New Book Haul
Have spent 2025 reading library books. Mostly on a no spend as we were having some hardships. Got a new job today, so treated myself to some new books as a well done for spending 8h a day job hunting since I got made redundant.
2026 hopefully will be more hopeful and happy
Im starting crime and punishment after this one as a slow burn. We should start the slow read club π€£

π©Lazy employers using AI
π©Employers thinking skills you developed in the past arent relevant if you havent done them in the past year
π©job profiles that dont give you the pay
π©employers listing basic standards as "benefits"

Do ittttt
Franky (as I'm going to call him) was a drip. He truly made me empathise with the fiend, who i felt very much like minus the moments or murderous rage..but if you'd seen me over an unseperated teabag, its much the same
Not in u.s luckily. But appreciate the heads up. π

As a neurodivergent person, I have began to read classic books with an eye to see how characters might be labelled in 2026 language... just for giggles.
Like Frankenstein: commitment phobic red flag who meets another red flag blowing his inheritance cruising in the arctic for ego boost
I love brandon, I hate apple, but i support that hes getting recognition. I may not partake in the apple venture, or better yet I may pirate it, but I think he deserves time in the sun

I pre-ordered the soundtrack to the new film yonks ago, have little to no intention of seeing the film as I have the attention span which doesnt like sitting for that amount of time..but feel like I should have read it by now.

I really need to not type and post with as much dyslexic confidence as I do π€£
Things ive also done. Cancelled Spotify, deleted tiktok, fucked off the news cycle. Taken time to live life like the 90s, but with a bit of tech as adhd won't allow me to simply not know something benign at 3am. Evaluated whats actually important. Sat in front of a fire for hours. Chilled. ππ

It also sounds so much more incredible on this format. Im relatively new to record listening, so appreciate it may be stating the blindingly obvious.
Does anyone hear "RedBull Barcelon" ... just me?
Love this album. I may be wrong but there's parts slightly different to Spotify album version. Ive cancelled my sub as I just cant agree with their stance on some things and investments. So I'm going oldskool analog. Just got 2nd hand 90s port.hifi off ebay. CDs and Tapes ahoyyyyy
