Social Media Travels

Snowy April Day in Vermont

My travels on social media overall, have been interesting in many ways. 

There appears to be pockets, like when the wind blows a bunch of leaves into a corner, of folks who have a passion of some sort, positive and negative. Finding a regular person with no particular agenda or self image issues, is not easy. I found, I think (so far) two or three folks that are interesting to read. 

The websites seem to have a problem with figuring out how to group members. X aka Twitter has a good spread of different folks. Instagram, on a rarely used account, must think my ID means I'm a dude so that on Explore, shows way too many photos of young women in bikinis. (I deleted that account.) YouTube and Facebook also lump folks into categories that may not reflect who the person is.

I have found more older folks postings. That is a nice change. 

For humor, Tops are the Deer Blind Dad Jokes, (USA) and Mike and Joelle (New Zealand).

Do you have a favorite humor channel?

The U.S. Constitution vs Social Media

Think about it...

The Founding Fathers had no Internet or no social media.

The 1st Amendment weeps when people use it to stir up violence and hatred. 

If there are people that don't see what a danger it is to society that there are no laws in place to stop a person or persons from using the Internet to rally others to engage in violence, then it is crucial that the CDC begins a serious investigation as to how the STUPID virus infected so many Americans. 

Does it spread so rapidly through telepathy? 

By using the Internet? 

Cell phones?

Air frequencies?

The media?

Bluejay, Blogging, Social Media & Observations

Bluejay Observatory

 A bluejay will perch atop the unused clothesline pole, check out the bird seed area, then fly down to snack.  The bluejay, seen through the patio window, is a sight that makes me smile. Thus far, it is the only bird I've seen perch there. 

Blogging.

Searching for an easy to use blog template is on going. The search can be so frustrating, limiting the amount of time for me is a must. 

A few I have previewed appear to require posting on an HTML type coded page. The set ups are nothing like the Blogger Compose view page. I think I would have decided on a template by now if they were as easy to use as Blogger. 

As a result, I am looking into online website design courses. If you have recommendations, then please share.

Social media.

The way we keep in touch, methinks social media works for people numbers, big families, groups, but for individuals friends and family, personal contact through email and texts are better. Having the time set aside, I feel, is important. 

Facebook doesn't have a fan here. There is no delete option in Edit photo, and none that I've found to stop Facebook's photo synch feature. The solution is to leave Facebook.

Observations.

~ Almost every idea I have sends me to an Internet search. I miss the library research section. No screen can replace the feel of a real book.

~ I haven't been to Central Park in New York City since the summer of 1968.

~ Week-end lists that I post, I might attempt 1 to 3 items. I have yet to sing to anything other than food I'm preparing and TV commercials.

~ Breaking ideas down to the simplest point can open them to even better ideas. 

~ Wanting to learn something is a losing lottery ticket, if no action is taken to learn.
