Are we more informed than ever or more overwhelmed? Or both?
I think it is possible to walk a fine line between more informed and more overwhelmed, and find that happy medium.
I try to do this. I don’t watch the news faithfully like I used to. To be honest, I rarely watch the news on tv.
I quit Twitter when it became X.
I try to keep my time on FB and IG to a minimum although Instagram does suck me in. Facebook, to me, is crap. It’s all crap.
The only reason I keep FB is because of my non-profit, The Sidney Project. I never actually had a website built for it, just a FB page and honestly, because of where I live and how much people seem to use FB, it works. It’s where I post about the fundraisers, and really, it’s free advertising.
Also, if I quit FB I would miss most of the coming events for our community. It’s how I found out about swimming lessons for Sid. It’s where info is posted about soccer, when it’s cancelled or which field it’s on, etc.
Our community is small enough that people will post gossip on FB, and expect it will be read.
Whoever’s partner drives a black Ford F-150, it’s been parking next door for hours at a time, you’re definitely getting cheated on.
To the white Hyundai SUV who was cutting off traffic and obviously not following school zone speed limits, you’re going to kill someone.
Missing: black kitty with three white paws, no collar, slipped out the door as I was taking the garbage out, very friendly, in Burntwood area.
Does anyone in town do body piercings?
And my all-time fave: anyone else hear gunshots?
It just never ends…
