YAY the Patreon is official for Anna Goose!
And this makes me feel better:
“I know book clubs are not for everyone! I have been the person who joins a book club and cannot find the motivation to read the book. I have a rebellious spirit that is less inclined to read required reading too. I see you. None of this is required!
“Of course, you’ll get the most out of your membership if you actually read the book with us. But if you don’t, I think you could still have a lot of fun being a fly on the wall for these conversations & seeing some of the miscellaneous bonus content that I occasionally sprinkle in there. Either way, your support means the world to me!”
Did I ever tell you I love this woman? Like did I?

“Forever is an unreasonable amount of responsibility to assign to two people who have no idea what will happen next week.”
– Emily Slatin, https://rescuegirl557.com/Every-Life-Contains-Things-That-Did-Not-Happen.php
“I hate it when I am told that something happened a long time ago, and that I should be over it by now. Some things take a lifetime to get over—the past isn’t always as far away as we imagine it to be.”
Some things we never get over. We live with the past all the time because linear time is an illusion. Everything happens all at once, it just doesn’t seem to play out that way. Yes we may grow past certain things and the scar tissue becomes sufficient to plug the wound, but all the scars still remain. And people who say “get over it” need to first get over themselves and realize they’re the problem, not you.
“Human beings become easier to understand when we stop demanding verdicts of entirely good or entirely bad.”
YES! Maybe one of the best sentences Emily has ever written.
Accidentally posted my SECOND song exploration for my podcast on YouTube. It was supposed to be posted on the TWENTIETH not the SECOND. So enjoy it. ‘

“Nobody knows what’s around the corner. But I know one thing, if you keep yourself out of the game for fear of losing, there is no way on this Earth that you are going to win.” – Dolly Parton <3

Semantics are funny. Podcasts and ASMR are seen as entirely different things. They are not. They are simply of a much different cadence and presentation. They are, in fact, really the same thing. They are treated as such by Spotify. They have a fairly regular schedule, most of the time, and people often just listen, not watch.
