this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

BORROWBOX! This is important information. Join your local library and get free (well you've paid for them via lovely socialism) audiobooks on your phone. I've just grabbed the Mal Evans book.
Borrowbox. If you have a library card. Use the app to listen to audiobooks loaned from the library. It's very good

Fascinating thread about hippos. Cute, cuddly, lethal hippos 🦛
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.
