Hey everyone! I’m new here, so I figured I’d introduce myself.

I’m currently trying to get more consistent with journaling and actually make it part of my daily routine. I’ve always liked the idea of journaling, but I’ve never been great at sticking with it, so I’m hoping to change that and use it as a way to slow down, organize my thoughts, and keep track of the things I’m working toward.

I’m especially interested in anything that makes journaling more enjoyable: notebooks, pens, prompts, stickers, or little accessories that make you want to actually sit down and write.

A little about me: I’m a big movie fan (check my page for my letterboxd reviews) , I’m studying to become a teacher, and I’m always trying to pick up new hobbies and routines. I’m excited to meet some people in this community and see what everyone else is into!
Thanks for having me! 😊

My book, Shalom: Welcome to the Tribe, Jessica, was released this morning. My fourth book and it feels great to have a book after a 10 year wait.

The contest: what is your favourite time of the year? Why is it your favourite time of year? Please provide details and a story if you want.

The rules:

🍯 Please add Shalom: Welcome to the Tribe, Jessica to your wish list.

🍯 Tag a friend or two or twenty.

🍯 Have fun!

Contests ends on 4 September 2026, right before Shabbat, so at 7pm. Good luck!

Two winners selected, one UK and one US as I had it open to both. I did mention choosing a videogame related prize, but neither had something I saw so have instead chosen something to maybe help you cope a little :)

u/Any-Astronomer-5946 . I hope the comfort advocadoes work for you, best of luck with the job hunting, just remember rejections are not a reflection on you personally. They don't know you, they just know a piece of paper.

u/Affectionate-Let9241 . I hope a nice quiet read, and a sweet snack will help you find calm after any stressful day

hi hi! I’m currently a university student and new to this sub :)

I’m a huge nerd in that I love anime, video games, and Miku. My fav anime of all time is FMAB and I’ve watched so many peak anime’s like Violet Evergarden, Code Geass, Mob Psycho, and just so much more.

I’m crazy about games too. I’m currently playing Deltarune and I’ve beaten Elden Ring 3 times.

Nice to meet everyone!

Many of us know Dolly Parton was an absolutely special human. Beyond being an incredible music icon she was a loving philanthropist. In honour of her father, Robert Lee Parton (who was not able to read or write), she started the Imagination Library in 1995. The Imagination Library provides a free book per month to children up to five years of age.

So to encourage us to all keep reading in honour of Dolly:

1. Tell us about your favourite book 📖
   
2. Let us know what book you are currently reading 💫
   
3. Tell us what book you can’t wait to read next 🥳

Feel free to pop in your favourite Dolly Parton song if you’d like 🎵

Get to it bookworms- to share our love of reading and help each other find new books. For Dolly!

QOTD: What is the weirdest dream you've had recently?

Hi! I'm new in this sub :)

I'm a CS student away from my home country so I'm trying to figure out how to live by myself in this new city and making new friends.

I love to be active! I like to bake and I love to watch plants grow. I also love crafting and mostly DIY anything I can. My most recent DIY project is a worm compost bin.

I also love tennis, going to the gym, swimming; it all helps me either think with clarity or simply not think at all and enjoy what I am doing.

I love animals with all my heart and whenever I can I rescue them and place them in a new home, back at home I have 4 rescued cats and 3 rescued dogs. I miss them a lot and trying to find out whether it's a good idea or not to bring 2 of my cats with me.

This Contest is Closed.

Pantry items: canned & jarred goods, beans, rice, pasta, condiments, spices, etc.

I love a stocked pantry and enjoy gifting pantry items, so have some of your favorite Prime pantry items on your default/flair list. Simply comment with Restock time! Once again, your entry should look like this: Restock time!

Nothing more, nothing less.

Important stuff: US addresses only, approved RAOA flair, and some recent RAOA participation (posting and commenting) prior to today. Will close at some point tomorrow.

Good luck!
