When a Fluke Gives A Moment of Respite From the World

Personally, I’ve hit the point where I’ve removed all forms of social media and news from my phone, turning it into a very expensive ebook reader with my Ebook app positioned where my browser used to be. Every time I reach for the phone to fill a few minutes, I’m reminded to read instead of spending the next hour doomscrolling Twitter, The Guardian, or checking FiveThirtyEight.

If you’ve never actually gone through the process of removing web browsers and social media from your phone, this is a damned good week to try it.
