I dropped my phone in yoghurt this morning which somehow messed up the touch screen even more than it was already messed up, which has rendered my phone functionally useless now. it's frustrating for many reasons (two factor authentication apps being useless when the touch screen won't let me type in my passwords) but what really bothers me the most is how often I keep picking up the phone to go scroll Tumblr or something else before realising that's not going to work. really highlighting how often I use my phone for mindless social media scrolling. it's not a good look on me.

but also. it's a brick. that still delivers me notifications but it is also a brick that, when I dare open an app, even if I carefully try to scroll the wonky touch screen will within one single swipe have activated five different buttons and composed a letter to satan

#also it's not like the WHOLE phone dropped into the yoghurt. it was a corner. my phone is in a silicone case. #i could wipe it clean and it was fine. #but the touch screen has been wonky for so long i'd already ordered a replacement screen to fit in #(and a replacement battery because i last replaced the battery in 2021 and its due again) #so idk i guess some moisture got in anyway #or something idk #my phone is an iphone se from 2018 that i refuse to replace because a) i can't afford a new phone b) i can't afford a new phone and #c) i will repair it and continue repairing it until it dies for good because fuck apple #so yes i'm on tumblr on desktop right now just so i can make this post
