Here’s the thing. I’ve nuked my social media countless times since I got sucked into it and I will likely continue to do so forevermore.
On it goes.
Know that I like seeing your life, even from a distance and filtered through a virtual medium. I love mountains you climb and the trees you fall out of, the waves you surf, the things you can do with your skateboard, the music that is shaking you, poetry that is moving you. I love seeing the silly things your cat, dogs and kids do.
I especially love videos of your toddlers using bad words.
And the new taqueria you just found.
But I just can’t scroll through all that shit and then see limbless children or people shot dead in the breadline.
I’m never going to ignore wars that my tax dollars fund and the juxtaposition of the scroll is just too fucking much.
I’m positive it’s incredibly damaging to scroll from wrestling kittens to starving children.
Who knows what it’s doing to our neural pathways?
I don’t like it and I can’t handle it.
