What is the name for these mirrors in hotel bathrooms that illuminate every pore and hair on your face and how can we get them outlawed in all 50 states

At least the people who stole my credit cards and had a shopping spree at Target, Starbucks, and the liquor store left my license and insurance card. Super considerate of them honestly.

Set a goal this year to get 100 rejections. Didn’t reach the goal, but I did get a new job, publish a couple pieces, and make headway in my novel publication journey. Reflecting on how reframing expectations can take the pressure off and free up space to achieve the desired outcome. HNY, friends!

Oh yeah I’m fine I just remembered a poem I wrote for a college workshop and briefly died of embarrassment but don’t worry I’ll be back to normal soon

felt self-conscious about posting my thanksgiving plate but then I remembered I only have 11 followers so I’m doing it anyways! I don’t care! Call me basic!
