I include a detox from social media as a part of my Sabbath because social media is labor and, as an extension of capitalism, it wants to keep you always drooling for more. We are never full as we scroll for hours, get into debates about things we know to be true, fight off internet trolls and those stealing our intellectual scholarship. The entitlement we feel to the inner workings of people’s lives is satisfied by our repetitive interactions online.
