It is deeply toxic, I closed my account weeks ago, but it is still live and active, I just can’t access it….. Facebook is quite evil.

I did it. I quit it completely. It was like quitting smoking many years ago. I didn’t want to have to leave FB. And, everything within me knew I must. There are other businesses I need to back away from. It’s hard. It is harder to think I am supporting the ‘empire’ though …

As to complicity with empire and abusive systems ... do we pay taxes to Caesar? Do we have a net positive carbon footprint? So much of living and serving in this place & time involves complicity. But bend the arc.
Also: A FB memory today included a comment from Jane. I treasure this sort of thing.

It's not on my phone's homepage or my browser's favorites any more. The more clicks, the more intentional I need to be about going there. But I still go there.
