Two years of bullet journals is surreal. All three agree, though- February SUCKS. When will my spring come home from the war?

Ah yes, the age old question: do I pick the witchy baddie with questionable morals or the sweet uwu nerd with no survival instinct?

I wrote another retrospective/review on a rom-com from the early '00s that no one asked for!

Is it really a story of a woman falling in love with some asshole, or is it actually about a people-pleaser's journey of self-actualization?

I think it'd still be a little iffy! Glasses work because they're transparent, and light filters on both sides. A two-way mirror might be able to work, but then we come to the issue of depth perception: one eye would be looking forward, the other back, and it would be impossible to focus on both.

As a DM, I'd say no. Even though the vampire wouldn't appear, the mirror still needs light to refract. Since their body would be physically in the way, they wouldn't see anything in it but darkness (plus, it would be way too close to the eye to actually make out detail).

Banned Book of the Day: The Color Purple by Alice Walker.

This Pulitzer-winning novel about Black womanhood and resilience has been repeatedly challenged for its honest depictions of abuse, race, and sexuality. Still essential. #BannedBooks #ReadFreely #OnlyBadGuysBanBooks

I'm doing some research on traditional versus self-publishing, and I'd love some informal/general thoughts from fellow writers. Have you done either, both? Would you lean more towards one when you finish your manuscript?

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives.

Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.
