i am not someone who can pick up and read one book at a time, i am usually reading 3-4 at various paces. currently i’m reading 1 nonfiction book, 1 fiction ebook, 1 poetry book, and i’m actually also reading a graphic novel too!
having at least one ebook means i can read when i want to in public (ie transit) even if i don’t have a physical book on me and of any physical copies i’m reading, at least one must be paperback so i can toss it in my bag
poetry books (and graphic novels but i read those less) are quicker reads for me so they help me if i get into a slump with the other books, and i have the freedom of choosing between fiction and nonfiction depending on the vibes of the day lol

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
