I can’t give too much advice on sourcing (besides to make friends with the restaurant staff, concert people, or even DND folks near you), but I can speak to the hallucinogen experience for depression.
I micro (sometimes more of a macro) dose 2-4x per year, usually in the summer. I haven’t found it to change my depression at all, outside of the day I trip. That day is an 8 hour giggle fest. Other than that… the subsequent days are the same as before.
I’m sure you’ll have a good time regardless, I’d err on the side of a half or quarter dose vs a true microdose, but definitely don’t expect a magic bullet
This might be basic, but a cold shower before bed is seriously helpful. Heck even a cold shower if you’re too hot to sleep at 3am. Wet skin + a fan and I’ll be cold even at 90F
Sometime around midnight is literally one of my all time favorite songs
The ori series are some of my favorites. I just finished will o wisps last night and now I feel lost and unsure what to try next… I’ll look at the ones you posted here!
Amazing, thank you!
Excuse my newness - how does one go about federating Kbin with lemmy? I like both, and I’ve figured out federating within lemmy, but getting kbin looped in is stumping me
If you like Brandon Sanderson, have you tried the red rising series? They felt really similar to me
I’m depressed enough knowing what I know about JK Rowling and Orson Scott Card…
I’m putting east on my TBR list! Thank you for sharing!
Oh man. “All time” is hard because I’ve been through so many phases of my life. I count a favorite as any book I’ve bought, since I’m usually such a library person.

- Enders game
- Name of the wind (still waiting for doors of stone, damn you Patrick)
- Wrinkle in time
- The giver
college:

- Mists of Avalon
Now:
- The housekeeper and the professor
- The house on the cerulean sea
- Stories of your life and others
- Shit Cassandra saw
- The last graduate series
- A Court of Thorns and Roses series (it’s a guilty pleasure and I’m ashamed to post it in the same thread as these classics but I’m addicted right now)
I’m working my way through some of the more “pop” books. Sarah j maas, “beach reads”.
Honestly they’re all super easy and I finish them in 1-2 days. But I’m shocked at how “THE BEST BOOKS EVER” of this day and age are so downright terrible compared to the best books of like pre-2000s.
Has anyone else noticed that shift?
