Petit rat de bibliothèque qui a beaucoup de mal à lire. J'ai 32 ans, je suis non-binaire (iel+neutre/masc) et vous pouvez me retrouver sur @tellington@eldritch.cafe. J'aime un peu tous les genres sauf l'horreur et le policier. Je lis (et écris) en français et en anglais.

Lil' bookworm who has a hard time reading. I'm 32, non-binary (they/them) and you can find me at @tellington@eldritch.cafe. I like almost every genre except horror and mystery/crime novels. I read (and write) in French and English.

Interesting but a little biased

In Laziness Does Not Exist, Devon Price talks about "the laziness lie" and how it affects people, mainly (according to his examples) by making them overextend themselves by fear of being "lazy". It was an interesting and certainly useful perspective, and Price acknowledges multiple times that people who don't do as much shouldn't be labeled as "lazy" either, but I was a little frustrated that all the examples provided were overachievers or ex-overachievers. I don't regret reading it, but I'd like another perspective next.
