once i hit 1/2 of it, i usually finish it within 2 hours. the lead up normally takes me a couple of weeks to get through. i struggle to take real interest for a while.
when i get to that halfway mark though, and things start heating up⦠ooooo man that book is done for.

hear me out, taking months to finish books that should only take weeks is actually super cool and a sign of superior intelligence

i know that most people cool enough to post here probably know this by now, but wired headphones are the best. for audio quality, yes, but also cos iβm wearing jeans with rly small front pockets, so my phone is in my back pocket and my wired headphones tell me that my phone hasnβt been stolen again

substacks are the modern blogs now, right?
i've got my own substack linked in my profile under 'website' (i need to post more often, working on that). and of course, rayne-fisher-quann's substack is top tier. i read her stuff and i wish i could write nearly that well.
as far as traditional blogs (ie, dedicated websites), dangerous minds is a cool music blog that posts (or at least used to post) about random things in the world of 70s and 80s art rock and post-punk. again, not sure how active they still are but it's got that loose writing style and primitive design of the late 00s/early 10s blog era that i wasn't really around for but get nostalgic over nonetheles.

young people (people of my generation) are AWFUL at picking up the phone when you call. even when they're your best friends, they'd rather text and not have to actually generate and communicate their thoughts in real time except when they're forced to irl. it really irritates me, especially when i know they're not actually doing anything significant when i try to call. cmon guys, a good phone call goes a long way!!!
