ATM, they have limited screen time on the weekends - none during the school week.

However, they aren’t allowed on Roblox at all because of stories like this one.

I’ve made the switch from iOS to the Light Phone iii from @thelightphone.bsky.social.

Not on my phone nearly as much. Easy to carry. The camera is fun and easy.

So far, #goinglight is going great.

This looks amazing. Not practical for me at the moment, but really beautiful and thoughtful product.

TIL you can still backup your kindle books if you have an older kindle and plug it into your computer. Handy.

One of the hardest parts of giving up Amazon has been my library of Kindle books.

I love my ereader, but finally figured out a new way to buy and access books.

I bought my first ebook from someone other than Amazon today and it felt great!

Currently trying to figure out how / where to buy ebooks that I can read on my Kindle…or, if I need to buy a new ereader like the Kobo. Any thoughts?
