Being #unavailable gives your mind time to "breathe", go at its own pace, uninterrupted, and to chew on your ideas and whatever kind of creativity inspires you.
We didn't know it at the time, but my gen was creatively blessed to be able to be analog "bored" because, barring a landline, we were literally offline & there was no way to notify us that someone was trying to reach us for something. Not everything is mission critical.

Dear #genz #genalpha:
(1/2)
Here's some information from an old. Part of going analog is learning & happily acclimating to an "unavailable" lifestyle. Make sure your devices are dumb enough & your mind is made up enough to be more unavailable. They called my gen "feral" , but we were actually "free". The out of the house in the morning, & not getting back until the street lights came on? TRUTH. #imagination was our tech. Find your version of that. gl -
2025 was a year of radical change for me. Despite a UCTD flare up, I lost 50 lbs and took the vital step of cutting ties with toxic family to protect my mental health. Most importantly, I finally came out openly as Queer. I am omnisexual, and living that truth has been a major part of my journey this year.
I also finally deGoogled. It was a hard but cathartic experience. I deleted my accounts with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, moving my digital life to privacy-respecting, left-leaning services. Embracing FOSS, Debian, Docker, and Proxmox has been an incredible learning journey.
Moving to the Fediverse has been life-changing. For an introvert, finding a home here and posting regularly has been huge!
For 2026, I’m leaning toward the analog. I want to solidify my journaling habit, read more, and start walking in the beautiful park near our new home. I am even hoping to pick up a 35mm film camera.
Thank you to everyone I have interacted with here for giving me such a great outlet. I look forward to more conversations in the coming year.
Happy New Year and stay safe!

Dare to be Disconnected.
We are living in a permanent state of emergency, where every notification feels like a demand and every scroll feels like a duty. We have mistaken being informed for being engaged.
True presence is a revolutionary act in an attention economy. When you disconnect, you are not missing out. You are opting back into the physical world. You are choosing the air in the room, the weight of a book, or the person sitting across from you
Silence is not an empty space. Instead, look at it as it is where your own thoughts get a chance to be heard.
What would happen if you gave your full attention to something that couldn't give you a notification in return?

Do you ever miss the thrill of waiting for a new album to arrive? I wrote about the joy of slow media, vinyl, anticipation, and why sometimes being old-fashioned is rebellion. Come share your own slow rituals! #SlowMedia #Vinyl #AnalogLife #Dreamspace

Craving a break from the screen? You’re not alone. 👋
The tactile and tangible are making a huge comeback. More and more of us are seeking hands-on activities and products as a direct response to a sterile, digital-first world. It’s about reconnecting with our senses and finding joy in things we can actually hold.
Turns out, there’s a lot to love about pre-loved. Research shows 38% of Europeans have found their favorite possessions on second-hand marketplaces. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a desire for items with history and a story to tell.

Envie d’une pause de l’écran ? Vous n’êtes pas seul. 👋Le tactile et le tangible font un énorme retour. De plus en plus d’entre nous recherchent des activités et des produits pratiques en réponse directe à un monde stérile et numérique. Il s’agit de renouer avec nos sens et de trouver de la joie dans les choses que nous pouvons réellement tenir.
Il s’avère qu’il y a beaucoup à aimer chez les pré-aimés. La recherche montre que 38 % des Européens ont trouvé leurs biens préférés sur les marchés d’occasion. Ce n’est pas seulement une tendance ; c’est un désir d’articles avec de l’histoire et une histoire à raconter.
