Chelsey! What an amazing week of bookish goodness-- from Anne to J! I looove that line about not needing a protagonist / antagonist, just two characters who want different things-- so relatable to real life. 💛
J. Ryan Stradal is so wonderful in person! So happy we both got Wisconsin visits with him ❤️ I have already removed IG from my phone and just check DMs in the phone browser occasionally and otherwise just use the app on my iPad. It’s so clunky in the browser there’s no temptation to scroll. This keeps me from being on it while out and about and having to pull out a bigger device allows for a lot more think time before using the app. I took a very long break in 2020 and what I realized then is that I didn’t miss much of the content, but I missed my many people I connect with via DMs and stories - we’ve been there together since 2017! That’s the only reason I haven’t just quit IG altogether again.
That little trip sounds absolutely lovely! Yay for hugging your people and seeing internet friends in person! I haven't heard of the Off the Grid podcast but will be listening IMMEDIATELY because the balance of promoting projects/engaging in community while also not spending all my time on my phone is a tough one.
