sometimes the things that the internet offers you feel like theyāre poking an open wound and you need to delete Instagram for 10-24 hours. this app has helped me do that bc for better or worseā¦ I need to be Scrolling On Phone and this is much more calm

š±i have an iphone and deleting instagram off of my homescreen (so that i can still access the app if i want) is a game changer. it helps to curb the kind of muscle memory you get from opening it automatically to begin the mindless scroll. i still check it maybe look at a few posts but overall i'm barely on it now. i would spend 2+ hours a day on it scrolling mindlessly and by best time was thursday when i spent a whopping seven minutes on it!!!

ādeleting & redownloading Instagram every day or every couple days is so fun & a low stakes way to have a social media break. I try to only download it when I have a concrete āneedā for it on my phone & then delete it again once Iām doneā¦but no pressure :)

āor 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.

š¤«truly Americaās pastime. I was reading in the park earlier and overheard a girl dishing about a breakup to her friend who was kinda implying she was in the wrongā¦ and she was like āso did I lie? Yes. But I meant it at the timeā and then explained to her friend how the NYT connections puzzles work. I only hope people are as thrilled when they listen in on my crazy ass. I love being nosy

šŖ±really just stretching your whole body so intensely youāre using muscles you didnāt even know you had and squeaking like a little mouse. wiggling like a worm on the sidewalk after it rains when you poke it with your shoe, but a little slower. maybe more snake than worm. but to each their own
