the Monthly Issue: May 2026

Hey y'all let's see what's up today! May is going to be a sort of interesting month here on the blog, as I mentioned in the April Rewind I plan to clear out a lot of my drafts and that means preparing for a smorgasbord of content. May is also going to be a really interesting month because I have 2 projects that I'm working on that I would love to share here on the blog when they're finished. I'm really going to try to be grinding this month on those projects in particular.



Upcoming Events

My calendar for May, so far is fairly open. However, on May 9th I'm going to be doing a cemetery scavenger hunt with my horror club, and I'm going to be doing a yard sale with my coworker on the 16th. I have been keeping a close eye on our community calendar though for anything else that may catch my interest. We have a theatre that does Broadway shows in my area now, and my sisters and I have talked about going to see SIX the Musical. It's not necessarily my vibe, but they come to a lot of horror events with me so I'm going to be equally as supportive for their interests.

Goals

I'm going to be ambitious this month. That has, in the past 5 months, not gone well for me but I'm stubborn, so we're going to set 5 goals this month.

📚 Read at Least 4 Books: After my failure last month, I want to really buckle down and read at least 4 books this month. I already have them picked out and now it's just a matter of actually sitting down and reading them.

🎨 Finish All Incomplete Projects: This one is also going to be a little difficult, my main focuses are the 2 pieces that I'm working on for my horror club, but I have a lot of other projects that I feel are just dragging out a little too long and so I plan to complete all of them, or at least as many as I can.

💰 Start Saving: I have 2 big events coming up in August and September, so my biggest goal this month is to start saving like my life depends on it. This is especially true because I'm going to be solo traveling to Florida, I've never solo traveled before so I'm both excited and really nervous for this, but I can't wait to meet up with some friends and go to my very first Halloween Horror Nights.

🏋Workout 3 Times A Week: To both help myself stay on track with my savings and also get my body into better shape, I'm going to challenge myself to workout 3 times a week and additionally put $100 in savings for each pound that I lose to save up for both events.

📖 Self Study at Least 2 Topics: I'd like to start self studying various topics, for the sake of the Anthropology Alcove and other sections of the blog.

Closing

I won't be giving a content menu this month, as I have a lot of drafts to post. I'm hoping to get more done this month than I have in the past, however, I can't really promise too much both due to my health and the nature of the type of content that I make so we're just going to hope for the best! If you want to see more from me feel free to click the link below where you can find my other socials. Y'all take care, and thanks for stopping by!

Hey Girl, Listen: Financial Literacy Tips

Image
Hey y'all, let's see what's up today! As the blog title suggests in this post we're going be talking about financial literacy and how to stop being broke because let's face it having no savings and living paycheck to paycheck at our age isn't cute. Now, I am in no way shape or form a financial advisor but I have worked in accounting since I was 22, it's what I do currently for work, and I have a lot of experience on balancing even the tightest of budgets, which I think might come in handy given the rising cost of... well everything right now. In this post I’m going to break down the financial lingo, share some useful tips that I personally follow, and then direct you to some creators who post purely finance based content if you would like to learn more about other tricks. Please keep in mind this is only in regards to personal finances, however I also own my own business and can assist with sharing those tips as well if anyone would like them. Bu...

Bookmarked: Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims

Image
Hey y'all let's see what's up today! In this post I will be reviewing Thirteen Storeys by Jonathan Sims. Before we dive in, I would like to direct you to Mr. Sims other works which you can find on the Rusty Quill Spotify account or wherever you get your podcasts. He has such a fresh and unique take on horror that I personally find really interesting as someone who loves media with lots of layers. However, despite my love for the Magnus Archives and the Magnus Protocol I also discovered that he was in a band called the Mechanisms. If you like music that tells a story, Steampunk, and Space Pirates you will absolutely adore their music. They have been my personal soundtrack for late night writing sessions since I found the band!  That being said I was absolutely on the hunt for this novel because I have thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Sims other work and when I found it I had to really force myself to wait as I was reading another book at the time. 👻 🦷🔧🔪🔑🎻 Thirteen St...

Chatterbox: Are Trends Killing Originality? (02/27/2026 - 03/05/2026)

Hey y'all let's see what's up today! Today I wanted to discuss trends and self expression. Trends are no stranger here on this blog, we've discussed them a lot in the past and will definitely continue to discuss them as they progress and change. However, do trends take away self expression? That's going to be what we're going to find out.  My Personal Opinion  Personally, I think it largely depends on the person. Some people latch onto trends and will maintain those aesthetics regardless of whether or not they maintain popularity. Others, such as influencers, jump on the fast changing trends and often switch everything up in order to stay relevant or keep their brand deals. I don't really follow trends unless I actually take an interest in them. I think that's the best way to keep wasteful spending, and waste in general to a minimum. However, coming from a content creation standpoint not hopping on trends cam really hurt your enga...
