I doomscroll Tiktok every day and sometimes 30 seconds of content is enough for me to conclude an opinion on something. I know that can be harmful, but I have been doing this for years that this has been my normal. I don't set a screen time limit. If I do, I go to Youtube... #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice the medium in my life that’s normal is probably TikTok, it keeps me lazy and hooked and away from the reality of life. Honestly an anti environment to expose it would probably be to delete it but that would just make install it again 😭😭
One normal thing in my life is my phone, and it disappears so quickly because during that Verizon outage, I realized how dependent I was on my phone to get things done, an anti-environment would be trying to navigate my daily life without my phone #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice My google maps is instinctive. I turn it on when I drive, typing in my destination thoughtlessly. It makes me rely on notifications to get where i need to be, without having to analyze the roads im driving on. My anti-environment would be a trip with a physical map.
I think me being obsessed with my phone is so normal in my life that I don't realize how much addicted I am to it. An anti-environment would be not using my phone a lot and putting it down and spending time with the people I like. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice i would say a media that is very "normal" in my life that i don't really notice would be cell service? idk if that counts but im viewing it from a perspective that it's something i just always presume exists everywhere, so its invisible that way.
#hwa2 #buildthenotice The medium in my life that's so normal, it disappears is my phone and specifically texting. Every minute of every day, I am on my phone texting someone on iMessage or Snapchat. I can create a lockdown timer on my phone to limit my screen time.
#hwa2 #buildthenotice
A medium thats so "normal" is the humor my between my friends and I; we grew up in a rough enviroment and used humor to escape the realities of our situation. I guess an anti-enviroment i can enforce is noticing when we go from light humor to more offensive territories.
one medium super normal in my life is my phone, it takes control of me from the second I wake up and start to scroll and delays the way I start my day. In order to expose it I could download one of those apps that locks my phone until a certain time. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice music is one medium that's so "normal" in my life, that it disappears. It makes it feel like everything i do and everywhere i go, i am accompanied by music. To build an anti-environment I can use noise caneling headphones or earplugs to remove the music from the background
#hwa2 #buildthenotice a good one for me would be fashion, because I put alot of care into my outfits but I don't conciously think about it as a medium conveying a message. There is lots of art that already exists as an anti-environment for this, but probs smthn having my clothes stand alone
My phone is one medium that's so normal that I don't even think about how it just disappears. Phones waste time, it gives me feedback constantly and thats what I think intrigues us about them. I'd make sure to use screen time to make me not use my phone constantly and limit it. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice One medium that's normal for me is definitely my phone, like I'm so attached to it I can be called a cyborg. If it were to disappear, I'd either just retreat to my other devices or force myself to do something off-screen.
I'm reliant on my phone to provide entertainment like:-
One medium that’s normal in my life would have to be scrolling on TikTok and Twitter. At times I close it out just to reopen it a second later to refresh everything. An anti-environment option is to take a break from social media. #hwa2 #buildthenotice

I feel like social media is so normal in my life that I don’t even notice how much it influences me and my thoughts. An anti-environment would probably be limiting screen time so I actually notice its impact on me.
Typos in text messages. I always am used to my phone fixing my spelling mistakes that now it sometimes doesn’t fix them. I understand what my misspelling says but not everyone else does. I would force myself to remove the spell check completely in order to make me pay attention #hwa2 #buildthenotice
iMessage would be my most obvious choice, as the concept of texting being a *means* to interact with friends or family has completely vanished--I see it as talking to my friends, without any middle-man. I suppose a way to expose this would be to call them or meet in person. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
I think the most glaring example here is smartphones. Everyone uses smartphones daily, you don't think about it when you instinctively pick up your phone. It buries me in an online world that I don't even realize I'm in. An anti-environment would be somewhere without data. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
id say my gaming console is my medium. it takes up so much of my time throughout the week without me even realizing. i think this happens because i want to stay connected to my friends and not get FOMO. i can expose it by setting a play time limit so that i focus on school more #hwa2 #buildthenotice
we get to see each other in person. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice My ring is so normal to me I forget it’s even there. I’m always messing with it without thinking, like when I’m bored or stressed. If I took it off or swapped it for something uncomfortable, I’d realize how much it grounds me. 💍
my bed might be the biggest medium in my life. i kinda just lay in it and it just disappears. when i lay in it, my body naturally just feels the urge to sleep -- even before sleeping actually my body just naturally lays down. ig the antienvironment would be...break the bed? #hwa2 #buildthenotice
I think my phone is one medium in my life that just kind of dissapears. That's why putting it in my boot last week really got me to start thinking and acknowledging it. I think forcing myself to detox from it would rly expose its effects on me #hwa2 #buildthenotice
TikTok feels way too normal in my life. I open it without thinking and don’t even notice how dependent I am on it until I catch myself staring at my screen for way too long.
Looking at my screen and I’m like… yeah, this is bad. I need to pull an anti-environment for this.
#hwa2 #buildthenotice
a medium very normal in my life is instagram. i consume a lot of content on there on a daily basis. an anti-environment that I would create to expose it would be spending a day without it and noticing how often I instinctively reach for my phone or feel the urge to scroll. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
IG reels is a medium in my life. It is so normal to me that I go on it basically any time I am bored without thinking. It drains me and takes a lot of time. I think I could try putting a time limit on it or even delete the app from my phone to notice it more. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
Medium that has become so "normal" in my life is texting and Instagram. This creates a sense of immediacy and a habit of performance. Without it, who am I really? An antienvironment that would expose it would be to do something in my immediate life that counters that narrative. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
To design an anti-environment to expose television I would take the batteries out of the remote each time I use the TV so I only use it when I truly want to watch. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
One medium that’s so “normal” in my life that it disappears is television. When I come home from class I seem to unconsciously pick up the remote and turn on the TV even when I don’t have anything in particular that I want to watch. #hwa2 #buildthenotice
#hwa2 #buildthenotice
The medium in my life that fades into the background and feels like and extension of me are headphones. They are a perfect example of tech that becomes your environment. When listening to music or books you are transported to where the audio brings you not what's on your head.
