It's great when #StreetArt is relevant to where it's situated. It makes the work so much more engaging for passers-by! Thanks for sharing, @heib20.bsky.social, it brought a smile to my face when I saw your post. (You're right - it really is a ready-made photo backdrop!)

Buy books for the kids in your life. There are books that are so popular that the library near me has 8 month long waiting lists, there is an opportunity to help kids who want to read the popular books from book tok ect, ask kids what they have on their tbr and fulfill their wishes 😌💕
