I think it’s time for us to all collectively return to the library. Get a card, go to a club meeting, volunteer on an off day, rent some equipment. You don’t even have to read a book. But since the digital world is rapidly becoming a subscription-only hellscape requiring a criminal amount of private personal information to use even CASUALLY, the library has become our last safe haven to just exist with information present and not have our labour or information exploited for money.

So I've kind of taken a step back from social media lately. I just logged in here for the first time in about a month. Anyway, I've been reading more lately. I've been watching book content on youtube - booktube if you will. (Sorry/not sorry but booktok just seems dull and repetitive, and none of the creators I enjoy seem to use it.) Also the amount of videos I've seen with people showing books they own, where they hate or haven't read a good portion of their collection... I mean, I definitely also own books I have yet to read, but libraries are a thing. I don't want to add books to my collection until I know I like them and want to reread them or refer back to them at some point. I don't understand why it is such a massive trend to have bookcases full of books you don't like or haven't read. I don't enjoy that type of content. I do enjoy hearing people talk about books they've read, whether they liked them or not, and I enjoy seeing collections of books that are obviously loved. Just a hot take I guess.

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what
