I've basically given up on social media at this point. I just don't really see much point to using it still. I guess technically you could quality Neocities as social media but not really. I haven't deleted any accounts but I'm gonna stay off of social media.

I still have the focus of a potato, but I've also been able to mostly keep off of YouTube, which means most of my time has actually been spent reading. That, or opening Arknights for no reason and closing it a few minutes later, because my brain still defaults to doing something on my phone and the only other thing I really have left on there is Discord. I'm about a fourth of the way through the first Lord of the Rings book, and it's really good. I honestly feel like I needed to read something like it; specifically, something with a large "impression of depth"; that being a feeling that it has "deep roots in the past" as Tolkein called it, the past in this context being the fictional past of Middle-earth. Idk, I like deep, expansive worldbuilding, so it's probably not a huge surprise that I'm really enjoying the Lord of the Rings.
