Blogging because I turned off my phone
May. 1st, 2022 10:59 pmI turned off my phone to keep me from distractions. I am feeling very needy and I am processing some emotional turmoil so phone is off. But now I'm on dreamwidth because hey remember when I thought that livejournal would last? Oh joy, what a time. I wonder if livejournal is cracking down on "political posts" still.
Of course, they aren't cracking down on political posts by English speakers. Fuck Putin. I wonder if he's behind all those Russian oil executives "committing suicide". It would be hilarious if it was someone else.
But here I am blogging. Because I don't want to go on Facebook.
I argued that Facebook removed all the riff raff from livejournal - the unhinged rants, the memes, the twitter feed rejects, the quiz results - leaving livejournal to be what it was always meant to be which was something more open and free and whatever. And then everyone just went to Facebook and you could really go on for a long time on Facebook. With a liberal usage of blocks and hides, I found that my Facebook is about as fun now as Livejournal was back when it was hopping. And my livejournal friends are all on Facebook.
But i have an alternate facebook account where I friended everyone because I wanted money so I just kept sending out friend requests. And it's so fucking stupid. Like my regular Facebook account is mostly friends and professional contacts. I have managed to get to know legends and writers that I have liked for years (although on Livejournal I managed to find writers when they were starting out).
My alternate Facebook account is just full of shitty poems and dumb memes. Like these assholes actually think a cut and paste story about meeting a junkie outside of Rite Aid is going to make a fucking difference. States like Tennessee are making sleeping on benches illegal while other places are engaged in hostile architecture. But go ahead and post your stupid story. You're TOTALLY helping the homeless.
Ok. Back to the paper that I turned off my phone to finish. I'm sure the client is blowing up whatever messenger app I'm using to talk to them.
