No that’s golf Real answer: that’s def not true! It depends on the suit but generally higher numbers = closer to completion?? Idk how else to describe it

Last night I wanted to be a hermit and not go to the film festival opening party so I consulted my cards hoping they’d give me an excuse to stay home but they very clearly told me to go so I was like ugh fine 🙄🙄🙄 then I met a bunch of really cool and nice and inspiring people 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

She's also correct that you can hire her to make you good music. Did you know you can just pay someone money and then there will be new art in the world? It's crazy cool.

Megan is correct! If you're in Chicago go check out my short film playing at the Chicago Horror Film Fest this weekend - I will be busy moving into my new apartment instead of being there :( but you can hang out with Megan instead :)

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

If any of you have been interested in trying Finch (self-care app where you take care of a lil bird) now is a great time to do it because all their Halloween stuff is super cute and our birds can be friends and I’ll carve you a pumpkin (I just rly want more Finch friends. I love this app, okay?!)

Sorry that last thing was a lie. Extremely 7 of swords of me, I know. If anyone wants to make that game you can have the idea for free, except I want right of first refusal to write the music. You’re welcome!!!

I’ve gotten feedback that Divinuet “lacks actual gameplay” which is true and is the whole point! If you want something that really forces you to be in the moment, that turns a tarot reading into a whole auditory and visual experience, it’s the game for you. Absolutely zero skill required to play 🔮🎶

I do have another list of things so I don’t forget anything, but Five is where all my immediate stuff goes. I need to finish something from the Five list before I can add a new thing. It really saves me from choice paralysis. So yeah I did it, I finally found the to-do list app that will fix me

I have found a new app. It’s called Five. It’s a to-do list app, but you can only have 5 things on there at a time. I love it. It keeps me from getting overwhelmed. It’s also 100% free, with no subscriptions or microtransactions or anything.
