Super generic answer but once I made my account last year I realised how poor apps like Twitter etc. are for communicating ideas. Like you can barely form a thought under 200 characters, let alone host an interesting discussion. Substack certainly has its pitfalls & the notes side of the app can be a little mindless but overall it really encouraged me to follow through on ideas & discussions & journalling more often!

I think I finally found a place to share my longest thoughts without the feeling of been judged. I feel that here on PI I can just spit some random things and there I can elaborate better with longer texts. these both apps are the perfect replacement for twitter and I love it

I love knowing that less than 10 people I know follow me on Substack. The algorithm is pretty decent & I love yapping to strangers

Magazines, music, the newspaper and PRINTING photos of your loved ones. The internet actually won’t last forever! And art of course.

Started a journal for the first time in my life recently. Actually game changing, I see now why it’s one of the most common self help practices… like what do you mean I’ll remember to do stuff if I simply take physical note of it? HAHAHA.

Okay, to say I ”liked” it would only be a half truth. I guess I liked how emotionally impactful it was for me, as well as the (studio Ghibli, so, expectedly) incredible animation. But man, was it a tough watch! It is so different to any other anime film I had watched up until that point. So raw and graphic and tender.
