  • In the 2000s and early 2010s, less of your life was lived on a cell phone or smartphone.

    For kids now, it’s 100% of their lives. Post-COVID, the majority of social interaction between peers is through a social media app.

    That means that close to 100% of kids are on their phones during the school day. If you aren’t, you run the risk of social isolation and FOMO.

    Administrators can’t send a kid to detention for using their phone because ALL kids would be in detention every day.

    Here’s one article that examines the problem

    Columbus is a great little city in a not so great state. The local politics are quite progressive and the food and bar scene is quite nice. There was a decently sized queer community when I lived there a decade ago, and I’d expect it to continue to flourish as long as a major university is nearby.

    Winters are cold. Summers are hot. The weather is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️





  • Not OP, but I almost exclusively read novels and non fiction via audiobooks. For context, I’m on pace for 70 books this year.

    My main reason for audiobooks is I having a driving commute. Two hours a day round trip. Audiobooks keep me sane in a way that podcasts or music do not. I also do audiobooks when doing chores around the house.

    Second, I struggle to focus on reading a book on my phone. Too many distractions and I think the reading experience is subpar. I do have an eInk reader, but I haven’t charged it in years because it’s easier to do audiobooks.

    Physical books are rare in my home, but that’s a self-reinforcing cycle since I enjoy audiobooks so much.
