Hi folks, if you've seen my profile you may have noted I left social media in 2018 & just returned 2 mnths ago. To be honest, I'm struggling with returning. I have this amazing family collection of photos, memorabilia, docs etc but it seems irrelevant in the current times. I'd love to hear your view - ThreadSky

I’ve learned so much about old Hollywood reading your work (and years ago, listening to your podcast!). It’s fascinating. TCM & the classic film community here are lights in the dark. Your contribution is a valuable one.

Thank you so much! 💓 I guess the relevance is that for this community it’s important material. For me it resonates bc it relates to my own family members so I couldn’t understand why anyone else cared. But what you’re saying is it’s part of the larger story and history so it matters. That’s helpful.

The whole social media enterprise feels very different from when I left. More like a series of pitched street battles and constant stream of consciousness but maybe it was always so...? Definitely feeling "what is the point of all this"...?
