“Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” Professor Faber

  • I’m actually watching it at this moment while I work. Only 15 minutes left, thank goodness.

    Even if you look past all the BS that is that family, it’s honestly just boring more than anything. Lots of long walks with music and a monologue. The first 20 minutes is a long walk then a scene in a single room where she’s trying on 2-3 outfits. The conversations seem forced and bordering scripted in places, kind of like reality tv. In the middle, they introduced her father and how he always filmed on an old film camera, so of course they started editing it to look like it’s filmed on an old camera. Which is really weird, it’s obviously edited and jumps between normal and editing with no changes to angle or anything. Just very tacky gold plated everything everywhere.

    A few lines here and there that made me roll my eyes. A few scenes of him saying the same old dumb shit he says. It’s more boring and overproduced than anything.

    Diving back in to finish off this hot mess of a propo….erm “documentary”

    Edit: Just finished it. The last 15 mins are mostly just a photo shoot of her in the White House. That was boring and I’m glad I was working while it was on. Off to watch Eega to wash my eyeballs.










  • Yep, I met my partner through OKC just before they enshittified. I also had used it to meet folks when I travelled for work. I had a note on my profile that I travelled a lot and just wanted to see new cities and eat good food. Surprisingly, I had far more platonic meetups than creepy guys trying to hook up, which I stated I wasn’t looking for in my profile.

    I was a very very early adopter of OKC. I remember when it was more of a social media website with quizzes and badges than just dating. I’m still friends with a few people I met there in the early days.

    You’re the pineapple blossom post! That’s such a nice picture.

    I’ve been intentionally trying to be less of a lurker and more active in comments. !books@lemmy.world is one place that I’ve tried to be more active because I love reading, thinking, and talking about books. I was also posting updates about a green lynx spider on my lemmy.world account before I switched to piefed, this is a good reminder for me to post an update on my girl (RIP) and her beautiful little babies.

    Lots of us lurkers need to be more active, myself included.
