It has finally happened.

For the very first time since 2013 I have a phone with no Xitter app installed 🔥

Now preparing myself to do the same with Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook and Threads 🤞

Maybe will take step further and uninstall Mastodon as well, who knows haha 🤷 😏

You know you have to go offline completely, at least for a while, when

- it is very difficult to get some sleep at all #insomnia
- and if so the "dreams" are nightmares in dystopian scenarios of violent suppression, hunting down people...

while in real life you personally not even close to live in a warzone or are a member of any "targeted group" - yet.

(Am white, senior, male, not "poor"..)

So i'm taking a break. All that horrible shit will go on anyway. 😒

Feeling drained by endless scrolling?

Welp, I tried Reddit. Thought it might be a good place to publish some work, so I went ahead and put it up there. My this thing: https://murderofarcwolves.substack.com/p/popping-ffxivs-time-bubble

Let's just say that it would be awful if the FFXIV Community on Reddit were to suddenly have to, as a group, face the Bene Gesserit Gom Jabbar Test of Humanity. Like, 98% of them would be dead from immediately ripping their hand right out of that box. So sad, a life lived only by instinct and wholly without self-awareness.

Sounds like my abusers. Glad they're gone from my circle. Now so is Reddit, thank goodness!

Honestly, something like this would've been awful if I still cared what strangers on the internet thought of me. As with my abusers, I now see them as the weak, terrified, little monsters that they are, keeping their boots on the faces of kind, empathetic giants just so they can see above their own self-loathing.

It's why I can be here. Because I am free to post, receive no interaction, and continue to post happily again tomorrow. And because you are lovely enough that you make it worth it to come back tomorrow even if nothing comes from my posts today. 💙

Thank you for that, BTW!

This is the power of compensatory ego-building, which I highly recommend for any kind person who's self-esteem has also been stomped to mush by weak, terrified, little monsters who we taught ourselves to fear because we didn't wanna be mean and laugh at them instead.

This is my second month YouTube free*

Honestly, it's really nice to have space in my evenings. I feel like I have time for games and projects again, because 1-3 hours of my day doesn't go to the black hole of video recommendations.

*I still watch things that people specifically send me, or that are part of e.g. a post here. I do not browse or go outside of that single video though.

I don't want that time taken up again.

In december hou ik altijd een periode aan met minder of geen social media en nieuws. Een tijd voor rust en reflectie zonder al te veel prikkels van buitenaf. Dus als ik niet of weinig post / reageer dan weet je waar het door komt ;)

Your mind is your most valuable asset. Protect it. 🌱✨

For the change of seasons, I used to do all relevant #spellwork, #cleansing, decor, card pulls, and other seasonal #rituals in one day during the Solstices or Equinoxes. I've realized that's not really the move given my #AuDHD brain lol. So lately I'm slowly doing some cool tasks leading up to the #Fall #Equinox.

This is also my first change of season since deciding to do semi-regular screen breaks/dopamine detoxes, and I'm looking forward to it! I took my first ever intentional detox back in July, and holy shit, I felt so calm during it. Going forward, I'm planning on doing them for 5-7 days during Solstices and Equinoxes, so my first seasonal detox is coming up this Monday. I get overstimulated easily, so I'm hoping that disconnecting from so much stimuli semi-regularly is enough to keep me regulated. I'm thinking about adding a short 2-3 day social media break mid-way through seasons too if I need it.
