One thing that I have always struggled with, and I am pretty sure I am not alone here, is managing my “Read-later” and Bookmarks. Lately, I have tried apps like Goodlinks, Raindrop.io, and even Micro.blog’s built-in Bookmarks.

I love GoodLinks, it is a nice-looking app and very easy to use, and it was a pink icon. My problem is, it is iOS only, and most of my browsing happens on my work computer. Raindrop.io is great and I can use their Chrome extension to easily add links and such. But the app itself it’s meh! I rarely find myself opening it to read anything later or reference something, I don’t know why.

Micro.blog’s Bookmarks, well, I only use it within Mb, I add things as I browse my timeline for later read, it works great in that regard but I never att things from outside of Mb.

All that being said, in the past the one app that had always worked for me and that I actually would open every now and then, had been Instapaper. Not sure if it’s because it was the best option at the time and it’s like muscle memory to have it and use it. Or if it’s its design and the simplicity I find in it.

Either way, I will experiment with the app again, yes the app is also iOS/macOS/iPadOS only but they have a nice website that just like Feedbin’s, it is a delight to use, I think.

I live in Idaho, Boise-fucking-Idaho, and not necessarily by choice, just the way things played out. Nor was I aware of its political tendencies and stands.

2020, was a very tense year, politically, as we all know. It was a hard year for me, I mean, seeing big trucks with both the US flag and the TRUMP one, or the TRUMP one alongside the confederate flag. Both the Trump and confederate flags made me very uncomfortable, anxious and scared, for obvious reasons.

After the elections, tensions were not quite as much. I started to feel hopeful and in some ways, safer. After that, you’d still see the same trucks but just waving the US flag, cool.

Until, the past few days. I have been seeing trucks with the US flag and one that says, “Trump 2024”. Every time I see them, all those feelings, anxiety, and fear from the pre-election day, pour in.

I dislike my state…
