Book 53 and a slightly anticipated release with the new original (this was before the AI character chatbot came to light, fuck that thing). Fairly decent adaptation, would like to compare it to other versions at some point in the future. Dracula (Audible Original) - Bram Stoker, Robyn Ahern 3.75⭐️

Book 52 of the year, my 4th nonfiction (another goal crossed off!) and one I had been wanting to read for a while. It did not disappoint too much and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend! (Juuuuust maybe don’t eat while reading 😂) The Ghost Map - Steven Johnson 4.25⭐️

hey, y'all. even with the small gig I have, I'm like $1000+ under what I need every month. I'm now cancelling dentist follow ups that I really need because of ongoing damage from an infection I couldn't treat for YEARS which damaged my overall health. I would LOVE to just write again, open to work!

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.
