Snarky writer and wielder of the walking stick of doom. Loves terrible puns. She/her. Anti-Fascist. Disabled.
I'm experimenting with my iPad for journaling and planning. Does anyone have any recommendations.
Ideally I'd want a note taking app that you can use with pdfs and will sync with Google calendar (and apple calendar too because we've all been burned by Google shelving stuff we were using).

One of the things about historical research is you encounter the fact that children used to die at heart-breaking rates. The cemeteries are full of tombs with zero to eleven year life spans. The correspondence mentions child death on a regular basis.

A thing I found really interesting in Sinners is that the heroes spend the movie "in disarray" (bickering, negotiating, weighing conficting motivations) while the villains move in concert, choreographed and controlled.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management.
