looking at other peoples phones on the subway
its so fun to look over and see what other people are doing on their phones. are they playing a weird game? scrolling through their own camera roll? watching instagram stories? look at the faces of the people on their instagram feed. do you know any of them? i might even read a text message that someone is sending as they type it out. its way more interesting than looking at my own phone.

This is why I always curate an interesting experience for those who might be looking at my phone on the subway. I be turning my text size to maximum and typing out fake dramatic juicy email drafts for all to see. Performer Mindset.

Using my phone
re-calibrating my screen time to move between substack, tumblr, pi.fyi, youtube,, image based social capital wasn’t made for me </3 but i love to look at beautiful pictures and read beautiful things! and i’ve decided i love that iPhones exist - what a world, and all in my pocket! how convenient! and being terrified of the phone just because tiktok exists is a silly thing to do, you have to love things in their whole being <3

preparing and eating a pomegranate
pomegranates are delicious. i like to eat them straight out of a bowl with a spoon, but they are also great in yogurt, on ice cream, or as a sweet addition to a cheese plate. and thats fine enough—but more than that, the act of preparing a pomegranate is slow and messy. it requires patience and focus. you must put down your phone and concentrate on completing a single task. its meditative! and at the end, a beautiful bowl of tasty pomegranate seeds awaits you. there should be a pomegranate emoji.

watching the credits
when a movie is over, sit through to the end of the credits. everyone is so quick to stand up when a movie finishes. just sit! you don’t have to read them—you can just use the time to think back on what you liked about the movie, what was exciting, talk to your friends about what they liked. you can scan the credits for that one actor’s name that you couldn’t place. you already set aside 2+ hours to watch a movie. sit and contemplate for an additional 8 minutes and then get up and go back to the rest of your life!
