Wherever you find yourself today, whatever your circumstances, I wish you the peace, joy, and hope that is the promise of this season. I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas 🎄. Stay safe and be well one and all.
Last night I gave myself an early Christmas present, I finally deleted my twitter account. This morning I wake up to a new dilemma, I hear that substack has decided that it’s ok to platform far right writers. This is awful. Now I have to decide whether or not to continue supporting writers there!
Well I have to say that the past few days have been pretty good. One highlight from my days off was watching the Toronto Argos win against the Ottawa Red Blacks 44 - 31. The game was exciting, the atmosphere at BMO Field was great, and I ran into a few old friends!
Well my work day is complete, and I must say that as far as work days go this one was about as good as it gets. Additionally my Friday is the same as everyone else’s Friday this week. Which means that now it’s time for some beverages and sociability!
It seems like now is the time for me to start using Micro.blog more frequently, more intentionally, and more seriously. Twitter just feels awful now, and out of the alternatives that I’ve found Micro.blog is still the best one. I miss social media. It’s time for me to make a new home.
Happy International Women’s Day everyone. Thank you to all my sisters for your hard work, leadership, and struggle for a better world. I stand in solidarity with you today.
Happy Valentine’s day to everyone. No matter where we find ourselves in life today, genuine love of all types is still worth affirming. So in the spirit of love, I wish a happy Valentine’s day to you.
Today on the bird site I unfollowed a bunch of accounts. The second step I took was to remove the app ( yet again ) from my phone. Now if I can only figure out how to use the wolly-mammoth site….
Good morning ☕. Today is my first day going bag to work after my vacation. So far it’s not going as planned. I’m just hoping that I don’t start off 2023 by being late!
Today was a travel day for me. I’m now back home in Toronto preparing for the coming week. In many ways the new year really starts for me tomorrow. I’m apprehensive and excited. We’ll see how it goes.
Another thing that I should mention is that I’ve started using @gluon for most of my micro.blog activity. The app is fantastic and the more that I use it, the more that I like it.
After taking a break over Christmas, I’ve decided to give the bird site another chance. But honestly, I’m leaning towards making micro.blog my primary social media space.
One of the good things about microblogging is that it’s concise, making the posts hopefully clear. So keeping this in mind, and with a new year beginning, maybe it’s time to revisit my account’s bio?
