Also if y'all want spotify but dont want to give them money. There may or may not be a method in which to pirate it. That you likely can't find on internet threads like reddit. And I definitely would never endorse piracy. But if you were interested that might be the place to look for it.

This Year I am quitting all subscription services that aren't PBS, RC, and BOTM. One sort because I'm sick of supporting tech and media companies that add nothing to my life and not being able to own what I pay for. Two because they just don't need so much data on me as the creep of fascism looms

I'm trying a reading journal this year as a means to keep track of my reads and have something to look back on. Here are my first pages. It took me many hours while listening to an audiobook.

What's this another reading challenge for me to keep track of? Unheard of!

My top 10 Reads for 2025! With my #1 book for the year being When Sleeping Women Wake by Emma Pei Yin. This book stayed with me all year and truly made me more emotional than I had been years.

Shop pay installments is honestly a life saver. I bought my pre-order today with it. Which gives me a beautiful set to look forward to and still allows me to buy my immediate needs. This is such a beautiful set i cant wait to see the finalized mockups!
