I'm SO overwhelmed: is it that damn phone?

posted on Jul 13, 2025

I've noticed something recently: I'm frequently overwhelmed. Worse yet? My capacity for hobbies that used to nourish and recharge me are so low that I cant really engage with any of them. And honestly? I'm starting to think it's that damn phone. I've starting to realise something: the internet used to be an escape for me. Now? I feel like its a weight thats dragging me down. A magnetic pull away from my hobbies, clarity and agency. I end most days completely exhausted and with no capacity to really think.

They were 2 very different protests, and having spoken to a few other trans folk across the country about this, our experiences have varied a lot. It made me think a lot about the purpose of protest and how important it is to cultivate the right vibe, and to not let them get captured by the "well ackshully" brigade.
