My folks got me a phone with prepaid minutes when I got my first car just after high school. One of those old black flip bricks with enough money to call home if I locked my keys in the car or had other car related issues.
(rb maybe so I get more answers <3)

the fact that electronics don’t come with chargers anymore is the death of honor
#my first cellphone from when i was 20 came with a lightning charger the likes of which i’ve never seen again#it lasted up until like a year ago. it was a beast#every charger we’ve gotten since has been dogshit & our newer phones didn’t even include one

September 28th, 1996
[Incoming call, Saturday September 28th 1996, 10:08 am]
*distant voices and laughter in the background* *sound of multiple car engines* *beeping of a car horn* E: Dusty-Bun, is that you? D: Hey, El! E: Hold on - *beep of a button being pressed* *thudding sound of a handset hitting a wooden surface*- you're on speaker! W: *mumbled* Good morning- *stifled yawn* or afternoon or whatever D: How was the game? *sound of someone shuffling into the room* M: *far away but getting closer* You’d know if you were here, asshole!
D: It’s called work, Michael. We can’t all have weekends off. M: Yeah, right, because an all-expenses paid trip is such a slag. D: You’re just jealous! *ring of a bicycle bell* D: You’ll never guess where I’m calling from. M: If you say the toilet again, I swear- D: That was a mind-boggling experience, jackass! You should have been more appreciative! M: We’ve been using walkie’s since fifth grade, dude, pretty sure you’ve called us while taking a shit before. D: I wasn’t in another state then! We’re not even on the same continent right now and - *motorcycle in the background getting louder before receding again* W: Just tell us where you’re at, Dustin. D: Fine - I'm in front of La Sagrada Familia! M: So you’re looking at a construction site? I’m sooooo envious- D: You so are! Both of my trip and my sexy sexy mobile phone! M: We- W: Stop bickering! *the slap of skin hitting skin* M: *rustling fabric* OW! This is abuse! W: Leave me at the altar then, you baby. M: Your baby. D: *over the sound of far-away laughter* You guys are a fucking nightmare. E: I should have stayed home. M: Yeah, you should have! *sound of metal rattling* *sound of books thudding to the ground* M: EL! You can't just come into our house and -
E: Be nice to me, then! D: El, when are you getting here? E: I’m flying out tomorrow afternoon - dad’s dropping me off at the airport at 2 and I have a layover in New York. I should land around 10 am local time. *rustling of fabric* *the creaking of the springs of the couch cushions* W: *getting farther away* Stop planning your trips in front of us! M: Yeah, some of us don’t have our flights paid for by the government. And SOME of us care about our friends! *sound of books getting picked up* W: *distantly* And family! M: Yes, thank you, babe. W: *voice getting louder, closer* It’s called homecoming for a reason, Dustin! D: How many times am I going to have to apologize? M: Until you’re actually here for homecoming next year! *sound of springs squeaking as someone flops back onto the couch* D: I’ll be there at thanksgiving! You could see me next week if you wanted to! M: Yeah, but you broke the tradition! Which means the streak is broken and there'll be less pressure to come next year so someone else won’t be able to make it and it’s all ruined and it’s your fault! D: Relax; no one’s going to miss it next year. I wouldn’t have either if I’d known you were going to be such a stickler about it. W: How didn’t you know? Mike’s always this whiny about this kind of thing. *fabric rustling* D: Hey, Will, you know, I could still introduce you to my colleague Steward? Offer's always open- W: Oh no, I agree with Mike, Dusty. His bitching makes sure I don’t have to whine about it - that’s exactly why I said yes to his proposal. M: *scoff* Yeah, that’s why and not the mind-blowing- W: Mike, think very carefully about what you say next and remember that until this is legally binding I can still take Catherine and leave! M: As if Catherine would choose you! *fabric rustling* W: Fuck off. *sound of air kisses* E: Dustin, I might just call Bernard and tell him to get me an earlier flight. M: You don’t have to be here, El, you’re the one that broke in at too-fucking-early o’clock- E: Mom and dad sleep in on Saturdays! I was bored! M: And we don’t? Some of us have to wake up at six every morning to get to work! E: Oh pish posh. W: *tiredly* Mike, don’t antagonize my sister. M: Will, don’t defend my ex-girlfriend. *springs squeaking* M: Will- No wait come back- *feet hitting the ground* *running footsteps* *shuffling and clothing rustling* *giggling* E: *loud sigh* I wish Max were here already. D: *crackling connection* Where are they? *cut-off yelp in the distance* *sound of head thudding against the wall* *giggling* E: They’re still asleep upstairs.
D: Did Lucas- *sound of someone grunting as they're pushed backwards* *sound of someone jumping over a couch* *sound of springs bouncing as El yelps* M: Wait a second - *sound of handset getting picked up* *clicking of a button* Will, can you and El start on breakfast please? *muffled protest in the distance* *confused shuffling* M: Thanks, babe. E: Why can’t I just stay- W: *distantly* El, just come in here! E: *muttered* whatever, stupid men...*couch cushions shifting* D: Is she gone? M: Yeah and I’ve taken you off speaker. D: SO? M: *fabric rustling* *couch cushions shifting* Okay, Lucas got the r-i-n-g, but he’s not sure when or how yet. He’s thinking of doing it at Thanksgiving with his family, but he’s worried Max might want something more private. D: She’s going to say ‘yes’ anyway. Tell him to do it with his family around. And to stop being a coward. M: I’ll let you tell him - they’re just coming down the stairs. M: *shuffling of a phone pulled away from a face* Lucas, Dustin wants to tell you he loves you! *distant voices* *sound of phone getting handed over* L: Hey, man D: Ask her around your family and stop being a coward. Hell, why not just do it tonight? *rustling of wind* L: Love you too, Dusty-Bun. *distant voices* D: You guys really need to let that go. Even Suzy has stopped calling me that - most of the times. L: Ew, I don’t need to know that. D: You’re the one with your mind in the gutter, dude! L: Anyway, we are going to help chaperone the homecoming dance tonight. D: Seriously, all of you? That’s so lame. We used to curse the chaperones. L: Yeah, honestly we’re not happy about it either, but Mike and Will don't have a choice so they signed us up against our will as well. We’re only here for the weekend anyway - and as we’re good friends that actually want to spend time together… D: I know you all miss my beautiful face but you guys really should stop whining about it. It's unbecoming. L: *scoff* D: You can still ask Max - it would be cute! Remember the snow ball? L: Absolutely not. I’ll probably spend the entire night holding Max back from spiking the punch, anyway. Mx: *yelling from far away* If I’m going to have to spend my evening around high-schoolers AGAIN, I might as well have a little fun. And seriously these losers need it - it’s like they all have sticks up their butts all of a sudden. L: *grinning* Remember Junior prom? *loud rattling in the distance* W: *far away* EL! PUT THE PAN DOWN! E: *distantly* DON’T MENTION THAT! L: *sound of phone being lowered* *voice more distant* Oh come on, El! It was funny! W: *distantly* PUT IT DOWN! WE GOT THAT FROM MOM! L: *grazing of phone against ear* Anyway, how’s Spain? D: Great - I had a symposium this morning but I’m free-roaming this afternoon. L: That’s great dude - Oh, breakfast is almost ready. Max, you want to speak with Dustin? Mx: *closer than before* No, you know I hate that guy. *sound of fabric rustling* *giggling* *sound of a hand being slapped away* D: Love you too, Max! Mx: Stay safe, Dusty-Bun! Don’t forget my fucking magnet! D: I won’t! Where did Mike go? L: He’s playing referee in the kitchen. I’ll tell him goodbye for you. D: Thanks! Talk to you guys later! *distant chorus from the kitchen* Bye!

second iteration of medieval girls with phones after the first print im making for my printmaking class
#wip#trying ti find a balance between the stiff anatomy in medieval art and the shit ive been learning in life drawing#just a fun thing .#i am not doing another print like ny first one i learned my lesson#maybe one day when i get better at carving but#ill post the print im referencing after i actually print it lmfao#maybe ill do a third piece with a phone from the 1800s bc my print is of a cellphone.#it is a silly drawing but im also trying to say something about how humans are fundamentally the same.#anyways i NEED to take a medieval art history class my brain has just been on that era#wish i had a medieval dress for fabric reference ………….. i cannot make anything rn

Another Grimmjow dream, good God :'D
I was in some school and found out little Grimmjow (maybe 5 years old at max) had been in this school too but since he was aggressive kid, he literally bit other kids when he got angry - and this happened often and daily, he was kicked out.
Luckily, and apparently, Gojo from JJK found him on the street and took him in, starting to train him. Grimmjow was able to use magic / energy attacks etc. and Gojo saw a lot of potential in young Grimmjow. During the years Grimmjow grew up to be a fine man - what he is, anyway.
When I finally found him (I don't know why I was searching for him anyway), all what it honestly took was that our gazes met and clothes started to come off instantly :'D No words, no introducing ourselves, nothing! Just eyes meeting and off we go! :'D
Luckily I woke up before things got more juicy than that! I'm not ready for such "action" dreams.
This dream too is easily over 20 years old when I saw it first time. No knowledge of Grimmjow or Gojo back then.
#Text#Dream#Neis dream#Grimmjow#Bleach#I started to play a dating game few days ago#I wonder is it coming in my dreams now :'D#But at the same time this dream IS OLD#back in the days when I saw it first time we had no smart phones#No apps or internet etc for the phones either#All what you literally could do with your cellphone#Was to call and text and play this worm game which was in the phone already#And that's it - nothing else#13.10.2024

every time my phone goes off i have to physically restrain myself from throwing it on the floor and hopping up and down on it like elmer fudd on his hat. is an addendum i feel i need to add to any conversation about phones.
#my phone is as little phone as i can personally and legally help#my dad had a phone surgically implanted in his head growing up (first gen cellphone haver) and if i am holding my phone when someone calls#i will throw it across the room on instinct.#the call symbol incites fight AND flight in me simultaneously im sorry phone

this morning, after not having visited in well over a week or two, jing yuan really said “i sense that her affections are beginning to lie elsewhere let me just fix that” and decided to randomly show up 😂
AND TONIGHT HE��S BACK BUT IN A DIFFERENT SPOT??? he has literally NEVER visited the express twice in one day; my delusional brain is convinced that he’s super mega jealous of aventurine 😏
#🎮 kayleigh plays honkai: star rail#listen. jing yuan is the reason i started playing the game. he was my first 5* character. he has been my husband this entire time. but like#i mean aventurine is easier to build than he is so like. i can’t help it. also aventurine is much more my type because like#(gestures at kaeya alberich) i have a Type apparently 🤡#first screenshot taken via my ps5 whilst the second one was taken via photomode on my cellphone 😅 thus the quality differences 💔

No one talk to me I just came back from a family vacation to find out my favorite youtuber ever is leaving the platform.
I am devastated.
(I am actually happy for him, he has given me so much happiness for like 8 years. He deserves to let the channel go an enjoy his life. It just hurts, but I'll get over it
I'm so thankful for MatPat and Steph. I Hope every future endeavour or project they take on is successful and that over all they have a happy and fulfilling life with Ollie.💚❤️💛💙)
#I leave to a place with no cellphone signal and come back to this?#may be the lord was protecting me idk#What do I call this? a personal rant? Im not really ranting more like letting my feelings out#venting if you#never done this on my blog before but I feel like I have to#I've been a Fan of game theory since I was like 13 or 14#He was like the first youtuber I ever suscribed to#that spoke english cause my first language is spanish lol#His videos and overall community meant a lot to me. I dont know how could I possibly express that#Of course Im going to still watch the videos after he is gone with the new hosts but still it wont be the same#Hope this doesnt sound too like sad. I dont mean to be negative. I am legitemetly so proud and happy for him#I mean He had one of the classiest goodbyes of YouTube at least I can say my favorite youtuber was never cancelled thats a win haha#But seriously he has achieved so much and has over all been such a positive influencer how could I not be proud to call myself a Fan#so truly I am not sad He ended on the highest note you could ask for. I cannot ask for anything more from him.#I am not sad However I did cry like a Baby during the Video. Man I just. Im tearing up even thinking about it#but anyway#You bet I am going to watch every single one of his videos the second they upload until march 9.#And then I am going to dedicate the day to the celebration he supposedly plans for then#I will probably vent some more in a bigger post then too. like I did in this tags lol.#Right now... I just cant. I need to process a little more heh#MatPat#Matthew Patrick#The game Theorists#game theory#goodbye matpat

the important takeaway from honkai star rail is that hoyo was a coward for not having Alice give us dodocommunication devices (Alice event phones) for everyone we know (or just kaeya) so that they can text us all the time
can you imagine
#give me the forbidden fantasy cellphone i need to talk to my husband (kaeya) whos at war (hes just at home in mondstadt)#anonpilled#if fontaine has cameras i think they arent too far from inventing the first phones. food for thought

today a kid tried to take my food and it was very awkward
#literally lunged at it while they tried to distract me with the cartoons playing on their cellphone so bonus points for their evil scheme#but the mother just sat there watching until they physically tried to rip it off my hands and im ????#first of all miss why are you letting your kid practically sit on a stranger's lap#second of all i haven't eaten since 6 am#this chocolate pastry will not be shared
