I recently discovered mine, Samsung CD Yepp to be exact, and it changed the way I listen to music. I started listening to full albums again instead of just singles you can easily stream. For me it’s not about sound quality, although it matters of course, but mostly about consciousness. Since then I collected my mini-collection of CDs I will pass to my children. Kinda regret I got rid of old phones, especially BenQ-Siemens EL71, but hope to thrift it one day

vinyl is too expensive now so ive been collecting cds, it’s nice to have cds because my car is old and I have a cd player so they actually do get used. I don’t listen to my vinyls much at all but they looked cool on my wall at my apartments. Glad I’m getting practical use out of the cds 🥹

finally using my portable CD player again to listen to my favorite album that isn't on any streaming services anymore!! it's so fun to have physical copies of media I like, and it was great to not use my phone for once (though the CD would pause every time I accidentally bumped into the player while I was walking to class; it was kind of charming but also pretty annoying).

I forget it all the time, but actually working in public spaces once in a while is crucial for motivation and mental health. I’d say no less than once a week, but realistically it’s once a month. (Hope this rec will remind those of you who work from home to go out 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️)

Such a quiet healing book that brings calmness and hope. Short and easily read at night-time for good dreams Would appreciate book recs like this one P.S. Alas Honeydome cookies by Kuremiyado aren’t real. I would love to buy them and reuse the tin just like the librarian
