I’m at that weird age where every younger person I meet makes me realize how much l've aged, and every older person I meet makes me realize I'm still a baby.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is “normal.” As if those families don’t have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn’t someone’s entire universe.

Geographical luck. That’s the only difference between you & them.

I hate that I had to grow up in the generation that got to see what life was like before the internet and then have to watch as it single-handedly destroys every single social entertainment space. Video rental stores, movie theaters, malls, arcades, bowling alleys, etc. The infinite access to at-home entertainment is turning us all into lazy, antisocial, depressed hermits and we’re just willingly allowing this to happen to us. The long term ramifications of this are so dire.

[Alex B. Loves Movies @firstshowing]

I'm constantly shocked by how few people understand the world is moving deeper & deeper into censorship, control, anti-freedom of speech, movement, expression, etc and this affects EVERY aspect of society - governments and corporations and businesses and everything. And it's bad.

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

Smart phones really just ruined everything. People don’t even know how to sit still and think anymore, let alone pick up a book and read. Everyone is constantly overstimulated, addicted to the passive consumption of random bits of content streamed into their eyeballs at light speed. Kids are raised this way from birth. It’s unhuman. Disastrous for the mind and soul.

[daz @MetamateDaz]

I really feel like work days should be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There’s really no reason for people to be at work MOST of their life. It doesn’t even take that long fr

Let people go home and have time for their families, partners/friends, hobbies, REST, & health! That’s why everyone is so miserable today.

I know in my bones that I wasn't sent to a planet of such beauty to work a job I hate for the next 40 years of my life

[bacchic owl ❤️‍🔥🌲 @doom_gazer]

People don't seem to realize that before phones you would just not see people nor hear from them for months and it was just fine. It is not the default to have access to anyone 24/7, nobody owes you that access and you don't owe it to anybody.

[Rajjath @Rajjath24]

i don’t dream about excess anymore. i dream about waking up without stress. reading in the afternoon. going for a long walk until my thoughts settle. cooking something good. calling someone i love. sleeping knowing i didn’t waste my life by chasing never ending wants.

[Chris Thorburn @CBThorburn]

Fuck your ChatGPT, if I want to see a caricature of myself I will make the effort to go to the seaside and pay £15 for a cruel man to give me body dysmorphia like we’ve always done.

the shower is the alternate dimension where I realize I'm low on shampoo but as soon as I step through the curtain I'm transported back to this dimension where all my memories are wiped like in severance and I won’t remember i’m out of shampoo until im back in the shower

[f4mi ‼️ @f4micom]

the number one thing that unironically keeps me away from my phone since 2016 has been turning off every single notification except calls from known contacts/having a mode to turn back them on from all numbers when i am waiting for a delivery

i literally just do not know when people message me unless i am back on the phone and if they get mad at me for this then it's kind of their problem, we used to have to log in to MSN sitting at a physical computer to message and that was the right way to do stuff, i do not think being available and ready to answer 24/7 is remotely healthy for anyone and i refuse to take part in that

[dash @thedigitaldash_]

it’s so nice and refreshing when you get to interact with a stranger who is genuinely pleasant to talk to. kinda mind-boggling how many ppl are unreasonably abrasive during normal conversations

[shy fawkes @butterbooter]

i’m going to delete linkedin and focus on what really matters this year. learning how to crochet. memorizing poems. attempting to befriend a crow. writing a kids story. going on walks. and doing yoga
