#NES is ‘Non-Electric Sunday’

Yesterday was #NES or "Non-Electric Sunday”:


An experiment where only the fridge stayed on. Devices were locked away or off — battery powered, or not.


The electric car swapped for bikes. The Switch for a guitar.
Screens for pencils, board games, and books with too much dust, gathered.
Bulbs, for the circadian rhythm, deep conversation, and planning.


We had no idea, and didn’t really care, what time it was.


Strangely live-altering plus OK prep for the apocalypse.


Do try this at home.
