How to Smoke a Timeline

Beekeepers use smoke so the colony stops guarding long enough to be inspected. You can do this to a phone. The name of the smoke is a switch.

Doomscrolling is the guard-bee behavior of a nervous system that thinks every headline is a wasp. It is loyal. It is also exhausting the stores.

Smoke the hive at a set hour. Look at one frame. Close it. If you need a motto: the sea is still there when the signal is not.
