new skill!!
SOLDERING?
the cyberdeck trend caught my tiktok feed and i've been inexplicably obsessed with them now for weeks.
i started putting one together slowly. some parts i already had available; the main brain, the raspberry pi 4B, that was easy. my husband had made a pi-hole out of it a few years back but maintaining it for him was getting to be a bit of a chore and it had been sitting around in my desk drawer for a while. so i commandeered it. found a case for it straightaway, the lightbulb moment was abrupt, a caboodle makeup/miscellaneous crap holder felt like a no brainer. its got plenty of space, can easily be brought around with you. got a screen off amazon, two arduino kits for miscellaneous parts, and now it serves as a central hub for learning python and building random tech devices. just finished my first little doohickey, a little Pico 2W device. its technically useless, but it exists, its a little friend now.

this one-off novel takes place in a maternity home in florida in the 1970s, one specifically for unwed teenage mothers.
it starts off with a girl named neva in the car with her father, on the way to this maternity home. she's
