I read this Verge article requesting a return to personal blogging and liked it even as I feel it's unlikely to happen. It goes along with Austin Kleon's exhortation to own your domain and control your content. Good ideas. I like owning things I create even if they're silly little blog posts

Then I thought about how I finally quit (anti)social media. The last one to go was Twitter. Elon's descent into madness scared me straight. It took longer than it should have, addictions and withdrawal are powerful things, but I realized that (anti)social media made my life worse, not better.

I now have more time each day to write, read, and do good things. I lost several hours a day to (anti)social media and my phone. How sad and pathetic that is.

Status Update: feeling more free and engaged, less owned by the corporations.

How you doing?
