1. I feel okay today. Exercise class was fun, and we got some much needed rain.
2. Yes. It‘s how I stay in touch with some of my friends and get some (but not all) of my news. On the other hand, it can also be frivolous at best and mean spirited. I make a point not to argue with strangers, as tempting as it may be.
3. When I shut it down a couple hours before bedtime (except for Litsy of course), I‘ve found that helps.

Kerrbearlib Glad you had fun at exercise class! I have also found that logging off before bed helps. I try to log out between 9 pm and 10 pm every night and then give my electronics to my husband to hide. It‘s helped me sleep better. (edited) 5d
Susanita @Kerrbearlib That‘s a good idea. Unfortunately I have to use my phone to play music that will blot out the faux news in the other room, but I‘m getting better at doing that only and not going off on social media tangents. 4d

I just remembered having read an interview with the author some time ago and went through my pile of old true crime magazines and found it. The pictures give it a quite eerie notion of the novel.

Wow, I did not expect anything like that of a novel about a computer game, but I ended up reading the almost 500 pages in two days. I could not put it down. The story is definitely fast-paced and I did immerse myself in the story like Nick did with Erebos. Hopefully, the second part will be as good as the first one. ♟️♟️♟️

I withdraw my consent from reality. I deny it my assistance. I dedicate myself to the temptations of escapism, and throw myself wholeheartedly into the endlessness of unreality.

MariaW @Aims42 Would be nice, but than you would take a bad turn - at least in the book. (edited) 5d

This biography tells the story of Ada Lovelace, the world‘s first computer programmer. It introduces children to the role women have played in science, technology, and mathematics.

thecheckoutstack Thanks so much for listening @BookmarkTavern! 4mo
Chelsea.Poole Just finished the episode. Really enjoyed hearing @monalyisha and all the recs. This may just be my favorite new podcast!?! (I don‘t listen to podcasts but maybe I do now!) 4mo
monalyisha Aww, thanks @Chelsea.Poole & @BookmarkTavern! I don‘t typically listen to podcasts either but you know I think this topic is worth it…and I love Maria‘s passion! I *do* listen to Katherine May‘s podcast occasionally (because of course I do). And I managed to get into “60 Songs That Explain the 90‘s” for a while (the episode about Mazzy Star was my personal fave). 4mo
