Mooning

The iPhone’s Do Not Disturb mode silences everyone, temporarily turning off all of your notifications. But you can also mute people in group texts, as well as individual people if you want them to shut up for the time being

Is mooning the new ghosting? Great article on GQ.

    I moon often, and unapologetically! But I don’t see it as the equivalent of saying “eff off,” as the article suggests. For me it’s more about putting nonessential conversations on hold temporarily so I can be fully present with the people I’m with at that moment, or so I can concentrate on my work. It’s a pity the article characterized mooning as a “digital impoliteness,” because it can actually be a tool for living more mindfully and purposefully. Perhaps I’ll write a counterpoint piece. 🙂
