@PicardTips@mas.to William T. Riker is an honest man. He can't pretend, so he doomscrolls. #riker #startrek #tng #doomscrolling

The Twilight of Literacy…? I swear, I know what the word doomscrolling means. After all, it’s been around since the twenty-teens, and was added to dictionaries several years ago now. I’ve regularly used the term, even in essays here on WU. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what doomscrolling felt like. But I’ve noticed something lately. Something scary. My own scrolling sessions have grown darker and more enthralling. And longer. Worse, I’m pretty sure the change is exactly what the platforms are designed to engender. Coming away from these sessions feels like emerging from a daze. I feel fraught, even physically agitated. I haven’t measured my post-scrolling heartrate or blood pressure, but I’m certain they are affected. So why am I partaking? https://writerunboxed.com/2026/02/25/the-twilight-of-literacy/ #REALWORLD #Declineinliteracy #Doomscrolling #Readingandmentalhealth #Writerssupportingliteracy
