It looks like Howie the Crab is not long for the world. She lived 9 1/2 years, which is amazing for her species. Lots of love to Laura, and thank you for sharing Howie with us. (Screenshot from Howie's TikTok.)

My Facebook - which I glance at to keep up with extended family - is now showing me immigration ads for Canada.

My dreams are being permeated by the news. I dreamt that the medical clinic I work in was bought by Elon Musk. He fired all the doctors and replaced them with himself as "head M.D." OK, it was more of a nightmare.

TikTok is back in the app stores. Trump must have saw the nosedive his Gen Z ratings took. "Apple and Google received a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi informing the companies that the Trump administration will not prosecute them for supporting TikTok..." www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

The VP of the United States characterizes "normalize Indian hate" as "stupid social media activity." Marko Elez, an agent of DOGE, is talking about his wife and children. There is nothing harmless about this rhetoric. JD Vance is a spineless coward. www.forbes.com/sites/mollyb...

So, how does an average citizen deal with living under an administration like this? The absolute worst of people have been given unchecked and unlimited power. Honestly, I just feel hopeless.

There's only so much news an individual can take. I tend to agree with the "shock and awe" theory - all of this madness from the Trump Administration being deliberate to make us give up out of confusion and exhaustion.

I get why people are ditching Meta, X, and TikTok. The social media apps have been compromised and are being used as propaganda tools for Trump. I feel like deserting these platforms is a form of giving up. We need to contribute! We can't let these goons control information.

It's 2 AM, and everybody in my house is still awake. We're a weird family. Granted, we're all shut in because of the below freezing temperatures.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today: "The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars." We must find & feed the points of light.

TikTok may be "back" in the US, but you won't be able to download the app on Google Play Store. Until TikTok becomes TrumpTok, that is. 😒

X is chaotic. Bluesky is relaxing. Here, I feel more free to be myself. I felt defensive on the other app. It made me unnecessarily angry.

Anybody acting like TikTok going offline isn’t a disaster for Democrats is deeply unserious. Most political issues never touch people’s daily lives—but 170 million Americans just had their favorite social media platform taken away from them. And Trump will position himself as the savior. JFC.

Heartbreaking to see TikTok creators I’ve followed for years post tearful goodbyes while explaining how the app changed their lives and became their full-time jobs. This is so fucked up. 💔

I'm eating a late lunch in my car after picking up some groceries. "Good Night" by The Beatles is on the radio and then a freakin hearse just drives by. Maybe I should just go home. I can't handle this level of symbolism today.

I went ahead and deleted TikTok off my phone. Watching all the goodbye videos is just too much for me. I'm just numb right now.

Not surprised, yet still disappointed. A bad decision that is going to upset a lot of people and rob many of their livelihoods and only social outlet.

I'm doing it again. Pulling out my hair. When my Dad was hospitalized a few months ago, even he noticed I was doing it as I sat with him. It's the only way I can deal with my nervousness. And what I'm doing has a clinical name - trichotillomania. I should probably find a good psychiatrist.

Trump is transforming tech billionaires into court jesters that he can summon for companionship and mock for amusement.

I spent the first hour at my work desk crying. Seasonal depression hits hard. And with the upcoming TikTok ban (I have no faith in the Supreme Court) and the Trump Presidency, I have no reason to see it abating.

When TikTok gets banned, I will not be using Meta and I have abandoned my X account. It's really lousy. But, I still have this space.

It's been a really hard year for me. I lost my dog to cancer last December which broke my heart and I have been stuck in a dire financial situation that stressed me out to a point where I was literally pulling my hair out. But, the financial burden has been lifted and I'm starting 2025 debt free.
