THe Vanished Birds by simon jimenez

Sci-Fi book I picked up on a whim at the library nearly 2 years ago that I still think about at least weekly! A blurb on the back said it was "the best of what science fiction should be" and I was like "wow, that's bold" but it was true! It's on par with This Is How You Lose The Time War, but longer and more traditionally narrated (but still interesting!)

Flowers for algernon by daniel keyes

Reading an entire book from the pov of the main subject in a science experiment is fun, but now make the subject go from forrest gump level of intelligence to surpassing college professors.

Not feeling pressure to use pi.fyi every single day

One of the few apps with no ephemeral "story" feature or whatever so you don't need to check it every 24 hours. Cherish this.

just write anything and worry about editing it later

It's just like John Swartzwelder said: "Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
