I'm not sure if this list is complete or contains duplicates, but I read and learned a lot last year. I'm a little late posting this because Audible doesn't translate to Goodreads very easily, and I have ADHD, so when I discovered this, I took the first week of the year to teach myself how to write a program in python to scrape my audible library, connect to an ISBN library and convert all of the books' serial numbers into the numbers that Goodreads uses, and upload them in bulk.

my therapist says I overcomplicate things as procrastination, but I have no idea where she gets that idea. 😅

Oh yeah, and my 2022 book of the year is A Billion Years by !!!

don't be a smish!

the USPS does NOT send links via text, unless you have opted in for text-based tracking updates for a specific package. period.

you can also very easily report this specific type of fraud by emailing the text of the message (don't click the link) and a screenshot showing the phone number to [email protected]!

I'm sure the snark crew is all over making this available to all, but here's a sharable of Carl Daikeler's "open letter" for those of you lucky to never have ended up on that mailing list 🤦🏼‍♀️🚩🙅🏼‍♀️

Proud of the sunflower state! I had a good feeling seeing how crowded my polling place was this morning for it being basically just a republican primary aside from this amendment. YAY KANSAS!!!

(longer version with tips) Got a garage full of garbage leggings you bought from an alleged pyramid scheme and then couldn't sell because they were made out of literal farts? Maybe just a pair of workout tights you're never gonna wear again? This sweet over-the-shoulder beach/book/laptop bag took me a total of 10 minutes to make. It could very easily be done without a sewing machine--I my fingers just don't let me do anything as precise as hand-stitching anymore.

Have you upcycled any old MLM products?? I wanna do more of these and would love to see some inspiration!
