doomscrolling instagram

The sound of the birds complements the sound of the bluetooth speaker as you sit on your porch sipping green tea and doomscrolling instagram. You heard on the news that we are closer to nuclear annihilation than ever and that Kim Kardashian has a new partnership with Beats headphones and you don’t really know what to make of all of it. The world marches ever onward along the brink of collapse and you still have to go to work tomorrow, and that really sucks because your job makes you stand up and walk around and talk to people and all you want to do is lay down and look at your phone in your hand and scroll the timeline so you can keep your finger on slowing pulse of societal decay and also so you won’t miss Kanye’s latest track because you heard that he goes full Hitler on this one and you really want to know what that means. Subtle lofi music pours out of your speaker and all around you and you Thank God that you are not an orphan in Africa or a slave in North Korea and that you get to call the President a cuck whenever you want. Little droplets of resigned acceptance wash over your inner outlook and you lock your phone to stare at the sky with your eyes closed.
