39F looking for a few genuine, long-term friends

Hi everyone! I’m a 39-year-old woman hoping to meet a few people who are also looking for genuine, long-term friendships. I'm located in Citrus heights but have no issues driving to hang.

A little about me: I enjoy reading, watching movies, crafting, gardening, and spending time hanging out by the river. I've been described as "quirky" and sometimes have a difficult task finding my people. Not a big fan of small talk and I like to get into deep conversations.i would love to find people I can chat with regularly, grab coffee or food with, or eventually hang out with in regularly in person. Maybe book or crafting club??

I’m not looking to collect a huge list of acquaintances—just hoping to find a few good people who are kind, genuine, and interested in building an actual friendship over time.

If you’re also looking for some new friends, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself! 😊

Anyone confront their low contact HP about growing up in a hoard?

I've been low contact with my mom since moving out about 16 years ago. She's now elderly, lives by herself with no family around. Every time I speak with her I get the same stories I've heard my whole life about how tired she is, how depressed she is, how financially she struggles, so on. She never asks how I am. From this sub, and therapy, and reflections on my childhood, I've been able to see how deeply narcissistic,neglectful and emotionally abusive she was during my childhood.

Even so, of course I still feel guilty for her situation. Im sure many of you can relate. My question is, do I bring up the hoard? Should I confront her about the ways it warped my childhood and development? Is there even a point? Did any of you confront your parents about it? What was the outcome?

June reads

Famesick really hit for me, as someone dealing with chronic illness. Not weird girl lit but I enjoyed the Divine Rivals duology more than I thought I would.

May 34-43

Had some really enjoyable reads this month. Lady Tremaine was my favorite. I usually don't go for historical fiction but it was so entertaining.

Did not care for Klara and the sun. It was very lackluster for me

Filling for crash pad

Has anyone made a crash pad? My autistic daughter would really benefit from one, but $200 is not in our budget. It looks simple enough, just a big pillow. However I'm wondering what to use for the filling.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm looking for historical fiction books that are easy to read. I have a stressful life and I need some escape that isn't more work. Some ones I've enjoyed have been the wolf den ,lady Tremaine and all the light you cannot see.

Specialized libraries on Libby

Hi all, I know we're all always on the lookout for free libraries that are open to all. I wanted to share two I came across on Libby-- Organization for Autism Research (OAR) and Queer Liberation Library (QLL). Both are free and anyone can sign up.

I would also love to know if anyone else has come across free libraries on Libby that specialize on certain topics or serve a particular group.

Great month! My favorites were Life hacks for little alien, the new me, and everything is tuberculosis.

I might have to increase my yearly goal.
