These Tumblr app filters are great.
This is beautiful and powerful and what it means to be a person in this world.
I used to love writing magical girl stories. Discovering powers and figuring out how to use them.
Mysterious side characters. Could they be enemies? Could they be friends? I usually don't know until we get there lol

becoming a parent has made me think about these things. especially online presence stuff. definitely need to do some social media cleanup now vs later. less online store accounts. just less accounts as much as possible. there's just so much... digital trash out there now and i don't want my kid to have to worry about it.
Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.

This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.
It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.
I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.
Good luck!

Went on vacation and hit up some book stores. Everyone in the family got something.
Physical books are the best. But I admit, I'm trying to move towards ebooks more. I just don't have enough shelf space for all the books we get.
I actually tried to sell some books to a used book store. Got some store credit, which was nice. But they didn't take all the books, lol. I had a copy of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. I guess it's old, outdated, or they had too many copies, so they wouldn't take it. I admit I never read it.
Using Libby for borrowing books from the library is awesome. I have a Nook Glowlight 4+, and I fell in love with it some more over vacation. The backlight feature is key for nighttime reading. That's when I can get most of my reading in.
Unfortunately I have to side load from my computer and use Adobe tools. But for regular non-DRM epubs, I can download on my phone, use a USB cable between phone and Nook and sideload easy peasy. My now favorite feature of Android.
