I just saw on a friend’s Insta story a stupid video of a cop (#ACAB) being disgorged at great speed from a playground slide

Minutes later I saw a post (RIP ‘tweet’) about it in the ruins of the bird app and felt disgusted that I already knew what it referred to

I’ve got to become more offline

I hate what it does to my brain

What else could I be achieving with this time I waste

I don’t know how to quit because I still work in the media industry

Ironically I recently worked on a forthcoming book about how journalists struggle to ‘disconnect’ from the expectation to be ‘always-on’

I’m posting this here as Mastodon is a calmer platform

Day 3 of me not wearing an #Applewatch. I've been inseparable from it for about a year (AW 8, except for heavy duty outdoor activity, so since October last year).

I started having vibration alert stress dreams from my morning alarm. I knew then, on top of a lot of detail I'm not going to go into, that I was *too connected*.

So far the only thing I've missed is knowing what the temp and weather is going to be before I take the dog out without taking my phone out.

#smartwatch #disconnect

Look at all that lovely #moss!

Going #outside is a great way to #disconnect and spend some time for yourself. Check out our most recent #podcast episode for more on that!

Only disconnect: The pain of 'just thinking'
'Don’t Just Do Something; Stand There'

#disconnecttoreconnect #disconnect #connect #default #pain #thinking #cognition

Good evening, humans.

It's easy to get distracted by a noisy world
that profits from upset and unease.

Remember:
time
energy
love
are precious things

and that where you invest that love
(and energy
and time)
you invest your life.

Do so with care and joy.

Love you,
Jinxie Danger 🐾

Anything that comes
Between us only draws us
Close to each other

Found this post this morning that reminds us that "most" of us are normal and there are steps you can take to feel normal too.

I clicked frantically, trying to #disconnect. When the screen froze completely, I pulled the cord from the router, smashed my interface, but it was too late.

My own face leered back at me as every account, every contact, every sinew connecting me to my society, my culture, my species, were transferred to their new owner.

The past years had been so exhausting. She just needed to #rest.

When she curled up under the blanket that shielded the already warm April sun from her eyes, she wondered if it would be ok to #disconnect the phone until the end of the year.

"Dammit!" I cursed. "Where's the #disconnect? How many times do I have to tell that guy? No hunting!"
"Why don't you let the Tree give him a little scare?" Mary said.
"How does that work?"
Marcus got a sense of grim amusement from the Tree. They watched via ShrikeTV as the man slumped down asleep on the platform. He began to dream. In his dream, he screamed in terror as an anthropomorphic deer climbed to the platform and tore his arms and legs off.
"He won't be back," Mary assured him.

A #Disconnect
A yawning gap
Reality and mind
A flavoured thought
A point of view
The truth is hard to find
What's true for me
And true for you
Will differ in the end
The middle ground
is all around
Our fences we can mend

"When Twitter goes, it needs to take Elon Musk with it."

Excellent piece by @parismarx in his #Disconnect newsletter about what's coming for Twitter on April 1st after legacy verified checkmark will be gone.
