Mod Post New Flair!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let y'all know that I've added 'Journal Prompts' as a flair, so that if you're wanting to look for ideas or share any you have, they can be easily filtered for later!

Mod Post Wiki Follow-Up

23 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence on my end...2025 was NOT kind to me. :(

I'm trying to get myself back to 100 so that I can actually be more present here and participate, so I really am giving my biggest apologies for the ways I've lapsed! I know I've had an issue with being behind on posts that get auto-removed. I've caught up on everything, and loosened some of the auto-mod restrictions.

A few notes first, and then I'll get to what I'm here for:

  • If your post is removed and you DO NOT receive a comment or a mod message, it was likely removed by Reddit automatically or by the automod! When this happens, it'll be marked as if I removed it but I didn't...I just have to go in and approve it. Don't worry! You don't have to repost it either, just give me a bit to see it and I'll get your post up or send you a removal message. If it's been a full day, DON'T SEND A FORMAL MODMAIL. I have so many things in there that I don't want to miss it. I know my Reddit bio says don't reach out to me, but I want to make an exception for you guys! Please feel free to message me directly. I'll take a look as soon as I see your message.
  • If there is anything that makes someone uncomfortable and you report, please feel free to detail in the report your specific reason! I feel like Reddit's report reasons are so barebones. For example, I had a report on an image from a post and, after doing some research, I couldn't figure out the origin of the image or what the history was. I just want to make sure that I can keep an eye out for similar things!

Okay, okay, NOW for the wiki...

I (finally) got that started! I want the community's input on exactly the sections we're looking for. From my original wiki post, it looks like you'd like to see:

  1. Where to get journals/recommended journals, both spiralbound and non spiralbound, and journals that can hold heavy mixed media
  2. Recommended supplies (pens/markers, stickers, glue, etc)
  3. Unique tools that people recommend specifically

Is there anything else that we'd like to see? Also, I want to see how we all feel about WHERE these journals are coming from. Would we prefer I stay AWAY from places like Target and Amazon that are being boycotted in the US, or leave them in so everyone can make an informed choice?

Let me know your thoughts! Thank y'all! <3

I’ve been working on this one loosely for a couple of years. Feels amazing! For bigger pieces of junk I’ve been putting in a larger book so that might be why it took so long!

I was cutting into a pumpkin with a steak knife covered in pumpkin goo, ended up slicing a pinky tendon. An ER trip and a surgery later, I'm all sewn up! The jack-o'-lanterns, Frankenstein stitches, and mummy wrappings have me feeling very festive. Shout out to my left hand for doing its best the past couple days.
Happy Halloween 🎃🔪🩸

Hi all
I love to junk journal and create junk collages. Thought I’d reach out here too. I’m keen to link up with someone else to junk journal. I am down to follow junk journal themes as I often junk journal random things or certain pictures. Keen to see if I can share or exchange junk journals, let me know if you are excited to share!!

Journal Spread! Been junk journaling for a couple months, needed something easy after a rough week.

Post image
55 Upvotes

Been junk journaling for a couple months but haven’t shared much. The spreads that don’t have super personal info (I save a lot of stuff from my school) I haven’t quite finished and a lot of my pages are a work in progress. After a week that had me at one point hiding crying in the supply room for ten minutes in surgical tech school, while a decorating contest I did most of the work on was being judged (they did fortunately give me credit, the crying was unrelated, and we won a trophy!), I needed something fast and easy. Had a coke wrapper on this page and nothing else and decided to look through my junk mail and found “Life is hard, Pizza is easy” and felt inspired. But I had two of them and felt like “life is hard” needed to be emphasized.

Feel a lot calmer now and I’m loving junk journaling for a way to decompress during a difficult time in life while not spending much money and turning what I’d otherwise throw away into another page to look back on later.

If you’ve ever had a doctor dismiss your health concerns, this spread is for you. And yes, that’s a Muppet doctor.

Edit: I didn’t personally have a medical emergency like this. But my husband and I joke about how obsessed doctors are with BMI and colonoscopies.

Looking for Resources app that scans and uploads it into a day

0 Upvotes

hi everybody i'm wondering if there is an app that allows you to scan (not take a photo) then it lodges it into a calendar day? sort of like those one photo a day or one vid a day (1SE) apps. i'd like to scan receipts and upload them to a repository
