I've been wanting to get off Instagram but I kept it because I wanted the music recs. Thankfully PI. FYI has way better music recs so I can be free from doomscrollingā¼ļø

i canceled my Spotify account over the summer and have spent the last few months rebuilding my digital music library on a refurbished iPod Touch. reading critiques of the app (and itās enshittification), i realized i wasnāt even sure of my own musical tastes and preferences. i had stopped picking for myself, stopped seeking out new music, ceasing to know how to choose what i wanted or articulate what i like.
breaking free from the algorithm has been such a joy! iām borrowing gobs of music from the library, rebuilding my old playlists, and consuming more music than i have in years. and better yet, my data isnāt being tracked by Spotify and i own whatās in my personal library. further, my receptors are more open when iām out in the world exposed to music, searching for recommendations in an organic way.

Iām determined to use my phone about 90% less in the new year. Iāve replaced IG with Pi.Fyi & now Iām using an ipod for all of my music!!! Thereās something so sacred about the process of curating the music that actually takes so much time. You have to buy or download the music (which, buying on itunes has felt like a supportive option for the musicians I admire. $10 bucks for one of my favorite albums. down.) Then you drag it onto your ipod. Watch the āSynchronizingā wheel on your ipod. Eject the Ipod. Go to Cover Flow to see your albums lined up. Itās amazing, and it requires effort and time. Versus on spotify, you just press the plus button and pay the monthly 9.99. Its so wild. What music do I actually like/need to get through my days? Iāve let the machine of algorithms and apps decide. I literally was stumped trying to think of what music I HAD to have. I want my life to feel more intentional in every way. I want to be extremely present. But, that can feel like so much pressure and overwhelming. This is such a fun refreshing start. GO GET ONE!!! šµš¶š§

My favorite flavor of ice cream followed by moose tracks. Had some with apple pie that my aunt made for my birthday the other day and it was muy deliciosoš
