Loved reading this, Vaughn! It resonates so much with me. I met so many cool folks in the early days of Twitter and IG (including you!). But as things have changed with social media, I hit a point where it was no longer fun/helpful and was starting to severely harm my mental health, so I opted out. No exaggeration—one of the best decisions of my life.
I do miss some of those connections I made on there, so I'm happy I can still keep up with you and others via these newsletters. I've always appreciated your thoughtfulness about design and life, so getting these longer reads from you has been great and feels like a much more intentional way of choosing what online content I allow in my brain.
