I've been frustrated by how much time I burn away fidgeting with social media. Lately, it's been essentially a form of self-regulation or soothing as it feels like civilization is melting down. Trump stumbles to pronounce a 5-letter acronym fed to him on a teleprompter? Ugh. To Twitter! etc.
The world isn't melting down. I need to snap out of the pattern of just pissing away time on social media. So, I've deleted the Twitter and Facebook apps from my phone and iPad. And I've added a handy /etc/hosts file to my Mac that will block everything (even MySpace and Orkut! Thank Jebus!)
Anyway. I'm not deleting any accounts. I'm not disappearing. I'm (hopefully) just snapping out of this pattern of fidgetting with social media rather than doing literally anything else that is more interesting and productive and relevant to anything - even nothing. Life is too short for that kind of bullshit.
