I don’t think it was social media. To be honest with you, this is the worst thing I have ever said. Seriously! I swear to god, it was once the “normies” got on the internet. I think “normies” are socialized to be cruel, and they took that cruelty to the internet. I loved it when it was for the freaks and the geeks. It was the best of the best!

It took my favorite activity (reading) and turned it into a social one. An educational one too! It was amazing. There’s still bits out here. I mean look at us. But there’s a lot of trash on these sites too. Just filter, enjoy your echo chamber, and be open to people entering it with opposite opinions. In fact, be open to opinions all over the place, even in person. Just saying, I use this as reprieve. I don’t need to work myself up, I want to chill and cool down with it.

I don’t have any suggestions for titles, but I am a geek for a certain type of pet. I found a couple of books about them, and basically it was just by typing in [animal] + [fiction book] into Amazon. This was years back, and idk if it’ll help but it’s fun to read some little adventure books.
