Hey rockstars, I recently read Rose Hirst’s essay for Roe Magazine, Not Everything Is About You. Please Learn to Scroll, about the strange habit we seem to have developed of encountering something online that does not perfectly fit our preferences and immediately treating that as a problem.

A Little More of the World
