That's like a lily

I've been slowly trying to cut down on various social media sites. I thought I was doing so well when I was only checking Reddit twice a week and checking FB basically only when I get an event invite. I deleted tiktok and didn't even miss it! But then I deleted my twitter because the app became unusable... and suddenly began checking Reddit every day again. This is unnecessary?! I'm trying to remind myself that I'm cutting down so I have more time to read/clean house/actually exercise and retrain myself to actually do those when I'm feeling bored and restless. I'm not giving up socmed or anything, but I think there's value in just not being on there as much. OTOH, I did used to check instagram both before and after work six years ago, and now I almost never go on there.

I do still check Tumblr 3-4 times a day, LOL. Imagine how much house cleaning and language practise I could get done before work if I only checked Tumblr once a day after work! And it takes half an hour just to go through my entire dash in the morning. I know checking once a day would be basically time-shifting it to after work, but I'm fine with shifting my Tumblr checking to the brain-fried after work zone.

I'm not planning to cut down on checking Discord 97 times a day, though 😎

Recently watched:

I'm halfway through episode 25 of The Best Thing. In theory I could finish it this week, but I think I want to keep it as my fluff show to watch after something more serious, and I'm not watching anything particularly stressful right now.

I have watched 13 episodes of Love in Pavillion and gotten to the demonic femdom arc people have said much of 👀 I am enjoying the male lead bloody and in chains while Liu Shishi torments him sexily. I don't necessarily care about the plot, but I am enjoying the silliness of it all (tbh, I also enjoyed FSM1, so sometimes I just need fantasy nonsense 🤣).

Three or Four episodes of Rings of Power season 2, and I'm really struggling with how Elrond doesn't get to display any of the qualities he had in season 1 that I found so charming. He basically just gets to be suspicious of people all the time now and that's not fun. I'm also 😩 at a character they killed off between seasons. But I'm liking Tom Bombadil! Ents! So there's still fun stuff.
