i have chronic sleep problems and in a few bad weeks of it my last year of college i would sometimes go out to my balcony at the 3-5AM range (when i would begin to get antsy) to journal or smoke, i would look up and see this little star that was flashing different colors!!! kept me company
according to the internet, its name comes from the Greek word for sparkling and article linked explains why it flashes/twinkles rainbow colors!

I donāt personally keep track of the stars or anything, but i feel like this year the planets have really been lighting up. I first caught venus shining and mistook it for a helicopter, then all the planets were visible at the same time, and now jupiter is probably the brightest Iāve ever seen a star tonight. Not exactly sure why theyāre showing out this year but it is beautiful.

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
