I can do all things through spite which strengthens me.

Including hydrating, taking my vitamins, and fueling my body in order to outlive my enemies.

[booknerdbetty]

[booknerdbetty]

To do:

- hydrate

- take vitamins/meds

- eat something

- connect w/ support system

- pet animals

- feel the sun/wind on my face

- soft pants

- brush teeth

- see something beautiful

- listen to bird sounds/nature

- stretch/moisturize

- shower & visualize the bs energy washing off & peace infusing me

that is some galaxy-brain advice that just short-circuited my endless rumination on the similar question, “what is my true self?”

[booknerdbetty]

What did *I* do today? Oh nothing much, just let the soft animal of my body love what it loves.

That was a long 14 hour ban. I learned how to descale my coffee pot, got a solid 8 hrs of sleep, and even cleaned my house.

I can’t access my TikTok videos that have over a million views, but sure, let me switch to IG where I get ~0-8 likes on any post on my account that I’ve had for about a decade

[booknerdbetty]

Does this mean Suckerberg and elected officials are ready to have the undistracted attention of 170 million Americans focused directly on them

There seems to be a general malaise on most of Tumblr about TikTok getting banned in the United States.

I understand the problems, "brain rot", whatever but- A government banning a social media app that opened the world for many people is legitimately scary and upsetting. Say what you want but, there are MANY global and local issues that would not have gotten the same traction, recognition, and outreach without TikTok.

And then add to this that Meta/Facebook was one the largest lobbyists working to get TikTok banned... Like- I think folks should be more concerned about the implications of what this means, especially since the ban goes into effect the day before inauguration.
