I really can't find the "inn" to any group I used to be a part of, or am trying to be a part of that isn't just ignored like an annoying little sister. I feel like I've tried everything and now all I do is complain that everything sucks (depression helps ofc).


For the books - ofc instagram has ruined itself, and the discord I'm in is also difficult to be in because you can't really treat people like friends, like on here, because everything must be politically correct and be about structural issues. I just want a space to hate on a book I disliked WITH friends who kinda agree. I don't want to have to end every opinion I have in "we have a literary crisis, so it's just good people are reading." DUDE, ALL OF US ARE READING. WE ARE NOT THE LITERARY CRISIS. WHY ARE WE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THE LITERARY CRISIS. (and we are bc sooo many works at a bookstore or library, with publishers, are published authors, etc.)

I just want a space to say the dumb stuff and make extremes out of things that aren't just bc i'm feeling intensely about it in that moment, and people knowing I don't mean it like that. BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS ME and I DON'T KNOW THEM.  and irl still nobody cares.

people look at you like youre a mean lil person when you say you dislike things now a day because it means you're shaming the people who like it, like NO IT JUST MEANS I DON'T LIKE IT AND IT'S A REFLECTION OF ME, NOT THEM, AND IT IS NOT A REFLECTION ON THE LITERARY CRISIS and making people read less.

Wish I could talk books with you but I don't read books :') 

I've been thinking I should do audio but I already have the podcasts I usually listen to, the youtube stuff I usually watch and have in the background, and I'm happy with my routine I guess XD 
My mom also keeps telling me I should listen to radio (swedish public media) but... 

Also about the shaming ppl for their opinions ect, I feel like internet has a big issue with understanding the concept of "doesn't like". It's never enough to just not like something. Or someone.

Well two of the podcasts are from yogscast members and I think I just like them bc I've watched their content since I was younger? XD Like, they're not actually that *good* I just like it bc it's familiar. 

And then I watch/listen to stuff like "decoding the unknown" and similar.

Or I have stuff like "mystery quest" (also from yogscast). Ppl playing roleplaying games! 

I also like a lot of oldschool let's plays. 

oh and Creepcast, though I definitively know they're not totally 100% unproblematic? One of them is very 90s - 2000 edge lord coded.

Never heard of any of this. I think it's fun when there are different personalities and i guess esp men gets away with shitty old opinions, which is at least one thing, but it makes a good dynamic. there's a similar dynamic in the podcast i'm listening to with two authors. woman is mostly political correct esque but still willing to have unpopular opinions (which is why i like her) and the other person is a man, who says the wildest things and she has to tell him that's wild all the time and like yeah they talk about the books they're writing and obvi whatever he's pitching isn't sellable how he pitches it now so u kinda know that it won't be some brand new installment to a genre that i super problematic even if he wants to portray it like that. which makes it fun bc everyone can be in on the joke together.

same, i survived nearly 14 days on TikTok. It takes 1 minutes (aprox 6-10 videos that autoscroll) to fry my brain for real. but booktok shaped all other socials, esp insta, and now insta is ruined and insta keep ruining itself

truuue, the algorithmic way of viewing the internet is exhausting! 

Have you tried manually searching maybe there's like hidden gems??? I dunnu? XD 
Search on "first time reading blind read-through" (basing this off of playthroughs... as in... first time playing blind playthrough... maybe blind reading is something else.... )

thank you bc everytime i say this to people they answer as if this is all wrong to feel and that i "just" have to do this and that but like it doesn't solve the fact that no one actually wants to hold the space w me to express negative opinions about things
