I'm starting to believe the same is true for twitter. And I'm active-ish (/addicted to being) there.

I take at least one day a week away from twitter. And it's mostly people I know or authors I like. But every now and then I fall into an "everything's falling apart, if you're not storming the barricades you're a capitalist lackey" thread, and that's just exhausting.

I can't keep up with Twitter at all. Every time I follow something interesting back to it I immediately get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tweets. So many!

I have a few FB friends who def do the curated-online-image thing and it gets old real fast. Most of my friends are just kind of random and weird, though, which has legs.

I look at a little bit of twitter at certain times, but I definitely don't try to keep up, and I mostly follow famous/media/internet people. So I like it fine!

I was going to try to wait until 4:30 before leaving, but I'm definitely not doing any more work today and I bet I'm not getting any more emails!

I try to contribute to that as much as possible. (Or, I should say, my kitty tries to contribute to that.)

I can't get into twitter (or tumblr). I still miss livejournal, although I mostly read. I like Facebook quite a bit, and I like my random and weird friends and groups, and I like how I cannot connect with high school and college people- interestingly some of my best Facebook friends I did not know at all well in high school but they are wonderful people- very Buffista like.

And I have several facebook only friends I met in a Facebook Myers-Briggs group, when we left (quietly) when it became clear that the man running the group was a narcissist who seemed to be using the group to meet young acolytes and we as 40 somethings were not really welcome. And he thought INFPs could never be funny, which is a weird thing to fight about, but he was so adamant! And dismissive of our personal experiences as older INFPs. It was a weird hill to die on. It was not Gus level weird internet stuff, but it was weird- I think he didn't like not being the professorial authority figure and didn't like that we started giving advice to the younger members.

Msbelle- I haven't emailed you back, but that background is not a template in PowerPoint 2016. I bet they had a graphic designer build them a specialized template.

I need to create a Facebook filter so I only read the people who make me happy (mostly buffistas). I usually don't get as aggravated on Twitter because my more conservative relatives aren't there, and strangers can only annoy me so much.

We're at Mom's for the weekend. We have theatre tickets for Sunday, and we're going to try to see Parasite tomorrow. I also wanted to try and see Birds of Prey or Little Women, but I don't think I'll have time.

Awwww YISS.

My Twitter is hyperlocal, political and activist. I got on there because Freddie Gray. It's journalists & activists & artists& local ppl I've found who share interests or have perspectives that intrigue me & a few pols I like. It is very much not populated with 40something white lady. Very few ppl I've met, though it has lead to some in person interactions and sharing of things. It has opened me up to how much really works here, even if I'm a hermit.

Plus, I think I like yelling into the void sometimes & Twitter fulfills that for me.

Insta is cats, mostly.

Facebook, I'm just finding so cluttered. Mostly friends & fam, but between the random ordering & not seeing things (even with latest option) I just barely try anymore.
