We're trying to participate in life in ways that won't assist hoarders.
Amazon is dead to us. I try to use brick and mortar, authors websites, and other outlets to get around Amazon.
I have gone dark on Meta. I used the Messenger app this morning to pass the word on Bruce but that was my first use in a while. We have to sort out our internet again hopefully without President Musk. Now that we're officially an oligarchy, how else do we reduce exposure?

A nauseating FB post I got on Monday sums it up the astonishing feelings of half of Americans: Below a shining visage of DT was the caption: "Daddy's home."
