Snow Day & Social Media

It is another snow day here in the Midwest and the temps are plummeting. This morning, I snuggled with my cat, Peter Parker, and enjoyed my brew. It was very relaxing. I dozed, meditated, balanced and activated my chakras, and chilled. I will say it was quite nice. My slumber was also perfect last night, which isn’t always the case. I have no agenda today. I may clean, cook a little, or maybe watch something on a streaming service. I have already been doing laundry and I’m on the last load.

I’ve been on YouTube since TikTok went down last night. I spent some time yesterday connecting with a few of the creators on TT that are also on YT. I haven’t felt the letdown others are feeling about TT. I’ve heard it will come back as soon as Monday. I’ve subjected myself to the “doom scrolling” there and doing so has gotten to me at times. I will say I am honestly tired of Facebook and Instagram. I still miss MySpace as it used to be. I still have mine. I wish there would be a revival of MySpace and also AOL I believe they could be upgraded/modernized. Why not revamp these and have some of the old and some new features? I miss AIM and the sound it made when someone messaged me…bringgggg! But god forbid if you got three messages at once! I even miss, “You’ve got mail!.” I think you could set it to say, “You’ve got hate mail!” Or did I just hear that somewhere? Oh, the woes of dial-up tho. I didn’t suffer too much with that as they did away with it soon after I got internet. Ah! Broadband, Social Media has come such a long way. I had a blog on Yahoo 360 and also used Yahoo Messenger. I lost a lot of friends when it shut down. I found a few again on Facebook when I joined in 2010. So much time has passed since then. When I found out about the TikTok ban, I went to the App Store and started downloading different apps, but I haven’t tried out any of them except for Lemon8. Now, it’s down too because it’s connected with Tik Tok. I have some time on my hands so I think I will try out a few and see how I like them. There are so many choices now, apps for every little thing. What is the future of all this?

Do you make Open Diary entries by typing on your phone or do you use a desktop or laptop? I use my desktop. It’s the only way to post here.
