The unsung sidekick on Mars - Ingenuity #nasa
I’m such a huge fan of the mars rover family <3
becoming a parent has made me think about these things. especially online presence stuff. definitely need to do some social media cleanup now vs later. less online store accounts. just less accounts as much as possible. there's just so much... digital trash out there now and i don't want my kid to have to worry about it.
Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.
HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOU’RE IN.
HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.
Featuring Helpful Sections such as:

So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit
This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.
It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.
I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.
Good luck!
(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)

I really wanted to try the HON next. It actually fits in my Liberty fabrics cover really well, even though you don't need the cover. I prefer to use it so that I can carry a pen and loose papers. Looking forward to using this as my daily journal. #hobonichi #hobonichihon #libertyfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwjVsau4vq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Anyone else find this time of year difficult? Is it wrong to say I feel a little bit of anxiety thinking about the next year? I want to be excited and hopeful, but I feel a little bit scarred by the past few years. Things have been okay, really. It just feels like impending doom sometimes. The news doesn't help.
