@lyndseyfifield Being forced to buy an expensive book that's relevant for just one year, or hardly gets talked about at all, is an ongoing thing we should talk about.

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

@DoctorLemma Right? I shall approach the walkway as an optimist, like you 😊 But I've become aware of this with elevator door close buttons too.

Some people mocked my call for microfiction and exactly 100-word drabble pieces, but some of the best submissions have been exactly that. The drabble is an interstitial form between poetry and flash fiction. It's a great discipline to learn.

[Lawrence @Lx495]

@Plague_Circus Learned of the drabble piece only just now. Looks like fun. I'm diving in. Was already trying flash fiction.

@wmata Provided it doesn't detract from the stations' intriguing, evocative coziness!
