Chickpea Magazine Issue 40: Offline

Are you a doomscroller? Want to go analog in 2026? Find yourself multi-tasking all the time, pressured to instantly respond to messages, or just crave a clear mind?

The Offline issue aims to bring you back to the real world, one where your values reign, instead of feeling like you’re just chasing the next task or post. Mixing food and practical advice, this issue broke us out of the spell of social media, and our goal is to help you too.
