Today's Card : King of Pentacles
This is actually super reassuring and just what I needed to see right now.
Was running late again this morning and had to wait till lunch to do my daily card reading.
Today's Card - 3 of Wands
Means - planning, growth, looking ahead, turning dreams into preparation.
This is a weird cars to draw *today* because I don't have any time to work on long term plans much. But combined with what I've been drawing for the past week, I have been doing a lot of planning for a big project and that's still in progress.
@kara_dreamer I've been using the Golden Thread app because it's so convenient, and it uses reversed cards. I would agree that most of my decks don't seem set up for that, or at least the way I use them isn't.
And again, since I've been using this app and seeing the reversed meanings, I can appreciate the added nuance and understand why people use them. But it's probably not something I'm going to bring back into my own decks, at least not now.
Today's Card: Hanged Man, reversed
Key Words: needless sacrifice, stalling, fear of sacrifice
Ok so I'm switching over to my own decks with no reversed cards soon. I can see better now how reversed meanings work, but it's still kind of weird to me. Positive card, reverse, oops downsides. Negative card, reverse, MORE DOWN SIDES. I know those are huge oversimplifications, but that's how it feels (not necessarily how it *is*).
That said, "needless sacrifice" and fear that it was for nothing applies to pretty much my entire professional life, tbh. Both my master's (no job) and my training as a pharmacy tech (job having problems). At least I have my writing.
Hey y'all. I know it's been a few days. I've been busy with some things.
I'm taking commissions right now. In general, I'll draw any request, but for now I'm advertising profile images. I'm asking $25, and I can style it however you'd like.
I posted this on BIrdsite and Crumblr, and Kit suggested I post here. I was nervous about the self promotion, but at this point, after this month, I'll have no money to support myself. If you could please, please Boost this post, I'd appreciate even that.

As The Crow Flies, by Melaine Gillman http://www.melaniegillman.com/?p=96
I succeeded at giving myself a haircut! It is not the cute haircut I wanted but it's not the worst haircut I've ever had either and it will grow. Next time I will probably be less ambitious and just pay someone who knows what they're doing to make it cute.
It's my day off! Goals include cutting and dyeing my hair, reading some comics, and having fun with friends.
Today's Card: Page of Pentacles.
Key Words: Dreams, Desire, New Opportunity.
Woo!
More seriously re: Finding Dory & disability
I had heard that this was a really good movie for disability representation. I hadn't heard that there was so much on a sort of DIY-accessibility and self-advocacy and that's really cool. Different concerns, but I relate a lot to Dory being so scared of getting lost and being alone.
And also I know well that feeling of "I did it!" the first time and every time I do something I didn't think I could and manage to find my way through it. My first thought is always "I can't do this by myself" but when I realize I *can* do something like navigate a city alone I want to do it every chance I get.
Good job, movie.
Ok, Finding Dory was adorable. I cried the whole time. But also I learned that otters are the cutest things on the planet and friends are important and good. (I mean, I knew that second one but can't have too many reminders.)
Last night I watched Lilo & Stitch and now I'm watching Finding Dory because I like crying I guess. Moana's next, probably.
@Mycroft *GASP*
Yes, yes I do want to play it!
Fun facts, this is my mom's favorite game and when I was a kid I got it out without permission to play with my sister and it got lost in my room and I haven't played it since.
So I don't remember a lot. But I'm pretty sure it was fun and easy to learn.
I'm awake! And not just typical "hey it's morning I'm up I guess" but like actually fully awake. Weird.
Yesterday's Tarot card was about blocked or wasted potential, so today I wanted to focus on how to make the most of what I've got.
Today's Card: King of Wands, reversed. A quote from the description (on Golden Thread "His visions of what could be might be so grand that they are unrealistic."
That's...pretty good advice actually. Focus on small and close and what I can do right now rather than huge results.
Am I...am I actually thinking about going to bed before 9:30??? Man, I really am sick.
My boss is moving onto a better job for her soon and she told me not to get anything for her but I <3 her too much so I just ordered her cute gifts and I really hope they get here before she leaves.
@TaxDan Yay! I will try to write this weekend too. I've been struggling with motivation but you inspired me.
Hello, friends and friend-adjacent types!
I slept basically *all day* yesterday and still slept through my alarm and barely made it to work on time this morning. But I am here! And on my lunch break so I can do my Tarot reading now.
Today's Card: Ace of Coins, reversed
Deck, why do you have to be such a bummer lately, huh? Take a nap or something, sheesh.
@kara_dreamer @mawr what do you call a fish with no eyes?

A "FSH"
(that one maybe works better when said in person)
@Mycroft Ugh, classy. :-/
