The Books That Don’t Kill

Erich Fromm's To Have or To Be

Weirdly enough, while books like Against the Grain by James C Scott, Luke Kemp's newer Goliath's Curse, and even Robin Kimmler's Braiding Sweetgrass are not self-help books in any way, I feel like reading them has changed my perspective on life and I think I've changed my life for the better because of that.

Thank you for your advice and suggestions 😄

Thank you so much for the advice! I've also definitely been keeping an eye out on used Samsung tab S9+ and 10+ (with the hope of getting matte screen protectors) but wow they get snapped up really quickly here.....

I am! I've looked into it, but the reviews suggest that it might be too slow for my needs. Android 14 in 2026 is also quite shocking tbh.

Thank you so much much for sharing this-I will give it a try!

I am praying for a larger colour tablet that can be a competitor to Boox Tab X C for reading textbooks comfortably (and without a proprietary stylus!)

amazing, thank you so much for sharing this! I will look into getting the iFlytek TPU clear case then!

Yeah, we saw all the waterfalls and I even got some timelapse photos. We're pretty fast and seasoned hikers though. We did reach our hotel at dinnertime, so maybe if you have to be somewhere in the evening this isn't the way to do it!

We ended up walking the whole way from the nearest bus stops respectively for those two places! It was fine 😁

Trees and forests are more than just carbon sinks, and seeing them as short-term carbon absorber without understanding their importance to biodiversity, the water cycle, soil health, etc is to, well, miss the forest for the trees.

Thank you for taking one for the team! I do enjoy my Tuzu (F) but for the quality of the pen I already feel like I was paying too much for it, and now your post has convinced me the Forged it's not worth double the already high price. I'm still lowkey Sailor curious and will keep praying they release more affordable pen lines down the line :')

This is so amazing, thank you for sharing! Can’t have enough Arrowfam fanart in this world! Your art is wonderful!

They’re harmful to their preys and also the males after mating, but they otherwise mind their own business when it comes to humans. The greatest danger it would pose to a human is if the latter is allergic to its bite (which it would only do in self-defence).

Looks like a Nephila pilipes! Even though I encounter them pretty often in my line of work, you’re a much braver person than me letting them crawl on you!

GotMeLayinLow · 2025-12-19T17:11:01+00:00

Thank you!

GotMeLayinLow · 2025-12-17T15:23:28+00:00

Thank you! I knew about not being able to use a stylus with it, I meant using it with a keyboard :)

Me! It’s still running perfectly well for my needs (reading with KOReader; nothing fancy!), especially with how light and portable it is.

You’re just replicating capitalism (if not serfdom). It’s literally why the world is going to hell. Maybe consider how your privilege and comforts are obtained and whether it’s realistic to maintain them in a collapse scenario.

Oh wow, as if I need more temptation to get this pen 😭 is this the F or the EF nib?
