I'm 31. Time to Pick an Urn. Apparently.
I deactivated instagram. It's probably temporary, but for now it's helping me avoid doom scrolling and finding my way into comment sections where I inevitably go on a path of mental destruction while I read long threads of arguments between complete strangers saying some pretty heinous crapola.
