20 posts held, back to 26 April 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 2 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
340 reactions across 19 posts, in 15 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 51.5% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 19 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 340 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 26 April 2026 to 2 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
One more thing. ❗️I'm not sure why, but the lines I've highlighted in the screenshot above always remind me of Stephen King's writing, his approach to writing, if I can put it that way. You might say it's a stretch, and maybe it is, but I can't help making the connection 📚

Hi guys 🌞 Just yesterday, I wrapped up two book club groups dedicated to Stephen King, and to my immense satisfaction, the response to his writing was overwhelmingly positive — a real balm to my soul as a Constant Reader. Constant Reader — a term Stephen King uses to address his dedicated readers What continues to puzzle me, though, is how many people seem to look down on King, or regard him with a kind of condesc…

Hi guys! My apologies for not writing anything for quite a while. 1️⃣ First of all, I've been bogged down working on the Ulysses book club. The problem is that I'm trying to find a balance: on the one hand, I want you to enjoy reading the novel and develop your own understanding of it without me imposing too much of my own interpretation or turning the meetings into a series of rambling lectures. On the other hand,…

Hi guys! 🌞 Last time I shared a song with you and a quote by Graham Greene, a quote that was, for me, the key to interpreting the song Left for Good. So here it is again: “The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness. In misery we seem aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belongs t…

Hi guys! 🌞 I’m a huge fan of metal music for many reasons, but one of them is that a lot of artists in this genre engage with one of the most fascinating subjects imaginable: faith. As a rule, many metal bands approach this topic from the perspective of suffering humanity, and that’s why their songs are filled with pain, rage, and anger. And I believe this is much better than shallow indifference or rose-tinted ben…

Hi guys! 🌞 I guess what I’m about to write about here might be extremely obvious to some of you, but for me it was a sort of revelation or something I must once have known and since forgotten. When we read books, we should pay attention to the words and to what the characters say. Duh! But I think we should pay especially close attention to what marginal characters — or rather, characters who are seen as marginal b…

Hey guys! Have you ever heard a song in which the style of the delivery was the exact opposite of its subject matter — a kind of SUBVERSION? I'm not entirely sure I WANT to share what I'm about to share, but let's see — some of you might discover a new artist. Her name is Sofia Isella, and the song in question is "Above the Neck." She pulls off this subversion masterfully. 1️⃣The song starts with some strange, squi…

Hey, guys! Since I started the channel in March, the number of posts has grown a bit, so if you're new here, this digest might help you find your way around 🌞 1️⃣: Posts about one of the best word-smiths out there, Aesop Rock: ✳️Aesop Rock about his past and present ✳️Aesop Rock about rap ✳️Aesop Rock goes to therapy 2️⃣: One post about a curious sentence in a fascinating book and one post about difficulties wi…

Hi guys! 🌞 My TBR is full of books I want to read—short ones, doorstoppers, silly ones, whimsical ones, books written for fun and entertainment, philosophical ones, and ones that are plain batshit crazy. The list is ever-growing, and there’s no end in sight. Abandon all hope, whoever opens my file of downloaded books 😅 However, I’m a slow reader—an intentionally slow reader. Or rather, I became a slow reader not th…

Hi, guys! 🌞 Let’s talk a bit more about Homer’s Odyssey. Just imagine a world of different kingdoms and tribes, with no unified system of laws, no central authority, and no sacred text establishing shared standards of behavior. How do you survive in such a world? How do you build connections and trust among complete strangers? It seems that xenia was one way of doing so. 🤔 Now, what is that, you might ask ❓ Xenia…

Hey guys! 🌞 Not a huge or overly wordy post today — I just wanted to share a few interesting phrases from the Stephen King’s books I’m currently working on for the book club. The phrases and the sentences below are from the novella "The Mist" ⬇️ 1️⃣ thanatotic avidity: “They were staring with a drugged, thanatotic avidity at the loading bay...” “Thanatotic” comes from Thanatos, the Greek god/personification of dea…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @booksandwordsstuff. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 17 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
