Faeries and Cryptids

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

if you start reading books again. you will feel at least a little better. I promise

youtube creators used to make videos and upload them just because they wanted to whenever they wanted to but now if a bunch of good creators upload at once it's almost definitely just because it's deadline day for their sponsorship and all of them do the same ad read too. get that bag but man it is a little bit depressing to see

I regularly hear youtube creators mention offhand something like "I don't have anything to say, but the algorithm penalises intros that aren't long enough... anyway..." at the start of their videos. Video length, style and pacing can't be based on their best creative judgement or they'll drown on the platform. It's gotta fit whatever the current algorithm formula is and be designed to minimise the chances of random demonetisation. I wish they could be free. I wish to hear their own minds and hearts once more. Alas.

Morgana and Oz webtoon is back today!!! I'm planning to upload it weekly until the end (Episode 110 will be the last one) I hope you'll enjoy the ending ✨
