Rec | HAVING A STATIONARY PC

trying to make my internet usage more intentional by using my stationary PC build has been really great honestly. we lost the recipe when we lost the Computer Room in the American family’s home. there is something to be said for only being able to access socials in one room in the house. plus making purchases feels more serious on a big monitor than my phone screen, so financially it’s also been helping in a psychological sense

i've been meaning to do this with most online things as well. I saw a video the other day talking about how much it can improve your mental health to wait to search something up on your computer and if you forget to look it up, it wasn't really that important

COMPUTER TIME IN YOUR BEDROOM

It's the classic bad screen (work computer) to good screen (home computer) scenario except lately, the bad screen has extended to the phone.
I don't have the luxury of space in my apartment to have a computer room (office), but I yearn for that y2k experience. My version of this is sitting in weird positions on my bed playing music from my laptop while ~browsing the web~ late into the night and doing my best to ignore my phone. Why this feels less damaging than staring at my phone for hours is something to dive into another day.

treating my laptop like an appliance

I have it connected to a mouse & keyboard and on a laptop stand so I only can use it at my desk This is actually just growing into a habit, I only work on what I must digitally on my laptop then I close it and leave it behind so it doesn't become more of a fixation. I think I saw something similar here to treat ur computer like an appliance and have it in one spot but I idk

Gatoshop

I am getting very sick of entering a shop that says it’s filled with “artist-made goods” and its floor to ceiling baggu. I have a couple baggu pieces, but when I go into a store IRL or online that labels itself as a trinket trove in one way or another, I want to see real honest to god trinkets, gizmos, and doodads.
I’ve been collecting stickers lately, particularly vintage ones on eBay and weird artist made stickers. Gatoshop really helps me get my fix and add to my collection.
A studio run out of Mexico City, Inès Estrada and her team curate a lovely collection of local and international stationary, zines, keychains and other artist made gifts. They have some fun vintage toys and trinkets too and are always updating the website. check them out!
