Getting Together in Person: The Future of Social Media
Can the negatives of social media turn into positives?
I’m even more active and social now than I remember being in high school and college. I have a lot of new friends and we do a lot of fun things together. All of this has happened in the past few months thanks to a fast-growing women’s social group that I’ve already written a little bit about.
Last night I was watching the sun set and reflecting on my writing and work. My discomfort with empty political correctness that merely hardens social disconnection and fuels abuse. My discomfort with helping businesses raise money to fuel their exploitive attitudes or lack of regard for employees.
My frustration with and growing acceptance of my long COVID brain fog. I’m taking a supplement now that has some scathing (and false) online reviews written by people who’ve never used the product, offering false information about what it contains. Maybe this supplement will help, and maybe it won’t. If it does, I’ll write up my experiences with it. It’s interesting that, while the business that sells the supplement is certainly “suspicious” as in being an MLM company, so was/is Herbalife — and some people have always gotten benefits from Herbalife products.
