Books are a special kind of poison. They soothe every ache inside of you while making you long for things that don’t exist. They make you feel alive while simultaneously making life seem more and more dull with every page you read. Reading makes you feel less alone and yet it creates an ache for companionship - the likes of which you will never know outside of those pages.

Books are a poison I wish I had never drunk, but now that I have - it’s the one thing keeping me alive.

I don’t know which of the two backstabbings (Reader or Sparrow(which barely lasted a year or so)) made me realise that no webcorp is benign or kind or has small folks’ interests at heart. To me, this was eye opening; to use the new fangled hashtag, #Enshittification v0.1

Anyhoo. RIP Reader. I loved you while you lived.

Monthly email download / backup to #Thunderbird done.

If you live in a webmail client, like I do, it behooves you to go download stuff every once in a while. (Yay, open email standards)
