I Was Forced To Use A Credit Card To Pay Rent, And It Only Got Worse From There! 🤪

Yeah, so. Basically, last November, I had to use my credit card to pay rent for the month, and then found myself quickly sinking further and further into debt because of interest and other fees even though I have been making payments and not using the card at all. What progress I manage to make gets largely erased by interest, and, yeah, I’d like to Not be stuck in this situation for years paying my November rent many times over.

Images from this years Kumoricon 2023! Portland is such a fun city, and my good friends Deb & Brian drove down from Seattle to hang out for the weekend. I got to meet voice actors Dani Chambers and J. Michael Tatum (he's really TALL by the way!). Happy to see RWBY cosplay still out there in the wild (Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna) as well as Old and New Vash the Stampede. Even some Barbie cosplay! I flew out on Thursday to PDX (after several delays and a VERY bumpy ride until we passed the Rockies), at lunch at PDX in the same bar & grill at PDX (Hopworks) with the same bartender, whom I greeted. I then went straight to the Oregon State Convention Center after a quick ride on the Red MAX Line Train (light rail). It was late enough in the day that I was able to check into my hotel room at the Hyatt Regency without delay. I dropped off my things and promptly got on TriMet Bus #77 to the local Safeway grocery store, and came back with 2 six packs of PNW craft brew in tow and some distilled water for my CPAP. I got snacky late at night and had a Tuna Poke Bowl at the hotel bar in the Lobby, then I went back upstairs and binged Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix on my iPad until like 4am, then snoozed for a few hours before getting up for the breakfast buffet to start my day at the con. Unfortunately the viewing room had technical issues so some of the anime content I wanted to watch I couldn't at the scheduled times, which was annoying. I got to meet Dani Chambers and had her autograph a character print of a Chibi version of Chise from Ancient Magus Bride, then had a California chicken sandwich at Red Robin and then met my friends at the hotel. They had to go to pick up their badges so I got in line for the AMV Contest screening. It took my friends 2.5 HOURS to clear registration, which was a nightmare. Deb ended up catching only the final category, so we made time to watch the encore AMV Contest screening Sunday morning. They went back to Seattle on Sunday after lunch but I attended the AMV Contest Winners reveal screening which was also fun. We did at least watch the AMV Aftershow on Saturday before grabbing dinner at the hotel restaurant. We watched Kaze-san and Morning Glories (English Dub) in the viewing room Friday evening then went out separate ways. Saturday we did shopping in the Dealer's Room/Artist Alley, then took the Blue MAX Line train over into the West bank side of Portland. We had a sushi lunch then appetizers at Deschutes Brewery (a Portland institution!) then rode the streetcar back to catch the Red MAX Line train back to the hotel. We attended a panel called Laugh Out Loud AMVs that was actually more like a game show and not very good. We did get a few laughs at the end but we kinda wish the whole panel had been that way. We got some to-go dinners from Burgertime and unfortunately Deb & Brian were pooped out and retired to their room while I attended the AMV Classics panel which was GREAT. All in all, it was a great trip and I still love Kumoricon (my 2nd time, back to back) and I really like Portland, Oregon. It's probably one of my favorite out of state cons now. I even worked up the courage to Cosplay as Lum's Dad from Urusei Yatsura. Not the best, I know, but best I could throw together as an amateur on my budget. I did that Friday when the weather was best.

inspired slightly by @desertdollranch, what would your doll choose to buy or put in a snowglobe?

here's my dolls' answers!

Kai: "I want a snowglobe of a powerful, inspiring woman of color. Like Deb Haaland, or AOC!"

Lenore: "something floral. maybe a flower fairy?"

Remy: isn't really into snowglobes, but would like one with disney Hercules, or a Final Fantasy character.

Jeannie: a snowglobe of her favorite city, maybe one of the Portland bridges? no, of the city her dad lives in. (this is when i realized we're having a moment and that Jeannie's dad doesn't live with them??) I'd created an older sister for Jeannie, and their dynamic, and thought about how her parents would interact with Remy's moms. but i'd only thought about her moms. i think either jeannie's parents are divorced, or her dad left and lives in another state. (hmmm, this doesn't remind me of my life, not a bit) but either way her dad isn't very cool with the gays so that adds a whole new dynamic to her story!

Yukiko: "a snowglobe of Duffy! oh OH, no one of the Disney Partners statue!!"

Dani: "a dead body!" dani, wtf "or, a murder weapon! and the water would be red with red glitter, and..." honey, go to therapy please "fiiiiiine, like a mermaid. except its a siren, one of the ones who lurge men to their deaths and eat them..." dani we're done, thanks

Zuzu: "a ballerina. or my family. or, the nutcracker! no wait, Charlotte Debes as the first Black Marie in the NYC Nutcracker!" and then i hyperfocused to remember her name and then found her book as an ebook from my library....

Robyn: wants a cute animal. no preference, she'll buy any cute animal one. would also totally buy a cute rainbow snowglobe for pride

Marisol: would absolutely buy a dreidel-themed hunaukkah snowglobe. would also get a Charlotte debres one, and ones of other ballet characters. hoops, odette, the nutcracker.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

June 29, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

Last week, Florida governor Ron DeSantis became the latest Republican governor to sign a bill making it harder for citizens to shift away from the fossil fuels that are changing the climate. The move came after Miami, which is in danger as sea levels rise, proposed cutting carbon emissions by banning natural gas infrastructure in new buildings. The bill was written by lawyers for utility companies, based on a pattern written by the American Gas Association. Lobbyists for the Florida Petroleum Association, the Florida Natural Gas Association and the Florida Retail Federation, the Florida Home Builders Association, and the National Utility Contractors Association of Florida supported the bill.

Nine other Republican states have already passed similar legislation.

Republican-led states are defending the use of fossil fuels in other ways. News that President Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, was urging major U.S. banks to invest responsibly with an eye to the climate crisis, led the state treasurers of West Virginia, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and South Dakota to write to him expressing their “deep concern” that he, along with other members of the Biden administration, was pressuring banks “to refuse to lend to or invest in coal, oil, and natural gas companies, as a part of a misguided strategy to eliminate the fossil fuel industry in our country.” They accused the Biden administration of “picking economic winners and losers” according to “Biden’s own radical political preferences,” and thus depriving “the people” of agency.

Coal, oil, and natural gas are crucial to their states’ economies, they said, providing “jobs, health insurance, critical tax revenue, and quality of life.” They warned that they would withhold public funds from any banks that refused to lend to fossil fuel industries.

And yet, historically, the government has picked fossil fuels as a winner that outranks any other energy source. While Republicans tend to claim any spending for alternative energies is wasteful, a recent report by the Stockholm Environment Institute, a nonprofit think tank, says that U.S. subsidies to new oil and gas projects inflate their value by up to $20 billion per year. This would seem to fly in the face of Republican complaints about “socialism” in which the government picks winners and losers.

A recent Morning Consult poll shows that 50% of voters say climate change is a critical threat to America. Another 26% think it is important, but not critical. Among Democrats, 75% think climate change is crucial, while another 17% say it is important. Among Republicans, 21% say that climate change is crucial, while another 37% say it is important, but not crucial.

With this support for addressing climate change, why do Republicans appear to be dead set against dealing with it in a meaningful way and instead are propping up the fossil fuels that feed that change?

At the nomination hearing for now–Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, who has promised to protect our lands, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, told Haaland that his state collects more than a billion dollars a year in royalties and taxes from the oil, gas, and coal produced on federal lands in the state, and warned that the Biden administration is “taking a sledgehammer to Western states’ economies.”

Oil produces the most revenue for Texas, which earned $16.3 billion from oil in 2019, an amount that made up 7% of the state’s revenue. Oil revenues accounted for 70% of state revenues ($1.1 billion) in Alaska in 2019, 52% of state revenues ($2.2 billion) in Wyoming in 2017, and 45% of the revenues ($1.6 billion) in North Dakota in 2017.

But production declines in the past year due to the coronavirus pandemic have hurt these fossil fuel states. Wyoming expects to have 29% less money than it expected in 2021–2022. Alaska expects an estimated 18% budget deficit in fiscal 2021. Without money coming in from fossil fuels, people will have to make up the difference by paying taxes, an unpopular outcome, especially in Republican-dominated states, or by losing even more services.

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels will also cost current jobs, and one of the hallmarks of an economy developed around an extractive industry is that it tends to have little flexibility. The rural American West was developed around extractive economies, with a few wealthy men employing lots of workers, and its limited economy means that workers cannot transition easily into other fields.

Fossil fuel advocates also contribute mightily to Republican campaigns, adding financial interest to party members’ general dislike of regulation. In Florida, utility companies employ an average of one lobbyist for every two legislators. “It’s no secret we play an active role in public policy,” a spokesman for a Florida utility told Rolling Stone’s Tim Dickinson in 2016.

This week, in the Pacific Northwest, temperatures in Portland, Oregon, reached 115°F; Seattle hit 108°. Canada hit its highest temperature on record: 116°F in British Columbia. Roads are buckling and power cables melting. In the New York Times today, climate scientist Michael Mann and climate communicator Susan Joy Hassol warned that the conditions of our earth will only get worse unless we do something. But, they wrote, “A rapid transition to clean energy can stabilize the climate, improve our health, provide good-paying jobs, grow the economy and ensure our children’s future.”

When Lucy Lovett (Ashley Greene) falls and bumps her head she wakes up with a wedding dress in her hand but only remembers Zach Callahan (Andrew Walker), the fianceé she broke up with two years ago in Bedford Harbor, Maine, but not current fiancé Brad Martin (Clayton Chitty) in Portland, where she runs an art foundation. Lucy learns from Dr. Caroline Albright (Jackée Harry) that she is suffering from retrograde amnesia, which should soon pass. As she drives from Portland to Bedford Harbor with her friend Anna (Donna Benedicto), Lucy reminisces about the family cabin left to her by her Aunt Audrey, who founded the art foundation Lucy now runs. Lucy throws herself into all the Christmas traditions she used to participate in with Zach, hoping it will jog her memory about their breakup and allow her to move on. She attends the annual Harbor Skate with Zach, where his brother Beau (Preston Vanderslice) strikes up an immediate friendship with Anna. Zach’s current girlfriend Morgan LeBlanc (Debs Howard) shows up and awkwardness ensues among the trio. Zach takes Lucy to buy a tree and she wants to know why they broke up but he is not ready to talk to her about it, leaving her still in the dark. Brad surprises Lucy in Bedford Harbor, and during the snowman building competition, Lucy/Brad and Zach/Morgan don’t really make good teams, while Beau/Anna win. Lucy enters The Silent Night Pie Auction and Zach makes the winning bid for her pie, while Brad ends up winning the one baked by Morgan. Brad decides to go back to Portland and breaks off the engagement with Lucy, telling her it’s obvious she has unresolved feelings for Zach. Lucy leads the children in a Christmas-themed art project and loves doing it. Morgan tells Zach she sees his unresolved feelings for Lucy and sweetly breaks off their relationship, letting him off the hook, so to speak. Lucy helps Zach decorate the Roadhouse Restaurant. Lucy realizes that her role as CEO of her Aunt Audrey’s art foundation is totally bureaucratic and that she has not been following her passion there. Lucy finally remembers the breakup, and that it was Zach who broke it off with her, which is why she ran away to Portland two years earlier to lose herself in taking over the art foundation. Furious at Zach for letting her think all this time that she had broken up with him, Lucy walks away from him. Back in Portland, a long-lost letter from her Aunt Audrey tells Lucy everything she needs to know in order to get her life back on the right track. With her memory completely resolved and a new sense of clarity, Lucy makes the trip back to Bedford Harbor to find Zach. What happens next will either close the door on her past with Zach or pave the way for a beautiful future together.

 Lots of nominations are out. I do have some faves: The Grammy’s went crazy for Lizzo and Billie Eilish. The comedy recording noms went to Trevor Noah, Ellen, Aziz, Gaffigan and Dave Chappelle.**The Sag’s gave love to Leo and Brad for Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood, Of course, Joaquin was nominated for Joker. Most noms went to JJ Rabbit, The Irishman and Bombshell.  In TV there was much ado about The Morning Show, The Crown, Barry, Big Little Lies, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Schitt’s Creek.** The Golden Globes which will air on Jan. 5 were full of great choices. Fingers crossed for Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips for Joker, Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood and Quentin and Brad and Leo, Knives Out, Kathy Bates, Jodie Comer, Olivia Coleman, Billy Porter, Bill Hader and Henry Winkler and Barry. I hope good things for The Crown, Succession, Patricia Arquette, Helena Bonham Carter, Brian Cox and Kieran Culkin. Ellen DeGeneres will get the Carol Burnett award and Tom Hanks will receive the Cecil B. DeMille award.

*****

And Hooray to Schitt’s Creek for their PSA at the end of an episode that was about a character coming out to his parents. The promo gave resources to turn to for help.**The crew met up recently at the Paley Fest after the end of the series.

*****

Finally.. The Pope has abolished pontifical secrecy. It’s 2020 and the church may finally stop protecting predators. The age of consent for their porn was raised from 14 to 18 to keep up with modern times.

*****

Days of our Lives has been renewed for another year. We are safe until September 2021.**I am really hating Kate right now. I wish Rolf would take them all down.  I am quite thru with the ‘acting’ of pushing buttons on phones and computers which leads us to read their messages on the screen. I do not like it in real life and I don’t want to watch it. Boring!!

*****

The Patriot act has been reauthorized.

*****

Sara Gilbert has separated from wife Linda Perry.

*****

Sharon Stone was blocked on Bumble because users thought it wasn’t really her, it was and her account was restored.

*****

The new film, Linda Ronstadt: the sound of my voice shows just how far her reach has been.

*****

Kudos to Eddie Murphy and company for the fab ‘Dolemite is my name.’

*****

I saw that the Bachelor is back. Is that horrid show still on?

*****

Steve Bullock is out.** Kamala Harris is out. Scary Clown tweeted: Too bad. We’ll miss you Kamala. She tweeted back: Don’t worry Mr. President, I’ll see you at your trial.** Biden is on the No Malarkey tour.

*****

Willie Nelson has reportedly quit smoking weed.

*****

Word is that Trump wears Switzerland’s Bronx face makeup for that orange glow.** Have you seen Rand Paul lately. He seems to have taken on a similar look to his President with the big white puffy eyes and that deranged look. What is going on with these people?

*****

Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux will star in a series about Watergate from the Veep team.

*****

Billy Dee Williams tells us that he identifies as male and female.

*****

About 1 million kids are getting thrown off lunch subsidies and other programs.** A recent Rolling Stone article explains the evangelical support of Trump.  An early campaign meeting with religious leaders promised to fuck with the rights of transgender folks, abortion rights and to leave climate change alone because of the belief that God will control that. So, with that thinking should we shut down the factories because those are man made? Should we all be Christian scientists and not practice medicine anymore? Word is that the big money donors for Trump are helping to prop up their institutions and charities. **Christianity Today magazine : Trump should be removed from office. To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, remember who you are and whom you serve. ** On Dec. 8, the President tweeted 108 times.

The last democratic debates of the year were here and again there was not enough time for Andrew Yang. He did well when he got the time and got to promote his book without that sounding too bad after he was asked whet gift he might give another candidate. Warren made a sound bite with her “wine cave” crack which just made her look petty. Biden and Bernie sounded the same as always. Amy Klobuchar had the best night. She was not shaky and seemed so confident.  Trevor Noah seemed thrilled that he was mentioned. The sound on the microphones was a bit prickly.

Ok.. I’ll hand it to Dolly Parton. She has been putting her story songs on the screen in Heartstrings. They are a little “Hallmarky” so they wouldn’t really be my thing but it’s Dolly so sure I’ll give it a go. They celebrate all kinds of love which is a beautiful thing . One story had a beautiful performance b Gerald McRaney.

The President was impeached on Dec 18. There were plenty of objections and rants from the republicans like they were children. The idiocy that comes out of their mouths is astonishing. Doug Collins, Deb Lasko and Louie Gohmert just seem insane. I don’t understand why there was not more push back when they kept up their mantra about nothing in the Mueller report when we can all see that there was. We are not all stupid. In the end some sort of consequence was finally brought to the man who has been accused of so much in his life. In formal impeachment proceedings there is no executive privilege. Pelosi is mulling over when to send the case to the senate. It is probably a good idea to let POTUS stew over the holidays.

Trump fans were upset when Canada broadcast Home Alone 2 with their President cut out. They called it political but it was found that it had been cut for ad time long before his campaign even began.

Both of whom are in the same room and we each have a desk. (Ima have to request a standing desk :O) anywayss. Got a company laptop - thank god it’s not bulky. And then i’ve got two monitors on my desk too! #bless

Then jlw went through more ux stuff with me and i also went to a stand up meeting. Like. Those are real man. Then went to company lunch! Where new hires introduce themselves and i realize that i have never used a dishwasher before and everyone was shookt lol.

Afterwards, i went to a sprint meeting AND BOIIIII PLANNING POKER DOE??? Lololol. I have to say i did not understand a single thing that was going on. Took about an hour and a half…

Anyways. went back in where jlw continued where she left off and then finally let me read some onboarding stuff on my own before she headed out at 4 and then me, leaving swiftly at 4 as well LOL

SO that was my first day! Trying to get everything in order - i hope that everything goes great and that i learn lots and lots! :> although…windows computer already killing me, no wonder people use mouses instead of the trackpad. Also…gotta learn Axure + in depth photoshop so…WOOT WOOT

Oh and we also have a huge snack cabinet i might just become a potato

Light snowfall is so pleasant :>

Bucketlist checklist:

Eat alone - check! First lunch break :> (exciting!)

Second day - drank too much coffee while i’m still weak against caffeine. It’s 1:26am. HNNNGH

Ya gurl cut her finger on a tape measure lmfaooo

Alice came two weekends in a row to help me buy and build stuff and daymn. That was some hard work and tbh i only built a shelf and a bed LOOOOL I think ima go for the sofa + table rather than the desk. I think it might work! Also went to ashun market. Good weekend :>

I went bowling today!! It was an engineering celebration so i thought - why not, let’s be social for a little bit. And it turned out to be fun~ we had some fuds and i played two rounds. And I got a strike in one of the rounds! Woot woot. Anyways. It was enjoyable, not as awkward as i had envisioned. Also i was able to successfully catch the bus home so that was great :>

I think i’m reverting back to my eating habits because there are ENDLESS SNACKS IN THE OFFICE. Oh dear

Really actually thinking about that dicon photobook because the pictures are so nice :<

Lmao my manager went to ucsd when marshall was still called third im

In other news. It looks like my one on one anxiety wont dissipate soon. Esp since last week, the vp of engineering just sent me a calendar invite for a one on one and i literally got stressed out for a straight 30 min before i said yes to the invite and could slowly go back to focusing on work lol…. EDIT: it ended up being around 15 minutes and i did not really enjoy it at all

We are bulletproof pt 2 came on today while i was walking and i still cannot believe that the first lines still got me smiling like a fckin idiot

Ok so i finally talked to this girl at work (who i think is really pretty omfg) the other day and she’d been curling her hair recently and as we were walking out of the bathroom i was like I REALLY LIKE YOUR HAIR And then she said my hair is so straight and healthy - “do you straighten it? It’s really pretty” and i’m just over here crying on the inside because it looks like hay and only happened to be really straight that day for god knows what reason. SO BASICALLY THE STARS ALIGNED JUST SO WE COULD HAVE THIS CONVERSATION Also she said she recently bought a curler that just “does it for you” and gurl i need that because idk how to DO ANYTHING TO MY HAIR UGH

I woke up with the blankets already nicely proportioned off the sides of my bed - so i just crawled out without making my bed today lool

Thought i could handle watching burn the stage but i saw the screenshot of jungkook lying down and it already broke my heart Need to be secluded with some tissues ;__;

A two day trip to see The Rose in seattle or a five day trip in san diego… 🤔🤔🤔

last day of march went to lunch with my coworkers for the first time and i actually enjoyed it! it was fun :> glad that my coworker actually dropped by the office to invite us to lunch~

good friday today because:

lunch was good

really honestly did nothing because we were troubleshooting visual studio

also basically did nothing because double sprint planning and retro LOL

HEADING HOME FOR THE WEEKEND UNTIL WEDNESDAY

#gotpaid

but no joke, on the ride to the airport, i got carsick and i honestly didn’t even know that was possible but if you think about it, i basically haven’t been on any kind of transportation for at least a month… also my uber driver is like some viet gangsta or something that gets pulled into the room every time he tries to go to canada O_O LOL

Deadass trying to save money but The rose concert in seattle, want to make an sd trip, want the 2k18 asia trip But also bts comeback sometime during the first half of the year and SUDDENLY WANNA ONE IS GOING TO HAVE A WORLD TOUR??? Dammit dude DAMMIT

My heart dies a little every time my coworker comes by and invites me to lunch with everyone *ugly sobs* Dies a little in a good way - just for clarification LOL

Mom dyed my hair for me! And it was darker than i thought BUT GREAT. Curiously enough, after two washes…it’s already lightening?? NO PLEASE STAY DARK. PLEASE. EDIT: lol i realized there was another “mother dyed my hair” somewhere on top lel. just for clarification - nobody else dyes my hair including myself cause i am incapable lOL

omfg i just saw the we bare bears x spao collab AND THEN FOUND THE ADVENTURE TIME X SPAO CLOTHES, SO CUTE!!! the jake and bmo hoodie )):

didn’t realize that i missed them so much ;__; we thought we would all die with the black hair but actually they just killed us with softness good thing they didn’t come out with foreheads lOL

okay lol basically that’s it because nothing happens in my life although i realze that i video recorded a lot of experiences and they’re all just video files sitting on my phone and that’s why maybe i haven’t been writing any everyday things down :O will i ever edit them? unclear

in any case - planning lots of fun things for the months to come hopefully!

My Year of MFMM – 2018

To the MFMM fans, the biggest news of 2018 had to be the filming of Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears. Following the press release in May, Every Cloud re-opened the crowdfunding campaign in June. The filming started in October and wrapped in November. The cast and crew (Nathan Page, Tony Tilse, Roger Lanser, among several others) brought us along with their journey by posting photos on Instagram.

Some enthusiastic fans traveled from near and far to play extras in the movie as part of their crowdfunding campaign rewards. They generously shared their journey with us via posts on Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr. We were immensely appreciative, of course, yet envious at the same time. They were privy to information about the movie that we were all dying to know, but they wouldn’t (and couldn’t) share with the rest of the class due to the confidentiality agreements. The suspense was killing us, but it also heightened the anticipation of the film release this year. I literally cannot wait!

Another big event was Miss Fisher Con 2018 (June 28-30 in Portland, Oregon). The attendance almost tripled from the year before (160+ registered this year from 7 countries). The panel presentations covered various interesting topics, such as Egyptomania in the 1920s, the Sociology of Miss Fisher, Surreptitious Entry of Locks & Safes, Sex Positivity in the Fisherverse, Classic Cocktails & Recipes, etc. There were also the fantastic writing workshop and the marvelous masquerade. In addition to the pre-recorded interview with Fiona Eagger and Deb Cox, we had the lovely Ruby Rees (aka Jane Ross) joining us as this year’s VIP. Mr. Foxy and I had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. We both enjoyed the experiences and looked forward to the next con (July 25 - 27, 2019, in San Jose).

On a personal note, I uncharacteristically participated in two fandom challenges – MFMM 30 Day Challenge Re-visited (initiated by @izzyandlouie) and MFMM Year of Quotes (hosted by @missfisherchallenges). Although I completed all the prompts for the latter, the former was only about two thirds of the way through, but I do plan on finishing it this year. One thing I was really proud of was that “Miss Fisher Reading List” series was finally concluded after two years; now I just need to make time to continue reading the books I placed on the list. In terms of followers, I passed 1500 on Tumblr and 800 on Instagram. Last but not least, thanks to the administrators’ invitation, I started making posts regularly on the Miss Phryne Fisher’s Secret Society, a Facebook group that’s celebrating everything MFMM and the 1920s and have “met” even more lovely, knowledgeable, and dedicated fellow fans who made me feel welcomed.

As usual, I am to end the post with a list of notable Likes I received on Instagram.
