I went from reading a few books a year to around one a week. I wanted to write down how I got there, how it involved rethinking my relationship to attention, and why I believe reading books can heal your brain. I hope this gives you something useful! johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/how-i-lear...
How I Learned to Read Way, Way More

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone
Ian Coldwater 🧊🚫@lookitup.baby · 2mo agoSomeone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework
Given how broken social media algorithms are at this point, it feels damn near impossible to get anyone's eyes on anything, but my little brother just told me he loved my new story so much he read it twice, and now I don't care if anyone else reads anything I write ever again. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Genuinely the only AI statement I want to see anywhere that publishes creative work.

This one took a while to write. Put out an essay about the links between fandom and consumerism, and its effect on how we interpret fiction. Hope y'all enjoy!

In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me.
Binged all of Baby Reindeer and caught up on Half Man this week, and it's safe to say I am officially a Richard Gadd Enthusiast.

My secret 3rd thing is hearing a song or seeing a meme and saying, "That's so [character I made up in my head]!"
Taco Bell Quarterly@tacobellquarterly.org · 5mo agoYou're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen
I know it doesn't happen this way, but I'm still manifesting: The dream cover for my book features this ashtray sitting on a formica table with three cigarettes burning in it.
At least one of the five people currently hogging my Libby hold needs to Wrap It Up Already.
I genuinely love when I'm engaging with a piece of art I don't really like but think is nonetheless good. It always feels like an important opportunity to think more critically about art in general and about my own taste.
So glad to FINALLY have short fiction to submit again!
