Today’s my birthday, and

I have a cold

I am so hoarse I only can communicate by whispering

it’s raining

Today’s my birthday, and

my hair looks lush

I’ll be meeting up with my loved ones in my favorite cafe

I refuse to have nothing but a marvelous day

i think we need like, phenomenology of any kind of media consumption? the “quick dopamine hit” is useful for understanding things, sure, but we need to balance that with our need to attempt new things.

for me, it goes:

consume a specific piece of media (as asked by someone/discovered)

find related media and situate them according to 1 (this is the bit that social media usually exploits)

once done situating, most of us still end up consuming and consuming related media, because we’ve kind of automated the “finding of/reaching to” things, which is usually the most arduous part of many tasks. think: how long it takes to get somewhere, how long it takes to find relevant things

at that point, you can do two things: move on from the genre. or be the one making works in whatever genre you’ve found yourself in (creating fanworks/thematic or theorising meta, or researchwork if you’re talking academia); it helps in situating yourself better, which is the productive part of engaging with anything. it helps you learn more about it, instead of just looking at similar things.

there’s also a third secret thing, which is being forced to consume more media on the point while paying attention to the minute details, which is the bit i hate, but usually happens because it’s easier to check than the loftier things. sorry and thank you

that’s usually how it goes for me. this i’ve seen applies to EVERYTHING: cultural norms, researchwork, art/media, most things social, beyond just actual physical navigation
