a few days ago, i tried out royallmonarch’s rec about keeping your phone on grayscale before bedtime, but i just ended up keeping it on grayscale all the time. the lack of color just decreases the dopamine i get from scrolling by like, 20% across the board, leading me to choose other activities over it more often. would recommend going the extra mile

As it turns out i am a toddler just fascinated by shapes and colours and everything is more boring in black and white
if you struggle with being on your phone a lot and doom scrolling, I’ve found that setting my phone up to go grayscale/black and white at certain times really helped me!
on apple it’s on shortcuts and on android I think it’s modes&routines (?)
Give it a try! I hope this helps someone 🫶🏻

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

it’s so bad that discourse about it being bad is kind of played out now but it bears repeating how fucking bad it is
