This is a great piece by Katy Kelleher about getting addicted to reading gossip about women online.

I got sucked into a cycle of reading online gossip sites a few weeks ago, and I had to wrench myself out of it

The kicker is delightful — and exactly how I feel about Twitter (a habit which I am so glad to have said goodbye to)

In related news, I’ve started painting again, for the first time since high school. It feels nice to dip a brush in ink and swirl it across a page. I feel lighter. They can keep burning cats, but I don’t have to watch.
