bored with the internet

Been feeling restless online, like I can't find enough conversations about topics I want to read/talk about. So I added Substack and Reddit to my daily haunts. Substack because I miss the political interaction of old Twitter, and damnit I finally had to subscribe to The Bulwark. I appreciate their perspective and willingness to say what they think more than any other small-scale journalism company out there right now. I also like that they have hired a lot of good, real journalists so I can get detailed stories about immigration and the economy besides just political hot-takes.

Reddit is pretty easy to navigate and find silly and/or interesting pop culture takes. Especially the TV parts -- reminds me of the TWOP forums, back in the day. I watch a lot of stuff no one else I know does so it's nice to have strangers to chat with about stuff like For All Mankind or We Were Liars, or the absolutely tragic and unexpected mental health breakdown Kelley Wolf from Real World is having live on Instagram.

In stuff I do know other DW people watch, Severance season 2 is a very hard watch. ( no real spoilers but just in case )

My one big task today is supposed to be: clean shower, let it dry, re-grout shower.

I think you can imagine how much I do not want to do that.
