Peeks in...

 Nope, no one followed me here from BlueSky. *sigh*

As for anything Zuck...yeah, no.

I miss writing and almost started a Substack today, but stopped myself. I still have my Wordpress site (private now and not updated since '23 when I faced that fact that I would never make my living as an energy worker) and a Tumblr that has zero entries...why add something more when slowing down is the mood I'm in?

Question, too, is: have our attention spans become such that long reads are a thing of the past? I know people who never, ever read books, and basically live on TikTok and Instagram now. It is what it is, but it makes me very, very sad. 

Leaving this one public just in case...

I don't know anyone much younger than me who reads novels, not that my social circle is wide.

Heartbreaking.

There's definitely something going on with concentration levels and social media. I know a few people who keep their Dreamwidth/Livejournal for themselves and interact more publicly on forums like FB etc, but generally it seems that interaction beyond an emoji drains people.

Everyone seems incredibly tired.

That last sentence says everything.
