TBH I think blogging is probably one of the best things I have ever done for myself because I have gotten better at typing for it. Which I suck at a little still.

I've been on my laptop way more than my phone, which feels like a mildly more healthy option for screentime because I have a lot of ad blockers and just less notifications overall on my laptop as compared to my phone, which is chalk-full of ads and also constant notifications!

Though I still want more not-social-media things to do online... I miss audio books tbh because I got REALLY into them for a second there, and then I heard Spotify was doing ads to recruit ICE agents so I immediately gave it up for at least a slightly less evil option. But that option has no podcasts or audio books!
I have tried to read normal books, of course. But I read paper books with some struggle, and while it has gotten easier? I do like listening to stuff while I draw!
I do not miss podcasts too much tbh. Never got into them. But I do miss constantly consuming books like I was.

There are tons of stuff on yt and internet archive if you're cool with that. Also, most libraries have audiobooks you can check out either physically and/or over a program, and those catalogues are usually huge, particularly if your library is partnering with a program (and they usually do).
There are tons of sites like LibriVox that have loads of public domain audiobooks for free (we classic lit fans stay winning!!) and additionally more sites with other free audiobooks if you know where to look. ALSO if you have a book in mind you can usually find some noble soul who uploaded the audio if you look around a bit (0v=). What's more, a lot of audiobook/podcast apps you likely already have by default have loads of free audiobooks in their catalogues. You got this!
Ugh, ty. I really like books a lot. I read my fav book of all time once a year. It's The Great Gatsby. I read it the first time in HS, and loved it so much and now I'm kind of obsessed tbh? Lol
