This week, I read about digital resting points, inspired by artist @sighswoon. I’ve been appreciating these even before I had a formal name for them.
I had turned on notifications from @tinycarebot sometime during quarantine so I literally get push alerts that remind me to breathe and hydrate.
Karen K. Ho’s tweets to stop doomscrolling is such a public service.
Hannah Wise started a wonderful “not the news” triptych.
These tweets have been a refreshing break from the bottomless and overwhelming cycle of pandemic scaries, mass shootings and hate crimes dominating news feeds. So here, I’m offering you another digital resting place inside your email inbox: Meet floofy dog watching you watch waterfall. I hope you find at least one of these things calming. Stay as long as you like. Or, you know, give your 👀 a break.
