Completely counterintuitively (to me, at least) I‘ve found that reading on my phone allows me to unplug more by making it “busy” with the book. (I usually prefer paper books tbh, but am actually *more* tempted to pick up my phone + scroll while using them.)

This is SO true.

A historical illustration from 1837 depicts two Dalmatian pelicans resting on rocky ground. The pelican in the foreground has predominantly white feathers with a slightly yellowish neck and a large, prominent bill colored in shades of yellow, orange, and pink, with a striking red patch near the eye. The pelican behind it is darker, with grayish feathers and a similarly large bill. Both birds have webbed feet visible beneath their bodies and are shown in profile against a softly shaded background. The detailed artwork emphasizes the pelicans' distinctive bill shape and textured plumage.
