I’m questioning all my media consumption after quitting Facebook last week.
All the timelines. Mastodon, Bluesky, Discord, RSS, Tumblr, newsletters. All of it.
Keeping up with the news is a colossal waste of time and source of needless stress. You can stay on top of everything you need to know in five minutes a day, most days.
This morning, I didn’t listen to any podcasts while walking. Ninety minutes of thinking, interacting with the dog, listening to the world around me, feeling my breath go in and out, and my feet walking the earth. I did not die.
