interviewing as many porters as he could. His fonds includes 30 hours of cassette recordings of interviews! One loves to hear of these kinds of people who decide something is important even when nobody else at the time values it, and go to great length to preserve and archive it.
You can find the podcast here, with 3 episodes of porter talk so far: https://library-archives.canada.ca/eng/collection/engage-learn/podcast/pages/podcasts.aspx

Recently I was reminded why I do not do jigsaw puzzles at home. I cannot be chill about jigsaw puzzles. If there is an incomplete jigsaw puzzle in my vicinity I WILL be working on it until it is done. Non-stop. I simply can't leave it be! It is the most more-ish of perhaps any activity I know, for me!
My parents basically had to shove me out the door when I was visiting them the other night, because I was working on a puzzle with my mom at their house, and it reached my parents' bedtime, lol.

Very funny how so many novels are thematically about The Power Of Stories. Why yes you would think that stories are powerful, author, wouldn't you! You're a storyteller.
But also. Authors are 100% correct in using this theme because stories ARE powerful! It always hits because it's the truth!
But then I would think that, wouldn't I. I am a person who loves stories!
