We were in Brooklyn yesterday hanging out in my cousin’s back patio when my 6 year old twins starting jumping up and down excitedly that they’d found a bug. Of course they asked me what it was, and I wasn’t sure. So I snapped a (not great) picture to try to identify when we got home.

I was so pleasantly surprised to see it was a katydid nymph! 🥹💚 I’ve never seen a katydid outside of books - when my twins were younger they had an A-Z bug book and K was for katydid, and that was the first time I’d even heard of one!

I just love coming across new insects, especially living in such a concrete jungle.

Has anyone else found any cool insects lately?? 🦋🐞🐜🪲🐝

This is a tiny crashout.

Ive been trying to dip my toes in audio books, for no particular reason. I figured libby would be the best option for free audio books, because i heard so many good things about it from pagebound. So i looked up a few books that I wanted to read. Even though my library has a physical copy libby doesn't seem to have the audio version.

No harm no faul. Today, I went there and decided im going to see if I can listen to a non fiction gasp. Really new for me because I tend to avoid those books like the plague.

I found out that libby has this feature where you can pick topics and it'll give you a book. I was really intrigued because the options there sounded so good! I also figured that since libby doesn't have the books I want to read, why not let libby choose for me.

TELL ME WHYYY, LIBBY IS RECOMMENDING ME BOOKS IT DOESNT HAVE?!? THESE BOOKS HAVE IGNITED AN URGE IN ME TO READ NON FICTION AND LIBBY DOESNT HAVE THOSE?!?! LIBBY DOESNT HAVE SHIT! AND THAT STOOPID "Notify me 🛎" BUTTON KEEPS SHOWING UP IN EVERY BOOK I CLICK ON

deep breath AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sorry guys, I really had to let that out.
