Only a few chapters into FantasticLand by @mikebockoven.bsky.social but I can already tell it's exactly my kind of book. Love the super dark premise, the first person interview format, and the contained setting. It's great to find a story that instantly immerses you like this.

I love the Streisand effect. Case in point, I felt no immediate urgency to read Sarah Wynn-Williams' CARELESS PEOPLE until Meta tried to silence the tell-all. That made me want to read it right away. Started it earlier today and am already hooked. #amreading

Yesterday I had to look up the correct meaning of a specific emoji and felt old.
Today I heard someone say "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" and had to look *that* up, and now I feel less old.

my favorite people are the ones who are drunk on learning, who check more books from the library than they have time to read, who stay up all night on wiki rabbit trails, who need to know everything about stardust or the sea or Icelandic sagas and just. never. stop.

Limiting news/social media and surrounding myself with good people and good stories is what's keeping me from endless panic attacks. Going outside, taking walks, and listening to music also helps.

I am so scared about everything that I'm freaking out my family with my panicking. If you have a good way to cope, please share. I can't find anything to hope for anymore.
