I wish there was a topical Wordle. Like during the Queen’s Jubilee celebration the word was “crown”. Would add that extra bit of strategy that could make the game really awesome. Right now it’s only pretty awesome.

So excited to have purchased a @thelightphone. I'm more than ready to get rid of my iPhone. I can't seem to compete with the addictive nature of it, so I'm bidding it adieu👋🏼

Make sure they know how much they need me and miss me when I’m gone.
The @instagram feed algorithm has gotten so awful. I feel compelled to unfollow friends just so I don’t have to look at the same photo every time I visit.
Also creates a very, very stale feeling.
