This might be old news to some but if you're someone who likes to track their reading I highly recommend Storygraph. They provide you with much more interesting data about your reading habits (graphs!) are Black woman founded and run, not affiliated at all with amazon like Goodreads is, and have a more interactive rating system that gives better insight than just stars. What's even better is they have a way to import your goodreads data if you already feel invested in that app. Divest from amazon and delete ur goodreads!! :) :)

The StoryGraph app has single-handedly reinvigorated my reading habit. Super simple and no frills interface, and a great independently owned alternative to Goodreads (they can even transfer your profile over!)
As a big Letterboxd user, having a way to log and track and check things off is very satisfying, and helps me get that little hit of external validation.
I don’t really follow people on StoryGraph or use it for social stuff or thorough reviews, but it’s a great way to keep track of what you’ve read, what you’re reading, and what you want to read.
Please note I’ve only read 6 or 7 books this year, but that still feels like an improvement on last year, and approaching a return to form.

I think if you're in a position to quit your job and rest/work on something you care about, I would do it. That kind of opportunity doesn't come often, and most people will never have it. I'd say especially if you're facing chronic pain or having doctors order you to rest, you'll only regret NOT resting and prioritising your health. Capitalism continues to win when we work our entire lives away.

Side project by Alice Phoebe Lou, just saw her perform last week and it took my breath away. This is her funkier side.

I just recently got this pair from HeelBoy (canadian store) and love them! They're a lil different from the ballet flats I used to wear in like 2013 and I like the Mary-jane detail and square toe. I have to say though I don't mind following trends and appreciate when they show me a style/item in a new light, especially with all of the 90s/00s revivals. But I bet you can make it your own :)
