defo got a bunch of tension w my phone sometimes, i recently moved to a 2-room apartment and have embargoed it from my bedroom for the time being...

BUT at the same time, i've had this phone (galaxy s7, for context) for 8 years now, and have changed its battery twice diy-style, definitely more intimate relationship with it-as-object than most others do. if it-as-object could talk then it would probably drop hella lore, it's been to most* of my within-europe trips for catching music events. looks worn physically but still functional, and has only one barely noticeable crack. i also have a very fun little collage stacked into its transparent case.

the occasional person might go like pls replace ur phone the os isnt even actively supported anymore whatever blabla, but really i guess i continue to use it cos of it-as-object... committed to squeezing a decade out of it at Least.

*in summer 2023 i got a newer refurbished phone as spare cos i wanted something newer - that one's been my main one for the uk trips since because of the dual sim. cos of it being refurb i do wonder about the lore of this phone-as-object too...
