Me: Woo! We finally got our Cloak and Dagger casting!
Also me: Watch when the show comes out, Cloak will be largely ignored by the fandom and the three most popular characters will be Dagger, the angsty white guy who people will aggressively ship with Dagger regardless of Dagger's actual feelings to the guy, and the other main white female character who'll be on the show. Even if Cloak x Dagger becomes the canon ship of the show, fandom will largely ignore it.
Also, also me: Well...AOS did put a gigantic middle finger to the "angsty white guy x lead female character" trope that's become popular in fandom and in Netflix land, we have Luke Cage. So maybe there's hope...maybe. We'll see.

It’s hard to describe, but in their own words: “Endel creates personalized soundscapes to give your mind and body what it needs to achieve total immersion in any task”. Basically you have four modi: relax, focus, on-the-go and sleep mode. They take into consideration external conditions such as heart rate, weather, time and location to personalize these soundscapes. I personally love sleep mode!

[mental health]
It’s a mental health diary but without the excessive writing and the nagging feeling of guilt when you don’t have the time to update it. It helps you to reflect and get information.

They will ask you daily questions about your emotional and physical well-being, that way you’ll get a bi-weekly mental health assessment. You can learn effective methods and techniques + have a reference of your emotional state which you can share with mental health professionals.
