So many people I know have had this same experience of building confidence and community through social media. It’s amazing to find your people, and I’m grateful for places that celebrate writers, artists, and solopreneurs.

Maybe the coolest and most beautiful thing I’ve seen on this app so far. Wish I could heart it a thousand times.
I know I'm always the last person to stumble across the cool shit, and IDGAF that you've probably already seen this a hundred times. See it again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...

We’re halfway through Dec, and I haven’t posted my Nov reading wrap up yet, so here it is. My reading has really slumped this fall, but I will still hit my 52 book goal. The 1 thing I don’t ❤️ about StoryGraph is not counting my fanfic reads, which I personally count as 📚. #booktok #romantasy

This post really stuck with me because so many times as a writer you end up getting ghosted and projects youve dedicated months or years of your life to suddenly vanish into thin air. This business is not for the weak. open.substack.com/pub/thereals...

Not me being an OSU fan that isn’t shocked at today’s loss. Ryan Day cannot win big games. I’ve been saying this for years and ppl keep making excuses. He is the problem and instead of getting rid of him they toss him more money.

Everyone in the media needs to read this comment below. While the legacy media is telling itself the problem is disappointed voters who need a break, the truth is customers disappointed in the content they are being offered and the patronizing responses.
I unsubscribed from the Washington Post and have not been watching MSNBC. But I still subscribe to 4 or 5 newspapers and many more Substacks and magazines. I’m not tuning out. I’m just tuning into different things.

I can’t be the only one who thinks playing around in Notion is a good time. Like what did you do this weekend? Built a dashboard to track my sims save file. 😆

Kendrick dropped a whole ass album today and I still have not recovered. Whatever I was supposed to do today, did not in fact get done.

It's important to remember that although there are times we feel ok, we are not actually ok.
We can't judge ourselves for not being ok.
I use tools like writing, reading, movies, meditation, walking, yoga and dance to try to be more ok. But it will take time.
