A culture of rapid responding prizes shallow reactions over deep reflection.
We shouldn't mistake promptness for politeness. If a message isn't urgent, it's not rude to take a week to reply.
It's better to be slow and thoughtful than fast and careless.

Social media technology- the way we scroll and stare and engage with it has made us less intelligent. The way it’s designed does things to your brain. I feel like people are zombies from it. Please take long breaks from it. Consume less media. Go close your eyes and daydream.
Working my way through the Sunday crosswords. Wondering if @rexparker had any favorites...

As someone who struggles with people pleasing behaviors, I am often so concerned with how likeable I’ll be and how I can try to get others to like me that I forget to consider if I even like them or want them to be a part of my life.

The goal of sharing ideas isn't for everyone to agree with you. It’s for some to learn from you—and for you to learn from them.
It’s better to risk social disapproval than to sacrifice self-respect.
Popularity is how many likes you collect. Impact is how many lives you enrich.

Signal made Instagram ads that shows users how much Facebook knew about them.
Facebook banned them.
“Being transparent about how ads use data is enough to get banned; in Facebook’s world, the only acceptable usage is to hide what you’re doing.”
