I thought the idea of a /uses page was an interesting one, though I'm not a very technically person and the sorts of things I'm likely to include here are a bit different than what's on the page.

Site Stuff

• Host: Veerotech currently, who do managed hosting very well, but I can also recommend Nearly Free Speech if you want something cheaper and more barebones.
• Code: I end up doing a lot of my editing in Visual Studio Code because I love having the ability to find and replace across all of my files. I've used 11ty for building out a few portions of my site as well.
• Graphics: I end up doing a lot of graphic editing in Canva because it's fast and convenient.
• Blogging: My blog is on Dreamwidth because it's reliable and I trust the owners, and because moving would be a pain.

Other Stuff

• Tarot: My go-to deck is the Numinous Tarot, which is so colorful and evocative, I always love pulling it out. I also work with Benebell Wen's Spirit Keeper's Tarot and a few other's for specific uses like the Wildwood Tarot. I like making magpie decks as well, including a mixed magpie tarot, a Wild Hunt deck composed of a mix of cards that speak of the Hunt to me, and a Queen's Deck that's all women from different decks.
• Oracles: I have my own oracle deck, the Empty Sky, that I've been using for a little over ten years in one form or another. I also use the Threadbound Oracle (which is bookbinding/library themed!), the Forty Servants, and sometimes draw from Kim Krans's Archetype deck and the Citadel Oracle.
• Watercolors: My go-to are Beam Paints supplemented by colors from Ko-Z Paints. Beam's paintstones are just an absolute joy to paint with.
• Notebooks: Art Creation sketchbooks in the pocket size go everywhere with me. I keep ending up back in these even compared to the excellent Leuchtterm1917 because the heavy paper means I can write, draw, even watercolor, use any thickness of ink, and I don't have to worry about it.
• Pens: I split my time between Uniball Signos in .28 or .38 fineness and brush pens like the Tombow Fudenosuke. Uniball is my favorite choice for everyday writing because I write small and fast and their ink flows super smoothly even in the very fine points. I've been using the brush pens for sketching in my notebooks and I love being able to play with lineweights. I also have a Zebra Lightwrite that I use when I'm journaling in bed. The Lightwrite lets me see what I'm writing without disturbing my spouse! It's amazing. The one I have has a white LED but they also make them with red and I'd like to pick one of those up when I get the chance.

Tech Stuff

• OS: Linux because I'm just familiar enough with stuff to be frustrated with Windows' limitations. Instead I get to be frustrated with my own limitations in using the command line.
• Monitors: Two, because I started using two at work and it's completely ruined me for just having one now.
• Browser: Firefox
• Digital art: Procreate in my iPad
• Email: Fastmail to host my domain emails
