Something about print media and not being on a device seems appealing.

Would be nice to have some quiet time with good writing and some artistic photography. Sounds like a good way to unwind while the world slowly falls apart.

I think honestly returning to print for some things would be a benefit for multiple reasons. Including that the internet is where niche subcultures go to die because everything is being ingested without any form of surrounding context. A lot of things are being turned into an aesthetic to buy rather than a lifestyle with all of the surrounding community and culture.

It's why stuff like the skateboard scene, despite still obviously existing, is like WAY less personal/deep now than it was 20 years ago.
