The world is melting, infrastructure is crumbling, facist regimes are on the rise, continuing education is more expensive than ever, there’s very few jobs that pay enough to even rent an apartment after college, let alone buy a home, and the queerest generation ever is seeing their identities legislated away by an increasingly out of touch oligarchy.
But sure… phones are why teenagers are depressed.
YES.
I am getting so sick of all the "advice" on how you can be potentially slightly less miserable in this hellscape. I used to think it was mostly benign, but now I see it to be propaganda.
It may be true that less screentime can sometimes be good for mental health, but that's so insufficient that it's not even a drop in a bucket.
There's no self care that can make all this bearable & suggesting that we can individually tweak our lives until they're great is an insidious lie.
