I just posted this on Facebook:
Hi guys. I just now created a FACEBOOK PAGE for my blog, Diary of a Low Budget Superhero.
It would mean a lot to me if you would Follow, and even more if you would Share it.
I keep almost leaving Facebook, especially after they torpedoed my original account that I'd had since 2008, and because of the AI, bots, and algorithms ruining things. But whenever I'm off FB, like the break I took Oct - Feb, I miss you all.
Ultimately, I feel that there's a way to filter out all the junk, and keep the important thing--the connections. I have friends on Facebook that are musicians from Boston, LA and NY, high school friends all over the world, teachers I loved and mean a lot, grade school friends I've known since our single digit ages. former coworkers from throughout my entire resume dating back to the college retail job, college friends including my BFF, family including my mom, and many people I have met along the way. I've decided that leaving Facebook would mean Suckerdrag and his AI, bots, and algorithms would win. Fuck that. I'm staying with all of you.
I created a Page for my blog because I feel strongly that blogs are coming back. Because social media is blowing it. By contrast, blogs have no AI, bots, or algorithms, Just real people writing about real things. I link to a LOT of such blogs on Diary of a Low Budget Superhero. Personally, I write about Arts, Culture, Music, Film, Women's issues. Immigration. Equality. Civil rights. Race relations. LGBTQIA issues. Donald Fucking Trump. Class warfare. Nazis. Guns. God, Anxiety, Depression, Stroke Survival and a lot more.
That's really all I wanted to say. Long live the blog.
