So what I do is, I wake up, and then I spend an hour scrolling social media that makes me depressed and angry, and then I'm set to start my day.

I like to do the Worldle puzzle in the morning then Google walk around whatever country it is, look at the art, galleries, coffee, shops, and bookstores. I set up YouTube in another tab and listen to music from there. It gives me something delightful to fall back on during the day.

Not great, Bob! @sometoast.bsky.social

What did I even do in the morning during the Before Smartphone era? Did I quickly pee standing up? Stare vacantly at the mirror while brushing my teeth? I can’t even fathom it.

I made a rule that Im not allowed to look at any kind of social media or news until after 10am. It has done wonders for my well being.

I recently started reading some of my current book first thing instead and it helps me get ready faster and in a better mood.

You manage to wake up *not* depressed and angry?

And so I wake in the morning and I open Bluesky, And I take a deep scroll and I get real sad, And I skeet from the top of my lungs “What the fuck is going on?!?”
