2. Claim they don’t work efficiently.
3. Eliminate them.

Say what you like about TikTok, but I have learned a hell of a lot over the last couple of years following creators who are not middle-class white women like myself. Curate your feed and listen to BIPOC creators and what they have to say--sometimes to you, but more often to each other.

Fellow Michiganders who are trying to avoid political conversations with family over the holidays, I've got one sentence for you to use to distract them: "How about them Lions??"

Do you think Ariel ate the scallops whose shells she wears as a bra or that they’re still in there and that’s how they’re suctioned to her boobs?
Boss: I meant any questions about the presentation.

Kinda wondering how to find my folklore peeps without the algorithm filling my feed with Taylor Swift fandom. Still feeling salty about her using the term for an album a couple of years back. No hate to Taylor or her enthusiasts, just not in my interest area.

It appears to be time to learn another social media platform. I'm an academic folklorist with too many hobbies (stitching, knitting, crochet, cooking, baking, drawing, painting, botanical illustration, reading). Michigan is my home, but I've spent 30 years in Oklahoma. Saying hello!
