You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs and sea creatures that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.

Companies that sell electronics with a FUCKING BLUE LED, which cannot be turned off, that is constantly on while the device is operating or plugged in, are the absolute worst scum on the planet. What were they thinking? Why is this still so common?

Frustrating, but the pain of apple will soon be over, even if I lose all my group chat history. They have become the Microsoft of the 00's and I can't wait to be shut
