Tarot for the Modern Age
As a person who makes their living as a psychic reader, I know my way around a tarot deck. Instagram knows this too, apparently, and is constantly showing me ads for new decks up for sale, usually incredibly beautiful ones created by independent artists that rely heavily on social media to promote their businesses.

It has been estimated that over 80 million lives have been saved because of Penicillin, a drug implemented in 1942.

The negative effect of drugs was never the intention, but that makes them no less real.

Life Off The Grid
Ok, firstly I was without wi-fi for about eight days which is more than a week but that wouldn’t make for such a catchy subtitle. Secondly, while I did manage to access the internet using mobile data on my phone afterwards, I only had 20 GB of data so I had to moderate my browsing.
