I feel this would be a good way to clarify why/how I follow some people and sometimes I unfollow them. For my self if not for anyone else!

Sometimes I flip ahead just to make sure a character survives and then spend the next 200 pages pretending I’m still emotionally at risk. I can't enjoy the drama unless I’ve lowkey spoiled it for myself.

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter....

Books, poems, film, etc. may require retraining a brain to slow down.
And it's important bc while scrolling social media pushes the happy button, it rarely provides actual happiness. It's like food with no nutrients; your brain ate a lot but it's still starving for things that scrolling can't give.

Yk what makes me snort?
When they ask me for my birthday and don’t remove yesterday’s or a very recent past as an option.
Like they’re taunting me to allude that, ‘yeah, I’m 1 year, 2 months and 3 days old’

Morning, beautiful Bluesky people! When I get on this platform, I notice I take an easier breath, thanks to all you beautiful, empathetic Bluesky people on here!♥️
Tough times, so as we go through the day reaching out to our brothers & sisters, let's remember to give some love to ourselves, as well😊

Creative people are complex, enigmatic creatures of many multitudes and onion-like layers. But also, someone can say "So cool" on something we created, and the hazy horrors simply dissipate. We grow dragon wings. And shoot magic beams out of our bodies.
