i am back from vacation

I forgot to mention I was going on vacation in the first place but anyway! I went to Cape Cod and saw lots of cool animals, swam in the ocean with seals, hiked through a bunch of saltwater marshes and got the worst sunburn on my face only. I also finished a good book (Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami) and started a nonfiction book that is also good but pretty depressing (Golden Wings and Hairy Toes: Encounters with New England's Most Imperiled Wildlife by Todd McLeish).

I really wish Dreamwidth had some kind of like/emoji reaction/non-verbal way of letting people know you've read and enjoyed posts. Of all the negative things Web 2.0 social media brought about, I don't think likes were one of them. Lacking an immediate, nonverbal way to show I've read a post is like 99% of the reason I keep abandoning DW as a social place tbh.
