Delete the app if you have it. Rediscover what you used to do before you scrolled--play piano, read books, practice stupid magic tricks, draw little doodles, make up games, find the most interesting cloud in the sky...

or whichever app is your go-to for numbing! currently reading the new Dean Spade (love in a fucked up world) and felt soooo moved by the 2nd chapter on patterns of behavior that we use to numb/dissociate (such as repeatedly opening an app/scrolling it with no intention)
anytime i delete the app off my phone im amazed at how much free time and attention it feels like i have to share.

I deleted the app off my phone, but I’m logged in on browser and I check stories and messages there. But I kinda love not having IG with me wherever I go. It quells the urge to post everything for validation or to prove I’m having fun/looking hot. I also don’t get the crazy ads on browser, and I don’t get sucked into the insanity of the explore page (which is exclusively weight-loss content somehow) because on browser, search and discover are different buttons. A lot of 2025 for me has been treating my Poster’s Disease. I nuked my Twitter/X account, and only use Bluesky (took that app off my phone too). I’ll download the Instagram app like once a week to share some work and things to stories, but I feel 10000x more sane not scrolling the app on my phone all the time. I’ll check Reddit or Substack apps if I need a lil scroll action. Read, write, be present with your friends. Take back your attention in anyway you can!

If you rent in nyc you probably know that dishwashers are hard to come by. Life was keeping up with handwashing dishes like Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a mountain.
Then I set this up. Takes up the same amount of space as my now replaced drying rack, and easily connects to the sink. It WORKS, Y'ALL. Surprisingly well. Had it for 6 months now and it may be the best purchase I've made so far this decade.
