This all to say, it's okay to be afraid of change when you face a new path. Often, it isn't as bad as we thought it would be.

Change is challenging our comfort and consistency. And we are capable of so much when we choose it.

Trust the impact of every single action. 🖤

3/3

Sometimes, change is hard.

I have yet to leave IG and I still use Docs. I want to find better.

I use Boycat app for groceries, support small/indie/local for gifts, and all of it was new to me once.

I had no idea how to start. I picked 1 thing, and then another, it grew and so did I.

2/3

Sometimes, change is easy.

In 2025:
I switched from Stream+ to only Netflix.
I switched from Spotify to TIDAL.
I switched from a Google browser to Firefox.
I switched from IMDB to FlickFocus.
I switched from Goodreads to StoryGraph.

None of those changes make my life harder. I barely notice.

This all to say, it's okay to be afraid of change when you face it. Often, we find: it wasn't so bad. We can change.

A cute cartoon raccoon sits smiling against an orange background. Beside it, a yellow banner reads “Trash Panda Reminders.” Below are self-care reminders with little heart icons: Get enough sleep or take a nap Do what makes you happy Eat something delicious Spend some time outside Drink your water Get creative Be cute The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

Some days we need the raccoon-approved basics: rest, snacks, hydration, and being a little cute. None of these things fix everything, but they help!

‼️ 105,000. That's how many emails Ontarians have sent through our online action to Scrap Bill 5.

Since Bill 5 was introduced, First Nations leaders have been sounding the alarm.

The bill gives Ford’s Cabinet the power to override Ontario laws any where they want. 🧵

Home Library Tips 6/6

Final repost about how to navigate the MyLibrary app by Julien Keith. A great app that helps you catalogue large collections of books, manga, comics, graphic novels, movies, video games, and more!

#cataloging #collecting #manga #booksky #bookish #collection #mylibrary #tips

Literally my favourite flowers!

Home Library Tip 5/6:

Numeric sequences when listing a series on an alphabetical list can trick you! Don't forget to put a zero.

Double digit series? 01/10+
Triple digits? 001/100+

You're welcome!

When the order will not order...

Update: I use Goodreads and Google as last resorts these days, and opt for the StoryGraph or other fan-based sites, because ethics.

I am reposting my library tips posts from the other app since I deleted it. Hope this is helpful to fellow collectors! #homelibrary #tips #collector #booksky

That cake looks so good! I had to repost mine because my math was bad. I give up on guessing dates of things, lol.

Show me a pic of you before things went sideways in 2020...

I gave up a house rental for a loft, I had given up on having a child after 3 losses, and I left my job to attend uni.

Then:
1. Pregnancy success 🌈
2. Covid began 😷
3. School cancelled 🚫
