Checkouts: PJ Leslie Odom Jr’s new single - Under Pressure The Untitled Goose Game Mary Thengvall Prusa i3 MK3 kit 3D Printer A reminder to make time for yourself. For me, that’s been waking up 20-30m early (when I can convince myself to do so!) and reading while drinking my coffee instead of being on my phone or computer right after waking up.
