Your portal to the world is by NO MEANS closed. Books are AMAZING. Reading sounds boring but once you do it properly it will be so FUN. my mother started me off with real books, not kids books. I’ve read about so many historical figures. It gave me a thirst for knowledge that overrides my desire to be on my phone. History is so interesting. The best part about it is that it’s about the world. My first biography was about Amelia Earhart. I don’t need a book to tell you about her but she’s so interesting that i reread anyway. So pick a topic pick a book with pictures too. Google has millions of photo. rare ones too. Go to a local library(lots are closing down). You can learn a lot of things if you give a new experience a try.

This is how I felt when I left Twitter years ago. You mourn and move on, filling the void with something else

Hello void.
I decided to get this app since the death of tiktok seems inevitable. Funny enough I found out about this app through tiktok. I don’t know why I feel so emotional about this app going away. I saw the end of vine, musical.ly, dubsmash, and other things but this one stings.

Not caring about tik tok ending
I'm often accused of being an "old soul", a categorization I vehemently dislike because it pretends as if my taste is because of nostalgia, as opposed to what is actually cool and compelling. (If something cool comes out now, I enjoy it, but we're in a down period when it comes to culture). But, something old about me, is that I do not care at all about TikTok ending, if does happen. If Elon takes it over from the Chinese, you might as well leave anyway, but I'm just worried at why this is a huge deal for people. It's just an app. Another one will be made. TikTok is not culture, it directly flattens culture into these ten second clips that take music, movies --- things that you need to process --- into something that is now consumed by everyone at a rapid pace, not allowing for the nuances, the style, the aesthetics to sit with us. I have never watched something on TikTok and thought that this is something in that pushing American culture to deeper heights. I am sorry. Now I am sure they're good stuff on the app, but it's not really a necessity. Whenever I hear the words "it's blowing up on TikTok", my mind immediately growls. I understood why X becoming overrun with Elon bots and right wingers is a big deal; X actually created things, made careers, made American life, and American events available to be seen by everyone. However, TikTok is a corrupt fantasy, chopping at the wires that make physical connection important. Read a book! Go to the movies! Go to the restaurant of a cuisine that is unheralded, go to a baseball game. Who cares about TikTok?

Should i add this photo to my tinder?
I think everyone should add a couple of silly photos or memes to their tinder. I know I should be using hinge but I feel like tinder is having a renaissance in that its just old enough to be a vintage app. Regardless, how we feelin about this one team?
