Losing patience here....
Well, between the idiocy at Facebook--both their aggressive pursuit of clicks and their changing the frames per second of the latest upgrade, thus triggering migraines in many of us--I have been contemplating social media, and where to take a stand.
Also, I am still healing, but the pandemic and shipping problems have complicated my life in too many ways. I have been waiting almost a month for a shipment from New Zealand. It's something that may allow me to level up to the next health plateau. But who knows how fast it will get here. I would have guessed two weeks at the fastest before shipping backlog and USPS re-org.
Right now I am thinking about moving my longer posts over here (probably buying in, as I once did with Live Journal) and just posting links at FB and Twitter. Cat memes and such will remain over there, but writing, politics, and all-over-the-map stuff may move here. Stuff that was Friend post or special post at FB will be Frie4nd post here, too, so you can join--it's free for a basic journal. It's easier right now than creating a new web site, frankly. Too many balls are in play. I don't want to drop any of them.
I have the uncomfortable feeling I will need to leave here. Between the AQ and the ancient sea bed we float upon, plus vortex weather upping its game (used to be 3 years out of 10. It's been the last three years....)it is not looking like a good place for me to contemplate early retirement. The question is, where is my Venn diagram so I can spend the most time in good air/humidity, and go out to visit folks? I don't know. And the way things are in Texas right now, I don't know that returning to Austin is an option.
But--good news! My 7500+ word ghost story is now out from Book View Cafe. Murmurs in the Dark. Both ebook and print. I'll post some info on it in a bit here.
May you all be doing well. Remember--just functioning right now is a triumph!

Also the longer form suits you; and there is no way I'm getting an FB account at this point, having not done so much earlier and therefore not gotten entangled. Just luck, really, not even good sense.
I'll be ordering the anthology later today! Whee!

Definitely don't recommend Facebook at this point. I help with BVC's group page, and FB has majorly changed how to load and work with the page twice in the last year. Kit Kerr is tearing her hair out, as is Pat Rice.
I have learned too many forms of software. New forms just for the sake of selling us a new product? I am SO over that.
Hope you enjoy the ghost stories. :)
