I don’t know if it’ll work for you, but I often can’t read for long periods anymore either. Audiobooks aren’t enough stimulation on their own, but if I find a combo that uses just enough of my brain, I can make it through quite a bit.

For me personally, I play Mario Kart on a muted TV often while listening to books.

A friend and I used to track our Overwatch ranked results based on how badly we needed to pee. It wasn’t very useful data, but it was funny.

I guess I’m one of them. I’ve never used LaTeX, but I don’t know how else I’d pronounce that.

My cat’s main redeeming feature is that I can slide my legs under her entirely to readjust positions and sometimes she doesn’t even look at me. Try to touch her, on the other hand, and it’s death.

My dog behaves like the cat in this meme.
