does anyone know what to do on the internet when you don't have any hyperfixations going and all the websites suck now and you just sort of switch between apps witnessing immense human suffering until it's an acceptable time to go to bed and sleep for 13 hours

Not to be a hater but it is weird to see people going "omg we were right about Phan this whole time!!" And not "wow it was really fucked up we outed these people en masse and forced their relationship into the public eye when they didn't want anyone to know about it"

Any time anyone says "narcissist" in a non-clinical setting you should just replace it with "wanker." What happened to the beautiful word "wanker"

Turns out my therapist hasn't seen Eraserhead so me expressing this derailed our session for a good ten minutes

Reading broadly is significantly more important than quantity of books read. It's fine to read the same thing again and again, no one can stop you, but it doesn't give you the same benefits as reading a variety of things

There's still a tendency in academia (and I am no exception to this) to talk about authoritarianism and fascistization as if these are just things we could observe out there, somehow unrelated to and not directly affeciting us, and not forces already at work both within and against our institutions
