Happy New Year, kids.
How was the break? Are we good? Did we rest? Are we detoxing? Are we going even harder AF? Good.
Iâm not a fan of resolutions because I know myself, and I often has problems following through with my personal well-being and physicalâand mental, spiritual, whateverâhealth. But if thereâs one thing Iâd at least like to attempt is to spend a little less time on my phone (and Twitter). Given just how toxic and harmful social media is, particularly for teenagers, Iâm always surprised that legions of them havenât opted out entirely. Thatâs why I was keen on this piece from Alex Vadukul in The New York Times about the âLuddite Club,â a group of NYC high schoolers that have switched to flip phones and ditched social media and technology. I donât know if a dozen or so kids with Wire-style burners is a genuine movement, but I’m here for it.
