  • It’s worth the trip, I promise. I grew up in Phoenix so I didn’t see it for a long time. It’s nuts. It absorbs sound really well, so after fresh snowfall, everything is so quiet it’s surreal. And then you hear the sound and sensation of walking through it, which is an experience in and of itself.












  • Before Reddit pissed off the Apollo community, they pissed off me. As a result, I downloaded the books app for my phone and put it where my Apollo app was on my homescreen, then I downloaded a bunch of epubs and loaded the app with them. Reading on my phone isn’t as good as a real book or an ereader, but it goes everywhere with me and therefore so do the books. Being on Reddit for so long, I pretty much have the muscle memory of opening Apollo when I am bored programmed into my lizard brain, so I end up opening the books app. Also, since I am not carrying physical books around, I find myself reading a bunch of books at the same time. I pretty much always am in the middle of a science book, a cooking book, a novel of some sort, and a book about playing pool.




  • You joke, but Reddit did something to piss me off a few months before the current fuckery, and I decided to find an alt and there weren’t really any, like I found Mastodon but that’s more of a Twitter replacement, never encountered this site while searching. What I ended up doing was downloading a bunch of books and putting them on my phone, then putting the books app where my Apollo app used to be on my homescreen. Now, more often than not, when I go to scroll, I end up just opening a book. I’ve got a little over 40 on there, they keep my progress, even across devices, and they work when there’s no signal so I no longer have to fear public toilets with shitty cell signal lol.
