| I killed my first
Facebook account years ago, then for some obscure
reason I re-upped and started over from scratch. I regret the time I spent fretting over it, months' worth of hours I could have applied elsewhere, even here. |

This is the first time I'm embedding
a Facebook post here, and it will probably be the
last. I remind myself that Facebook is a business; it's axiomatic they strive to get more than they give. I was lured by the promise of gaining exposure for my work, but for that to be at all effective you must pay. |
| And of course there's the data
collection, profiling, and non-consentual behavioral studies. Social media is a euphemism for social engineering. I'm not saying it's conscious cause and effect, but they are rewiring the way we think and interact. So I think it's time to say bye-bye and reconnect in more tangible ways. |
