It’s what I used to make the images for my latest home screen blog post.
The last time I posted about my iOS home screen was back in 2021. In some ways, not much has changed in how I set up my device, but in other ways, the entire philosophy is new. So, I figured now was a good time to share my current home screens. Yes, plural, because I’ve completely embraced the focus mode lifestyle. Let’s dive in.

Another month has come to an end.
February brought the cold. We saw snow. We saw “feels like” temperatures that were just cruel for the Pacific Northwest. But the last few days have seen the return of the sun.
Cats, records, beer. Not a bad month.

There are certain records that can pull you in closer to the studio and writing rooms that an artist used to create the musical landscape around them. Self-Soothing is one of those albums. Nona Invie, the ultra-talented songwriter from Minneapolis, crafts arguably her most personal LP to date. “This is a very personal record. I felt very selfish making it. Self-indulgent,” Nona says. “I am an introvert, but I need to share. This record touches on feelings of guilt and shame after a long-term relationship ended, on remembering friends who died too young, on toxic love in friendship and romance, on hopeful feelings of creating and living in a fantasy.” Over the course of eight heartfelt songs, Invie bares her full beautiful soul for all the world to see, and features some of her strongest songs to date.

The third LP from the upstate New York indie punk band is called The Highs, The Lows, and Everything In Between and is filled with anthemic rock songs that do a nice job of encapsulating the past few years of not only the band’s life, but ours as well. The lyrics are very relatable, and the music itself is crisp, poised, and filled with the utmost passion behind each note. Originally released in a series of three EPs, the full artistic statement comes into focus with the last piece of the puzzle coming out to connect the dots of the band’s vision.
