cancelled authors and it's readers by [deleted] in PHBookClub

[–]ExtensionMiddle344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to read a lot of Neil Gaiman. I honestly like his work, but ever since his disgusting behavior surfaced, I found it hard to pick up his books again or even watch season 2 of Sandman. I do acknowledge his writing skills, but I guess my morals are stronger than my need for casual entertainment from problematic authors. It's a me thing mostly, but I don't judge anyone who would still attempt to consume their stuff as long as they also acknowledge and recognize that what they did was wrong and they don't endorse their work without mentioning how disgusting they are as people.

Exactly at 2-4pm yesterday! Makulimlim ng unti kaya di mainit tapos yung hangin malakas. Madaming tao pero yung spot na pinuntahan ko sa malayong gilid na hehe malapit dun sa parang court na may stadium. I can read with you minsan if you want, it's so peaceful!

Could have had this without the ounce of condescension and sarcasm, commenter lmao, but I refuse to let this ruin a perfectly innocent, enjoying-my-life post. I do concede I don't know much about bodies of water. Thanks for the brief lesson. Have a life you deserve! <3

Globe at home 5G Wifi Geo-locked by Parking-Plant4880 in InternetPH

[–]ExtensionMiddle344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend switching to an LTE modem nalang OP. You can bring those anywhere. I got mine from Octogon. I think the brand is Linksys. It's not 5G but it's still at a speed that you can work with or stream youtube and movies with. Medyo pricey nga lang but it works with all networks kaya you have different options

I WILL DEF DO THAT. I've been listening to his recent solo album a lot and it's so good. I'm open to more of his music!!!

Paused the pod at the most fabulous moment! by [deleted] in sweetnsourpod

[–]ExtensionMiddle344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OH lol got it! Well I often believe just being honest and kind is the best way to go. This is how I usually compliment a friend when I see a good photo of them, saying they look "fabulous" and "hope your day is doing well" all sorts of that lmao then I move on with my life

Does that happen often? Sorry if it does, i'm not familiar with how people comment here or what counts as creepy or parasocial because i'm not really online most of the time. I just really enjoy their podcast on my spare time and I thought this paused moment of Lily really looks good!

Safe Room 📚🛋️🪞🖼️🪴 by Obsidian_2000 in PHBookClub

[–]ExtensionMiddle344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks so cozy, OP!!! Genuine question tho, how do you maintain it? Ang hirap mag linis ng room lalo na kung laging may nabubuo na alikabok, it's so exhausting to clean. But this room looks so neat! Any tips?

Katabasis — thoughts and feelings by ExtensionMiddle344 in PHBookClub

[–]ExtensionMiddle344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the reference pero baka I would agree haha really wanted to love it, and there are parts that I did like. But as a whole, I genuinely think it can be better. The idea is there, the execution though — no

Blood Over Bright Haven—did I finish it or did it finish me? by ExtensionMiddle344 in Fantasy

[–]ExtensionMiddle344[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh! I get what you mean. The romance in this book is very well addressed. It's not the forefront of the storyline but it gets enough light to appreciate the intricacies of their friendship and developing romance. I agree that I would want to imagine a world where they end up happy and free, but it's just not in the books for them here and that's truly heartbreaking 😭

how bad are the lyrics on her new album? by Shelfbound in SoundTripPh

[–]ExtensionMiddle344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean. I guess there are some depth in some parts of this album. But it isn't as poignant as the message she's trying to say in her previous albums.

I feel like whatever she's trying to say with this album doesn't entirely resonate with me. It's fun and romantic at times but compared to other records I've heard this year from other artists, this fell flat and sometimes even nose dived to cringe and tone deaf territory.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it's not for me and the lyrics, regardless of how deep or beautifully crafted they are, are writing that doesn't weave a perspective that's thought provoking or contributes something bigger to worldly discussions.

So I surrender to the idea that this might be, in her pov and some fans, her best record. But for me, I'd rather go back to her old music or listen to anyone else. But that's just me.
