Tarot supplement – The Emperor and the Devil

Writer of Words, etc

Yesterday, I had an hour of quiet privacy, so I recorded this YouTube video on my new channel to introduce the cards I chose a few days prior, which I analyzed in more wordy (!) detail in this post.

Side note: I’m trying to figure out how things work on youtube, so if you’d like to subscribe, you’d be doing me a favour. Just make sure you subscribe the channel linked above; I have another similar channel which I am trying to get rid of – sorry for the confusion. The clip above is just over 5 minutes long (short). 😉

Tarot cards analysis

On May 20 I chose the following cards during my semi-daily reading:

I was a little shocked at these cards. Why?

Because they’re all Major Arcanas.

How to adjust your playback speed on a youtube video (of me talking)

Writer of Words, etc

When podcasts and YouTube took over the online world, and especially during pandemic times, I panicked a little about how much time people will spend talking, instead of typing. Is my online world going to turn into audio now?

Questions about apps: Reddit

Writer of Words, etc

Something like that… I can’t quite describe it accurately. I don’t know if I’m interested enough in using this app as a go-to source. Should I? Or not?

Clandestine honesty

Writer of Words, etc

Those of you who have read here a while know that I’m a little bit…different.

Let’s go with that. 🙃

Here is something about me though that most of you probably will not dispute: I am nothing if not creative.

As I continue to write my stories, and edit my stories, and proofread my stories, and finish my stories, and begin new stories, I realized something.

The cabin question

Writer of Words, etc

I saw a cabin like this somewhere on social media a couple of weeks ago.

It was a meme, of sorts. It went something like this (I’m paraphrasing):

This is a basic cabin with food, water and a wood fireplace. There is no tv, no wifi, no phone, no internet. You have food and water and firewood. Can you stay here for one month? If yes you can collect a prize of $100,000.

My initial answer was an immediate HELL YES. 🙂

One month? I have food, water and warmth? Who cares about the internet or tv…

And then, I read the comments on that thread. 😲
