   I live in Day One

   I have been using Day One since it was in beta. I am a writer and digital content specialist so I do a lot of writing. Day One has grown in capability and beauty since its inception -- I use it more and more everyday.

   To be frank, I tried to use EverNote but found to cumbersome and a bit much. For my mind, Day One provided the perfect palelette for me to sit down and write anything -- the tag it, or easily move it to another journal. It allows up to 10 journals, one of which I have synced to my Instagram, as I like to keep a record of what I post there.

   If you are writing daily, doing Morning Pages, if you blog and need a place to work on drafts, Day One's set up is so easy. It syncs over the cloud to your phone (I'm on Apple products, recognizes voice to text smoothly and allows images to be easily drag and dropped.

   The interface with tagging could be slightly more intuitive but the team is constantly doing updates and I am sure that will be worked out soon.

   I love it and recommend it to anyone writing.

   🏁 Competitors: Evernote, Scrivener, Microsoft Word, Google Docs

   👍 Pros:    Intuitive|Beautiful search experience|Instagram|Easy user interface|Inexpensive|Great for writers|Great value for the money

   👎 Cons:    Tagging needs to be made easier

  *small caveat, as much as I love Anubis I'm not super aware of characterization in the original mythology, however, after a quick trip to britannica.com it seems he was more similar to hades as the soul-governor, though apparently he was anciently associated with hermes, no idea why, but he did invent embalming, so enjoy this information.

• Know the faces of Fascism

  Actually found this question really interesting. So I went to britannica.com for answers. And it seem that slaver inst part of any ideology. Its been used by everybody. From ancient Athens, to Imperial China, from Nazis in Germany to communist in Soviet Union. So I guess it was just a way of life, which most of us only recently found out is incredibly wrong.
