@MezzoHS@texasrozanov i so agree. their post just struck a nerve in me😅 when social media and screen addictions are already weakening people’s brains and attention spans, it worries me to see people frame reading (especially reading arguably short books) as so egregiously time and energy consuming
@MezzoHS@texasrozanov i agree that reading whole books at once takes time that most people don’t have, but i can’t imagine taking 14-15 hours to read a 200 page book. a 200 page audiobook is like 5-7 hours. if you take breaks (as you should) it could be 15 hours but 200 pages is really not that many
@Keys1194@omgsidewalks they can be annoying, but many species of flies are actually pollinators as well! some flowers even smell gross specifically to attract flies
i love fanfic and have read fanfics that i like as much as my favorite books or that are even comparable in quality, but idk, it’s good to read a physical book. it’s good for your brain. read a book and think about the book and write a review. it’s good for you.
when people compare fanfic reading to novel reading, there are always people who say they’ve read fanfics that are better written than published novels, which is cool and all but in 95% of cases it feels like comparing an artful tiktok short film to a full length movie
yeah some fanfics are 100k words and have amazing grammar and good writing, but many of them are mostly short and fun. it’s okay to like reading fanfic because it’s fun. it doesn’t have to be “just as good as reading a novel.”
before going on t my libido was nonexistent, probably because i'm on zoloft, but now my horniness has penetrated the sexless fog of ssris and created a whole different issue, i.e. my entire dick and balls feel terribly bruised from how much mileage i've gotten out of them
@d00mbuggie @choiarmidzywith would you be willing to share it with me too? it was on my tbr, i was waiting for when i could be comfortably devastated😔🫶
at a thrift store with my mom and she held up a little boy onesie and said she wishes she could go back and dress me differently. i was like, “you thought you dressed me ugly?” and she said “no, i just wish i couldve dressed you like the handsome fellow you are” :((((
connor storrie was incredible. the rest of the cast was… loud? i was cheated out of like an hour of my life by the ads alone. i’ll need between 3-400 advil to ease my headache and some words of affirmation to tend to the self injury i committed by watching.
watching snl live and tearing up because of how terrible it is. each sketch is grating and awful and followed instantly by ads that feel as long as the sketches themselves, but i can’t turn it off because connor storrie is genuinely excellent despite the horrendous material
@goosergeeser wish i lived closer, i would offer to help😔nothing is at all wrong with you even tho it feels like it, manifesting a hottie with a body for u<3
