Tumblr should never have given us polls. Everyday I have to see years-old polls cross my dash proudly proclaiming past-me's vote which I now disagree with. Let me change my vote!! I have rethought which Tetris piece is the sexiest.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.

maybe you need to ignore the urge to disappear and just exist a little louder instead

Happy father’s day to all of the good men who have devoted their lives to the wellbeing of the children in their care, biological father or not if you’re there for them, you’re a good man and their true father.

It's kind of interesting how people around my age have made almost a 180° turn when it comes to things like smartphones and social media.

Ten years ago you would have seen people my age clowning on people who complained about other people being on their phones all the time.

I remember this one illustration of a parent shielding their child from a rain of smartphones by using a book as an umbrella. I can't find the post or the original illustration right now, but I remember people scoffing at it.

I remember people sharing an early 20th century photograph of a bus full of people with their noses in their newspapers, using it as an example of people ignoring each other before the era of smartphones.

It was this photograph, if I'm not mistaken.

And now many people around my age (and younger) are ditching their smartphones, getting flip-phones or "dumb phones," searching for analog replacements of various apps, collecting and interacting with physical media again, etc, etc.

I think a lot of it has to do with how much technology & social media have become more depressing over the years, not to mention invasive. The people in the photo above might have been ignoring one another in favor of being engrossed in the paper, but at least the paper wasn't demanding their attention at every moment (nor stealing their data) and once they were done reading the paper, they likely moved on with their day.

But beyond that I also think a lot of us realized that the social media that was supposed to connect us was (more often than not) making us angry and lonely, and that spending every moment of free time in front of a screen was not living.

This shift in opinion has been very interesting to witness, and it makes me hopeful.
