Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care?
You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.

Before college I could read and retain the information at a rate of 600-800 pages in 4-6 hours. partly youth fueled, partly free time fueled. Now it can take me a few months to read a book half that size mostly due to lack of free time and hypoglycemia (I can no longer read for long hours w/o food)
Not meant to be a competitive question but... how long does it take you to read an average book?

that does it @bsky.app stop removing/hiding replies that are harmless. a hidden reply I just revealed said "ice skating" in response to request for rom-com worthy activities. there is no reason to do this. the only time replies should disappear is if the user was blocked.

Because doctors are finally screening for it younger. Or more likely patients aren't willing to ignore serious issues just because a doctor says they're too young.
A deadly cancer keeps rising among younger adults. No one's sure why | CBC News
New statistics show colorectal cancer is on the rise among younger adults. No one's sure why. But the trend is clear, so the question now is: What should Canada do about it?

Alright folks, from now on when quoting songs poetry make damn sure to use either music notes or stick the lyric in "quotes" and list the performer/writer. because apparently nuance is dead. Or possibly context. Or reading articles in their entirety. #smh
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2
