this is daisy's lame website

I just uploaded a review of Michael Reaves's Coruscant Nights trilogy, a Legends Star Wars book series published back in 2008 and 2009 I read over the past month. It was a very fun review to write, and a good way to flex my writing muscles by writing something longer than my typical reviews. The trilogy was just very fun to read as well, so check it out if you want.

If you didn't guess, my long-term absence from this website was due to immense depression after moving back home. The past few months have been exceptionally hard. Plus I got a full-time job back in August, so it's harder to find time to write; it's harder to find time to do anything, really. I went to the club last night. I only get really confident after three shots, but I had a good time dancing and being with old and new friends. I never know what to do with my arms though. I don't really think I'll ever figure out what to do with most of my body. I hope everyone's well.

WOW! So it turns out that, despite me saying I have nothing else to do but write, I forgot one key aspect of moving back home after graduating: severe depression. So it's been less writing and more ahhhhh I'm going insane days of spending 16+ hours in bed. I don't have anything new written, but I do have a new interest that I've been pursuing and getting into. It's Flock cameras, which are automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) that have been popping up in countless cities in nearly every state over the past few years. It's a textbook example of mass surveillance and government/corporate overreach, and I implore you guys to read up on DeFlock.org, an organization dedicated to tracking ALPRs, raising public conciousness about surveillance, and fighting with citizens to get local governments to cancel their Flock contracts. I've mapped six Flock cameras in my nearby area that weren't on DeFlock's open-source map, and I implore y'all to do the same. Go on a drive, go on a "Flock-walk (tm)," and map these cameras to make this issue more known.

I know this isn't my usual update, but this is an important issue that I truly believe in. In more personal news, I'm visiting my old college in Oregon, where I attended for a year straight after high school. It's weird being in the town where I felt alive for the first time, walking around reliving memories in a new light. But it's fun too. Maybe I'll suddenly be inspired to write. Who knows. In the meantime, love y'all, hope you are well.

OMG! A new essay? Yep, the rumors are true; I have nothing else to do but write. Here is an essay I wrote a while back for my cancelled/on-hold YouTube channel project thing that I decided to finish up, edit, and publish for y'all. It's about how I've found it difficult in the past to hold on to my anti-corporate, anti-capitalist morals while being "obsessed" with Star Wars, and I give a few tips based on my years of experience being a massive nerd. I tried a little harder than I usually do during the editing processes, so I'm pretty proud of it. That's all; check it out!
