    “Stumbled upon this essay on Substack, read it and felt like crying. Will make you want to delete all apps. Throw away your phone. Quit your job in tech. Touch grass. Move to Paris.”

    “An excellent read, and a great reminder to seriously cut down screen time. I truly feel like I lost a part of myself around 2013 due to social media taking over.”

    “"You no longer think about hobbies. Your day is full, after all. Your life is a kaleidoscope of activity: fishing trips, police chases, cheating scandals. It’s neat and tidy, really - everything that’s interesting happens to you through the confines of a 4x6 rectangle. You start taking pilates because everyone else does. You hate it, and your abs never appear, and the classes cost $50 dollars a pop, but you can’t really think of what else you would do, so you go."”
