I’ve decided this is neutral in terms of ethics. I’ve watched women fight with their significant others over sleeping with younger women, marvel explainer videos, men checking for cheating girlfriends on home cameras, endless tiktok scrolls, conversations about the debate, casual convos about grocery shopping. It goes on and on. The easiest way to peek into someone else’s life when you’re bored
Mostly tho, I read
if you cant get yourself to put your phone away quite yet, just get yourself to look at the room behind your phone, or the real world, as a constant practice. its like when the screen used to go black between eisodes of netflix loading. a reality check. it feels good, i promise. foreground the bavkground, even for a moment. be kind to yourself
Prevents me from spending an unwell amount of time on instagram and twitter. It shows you how many times you’ve tried to get on an app in the previous 24 hours and makes you do some extremely annoying task beforehand. Bonus points if you turn on front facing camera so you are forced to look at yourself every time you go to sad scroll. It is rewiring my brain to feel disgust when I click on those evil apps
