young people (people of my generation) are AWFUL at picking up the phone when you call. even when they're your best friends, they'd rather text and not have to actually generate and communicate their thoughts in real time except when they're forced to irl. it really irritates me, especially when i know they're not actually doing anything significant when i try to call. cmon guys, a good phone call goes a long way!!!

the only time i dont answer the phone is if i cant. idc if i dont know the number, idc if it's someone i haven't spoken to in ages, it doesn't even matter if i like the person or not. texting is horrible and i think people's call aversion is un peu absurd. there's nothing like hearing another person's voice

Stop texting so much. Call your friend, or anyone. A phone call can be so much faster and efficient. Especially when you’re trying to make plans. There’s so much communication that’s lost when you don’t hear someone’s tone. Listen, I was a salesman before I worked in the entertainment biz and I spent eight hours a day on the phone. Cold calling. It was disgusting. But if there’s anything I learned, it’s that if you want to close a deal it starts with picking up the phone.

sometimes i kinda forget sometimes that phone calls aren't just for family, call your friends! text catch ups suck and it’s so nice to hear the voice of your buddies

i know that most people cool enough to post here probably know this by now, but wired headphones are the best. for audio quality, yes, but also cos i’m wearing jeans with rly small front pockets, so my phone is in my back pocket and my wired headphones tell me that my phone hasn’t been stolen again

substacks are the modern blogs now, right?
i've got my own substack linked in my profile under 'website' (i need to post more often, working on that). and of course, rayne-fisher-quann's substack is top tier. i read her stuff and i wish i could write nearly that well.
as far as traditional blogs (ie, dedicated websites), dangerous minds is a cool music blog that posts (or at least used to post) about random things in the world of 70s and 80s art rock and post-punk. again, not sure how active they still are but it's got that loose writing style and primitive design of the late 00s/early 10s blog era that i wasn't really around for but get nostalgic over nonetheles.

cos half of us are experiencing the feeling of being genuine on public social media for the first time and we don't know how to handle it!
