Sometimes, change is easy.

In 2025:
I switched from Stream+ to only Netflix.
I switched from Spotify to TIDAL.
I switched from a Google browser to Firefox.
I switched from IMDB to FlickFocus.
I switched from Goodreads to StoryGraph.

None of those changes make my life harder. I barely notice.

Some days we need the raccoon-approved basics: rest, snacks, hydration, and being a little cute. None of these things fix everything, but they help!

I'll have a vendor booth and be selling more than just books. I have prints, stickers, and handpainted items ready.

Hope to see you there!

‼️ 105,000. That's how many emails Ontarians have sent through our online action to Scrap Bill 5.

Since Bill 5 was introduced, First Nations leaders have been sounding the alarm.

The bill gives Ford’s Cabinet the power to override Ontario laws any where they want. 🧵

Home Library Tips 6/6

Final repost about how to navigate the MyLibrary app by Julien Keith. A great app that helps you catalogue large collections of books, manga, comics, graphic novels, movies, video games, and more!

Home Library Tip 5/6:

Numeric sequences when listing a series on an alphabetical list can trick you! Don't forget to put a zero.

Double digit series? 01/10+
Triple digits? 001/100+

You're welcome!

Home Library Tips 4/6

When the order will not order...

Update: I use Goodreads and Google as last resorts these days, and opt for the StoryGraph or other fan-based sites, because ethics.

MyLibrary app shortcuts. This works on a few other popular cataloging apps as well.

Show me a pic of you before things went sideways in 2020...

I gave up a house rental for a loft, I had given up on having a child after 3 losses, and I left my job to attend uni.

Then:
1. Pregnancy success 🌈
2. Covid began 😷
3. School cancelled 🚫

Haaaaaa...

"Where My Lore Started"

This trend is a throwback to days when I did cartoon challenges on socials. Here is my movie version of this fun challenge.
