I’m free. I competed the steps and Bluesky is now my only social medial account.

Seems a good day to actually click the “delete” button on Facebook and Instagram today.

Woof the smog in Seoul today is no joke.

It’s a hard habit to keep, especially when Bluesky is fun. But during the pandemic I had a “in-print only”‘policy for news. Only reading articles that had to be researched, edited, and could be corrected before the edition went to print was excellent for my mental health.
I speak to you as someone who's literally part of a daily call-to-action newsletter: it is worth remembering there will be almost nothing Trump does that you need to know about immediately, and limiting your news consumption to once a day will cost you nada.
the only way to push back is to spend deliberate time determining what capacities you have that can be useful in this moment and how you are willing to use them, and then do whatever is necessary to preserve your capacity and stick to your action plan.

Starter packs are great but remember they are curated by a human being. While they got me a lot of people to start following, it took a lot of UNfollowing to get my timeline to be based on some semblance of reality.

One of the unexpected delights of quitting Meta has been the old friends reconnecting. As I’m preparing to excise myself from Facebook and Instagram, I’ve been posting asking folks to get in touch if we’re not in contact outside of Facebook/IG.

We are here for Lizzo’s guru era.
And we have to point the finger at ourselves:

Are we moving from a place of love?

Are we as educated as we can be about what is happening?

Why are we angry? And who are we angry with?

Is this the best way to use my time & energy?

Have I helped myself today?

Have I helped someone else today?

Daddy Pig really needs to make some changes in his life if he’s going to be there for Peppa and George.

Please help. Is there a Meta and TikTok free world where I can watch my dumb silly videos?

Wasn’t Zuckerberg supposed to kick the shit out of Elon Musk? I was promised a cage fight! No one keeps their word these days.

I first thought he meant he was going to shoot a pilot (as in a person) to become famous on YouTube.

Like I assumed it was meant as some sort of commentary, but what a world we live in that that’s where my mind went.

Excitedly preparing for my daughter’s first birthday party! Must resist the urge to spontaneously double the amount of food I meticulously planned because WHAT IF IT’S NOT ENOUGH

The starter packs are great but you really have to resist the “follow all” button. So many of the “journalists” I ended up following are just no-name opinion bloggers at best, and it’s taken a lot to make my feed useable after realizing I followed too many of the wrong people.

Is there a way to just mute one image that is constantly reposted here?

We all know people who have an entire conversation on speaker phone in public at annoying. But people who FaceTime in public and don’t even look at the video because they have to hold the phone to their ear to hear are much worse.

Please enlighten me. How is this going to go differently than Threads?
