the internet didn't use to feel this lonely there used to be public chats that always had something going on and now nobody talks to me and i fall into desolate despair because i'm a traumatized fucking mess who can't make friends anymore because everybody is scared of talking to each other
@mavica_again anything you want to chat about?
@mavica_again as a preface if you have matrix or signal i could chat there about various things
regardless of that when you don't have anyone to talk to directly and just want something from other people i feel like art can help to some extent. there's a lot of free webcomics and books and such online and i usually end up reading ones that are character focused and have unusual enough situations to give new perspectives and lots to think about
thundamoo is easily my favorite author for how well she can portray absolutely wild characters and situations without making any of the important ones feel annoying or particularly dumb. important warning though they're all absolutely horrifying
