New Zine: GET OFF YOUR PHONE and GET ON YOUR COMPUTER

[grayestofghosts]

I've published a minizine! It's called GET OFF YOUR PHONE and GET ON YOUR COMPUTER, and is about how mobile internet and social media have made the internet less enjoyable. You can find it for pay-what-you-want on my ko-fi or a free download on my website.

Nice zine ^-^

I’m fairly young, so fast-paced socmed has been prominent most of my conscious life, but I really only used it to talk to my friends until the last years of highschool. Probably the best decision I made lol. Anything that I knew about Tumblr/Twitter/Insta was all secondhand.

Even now, I don’t really use it to engage in much beyond following artists. There was a period where I was a bit more inflammatory, but it was still on ‘less’ active sites, and I got tired of it quickly because it made me so stressed.

And, well, the lack of site/account customisation does take a lot of the fun out of most socmed. What does it matter if I post something if I can’t make it look nice? If all I can do is post simple messages, I might as well just text my friends.
