You guys, I found the prettiest desk chair on Facebook Marketplace. It was a 3-minute Uber ride away. We picked it up last night. It's perfect, I love it so much.🥰 The only problem with having been hunting for a new chair online is the dreaded avalanche of ads for chairs I'm getting and will get until the end of time. I'm telling you, retargeting has to be the dumbest martech (marketing technology) they ever came up with, and I am ov…
Good
morning. I found this “going out top” on Facebook Marketplace. Can I just say?
At no point in my adult life would this thing ever have fit me. God
bless the woman who could “go out” in this top. Where you going in this,
girlfriend?🤣
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 …
I just Unfriended my mother-in-law. I have mostly been off Facebook since October, only popping back in now and then because I miss seeing what my friends have been up to, and photos of the kids and pets and culinary creations. But. As we are all shaken, horrified, devastated by the murder of another good citizen. I checked her Facebook. Maybe there'd be pictures of the pups, I don't know. And. There was an image. It showed an array of whi…
Not that I've been on it much lately, so me deleting my account won't mean anything to Pinterest. I created my Pinterest account when we first moved from Comm Ave to Lower Allston, as a kind of Look Book for home decor ideas.I also had some pins of 19th Century dinner rings--I had one once and thought I'd get another some day. But now it seems Pinterest is already chock-a-block with AI slop. Why? What are they thinking? That was a pu…
I got a bunch of books for holing up and reading this
winter, and the first one I picked from the TBR pile was The Night
Circus. Ninety pages in, I put it down, thought a minute, then Googled “I
hated the Night Circus.” Found a Reddit thread. And a Goodreads thread. And a Facebook thread . All asking basically the same question: WTF?
Well. I’m glad it’s not just me. I had a stroke two years ago and
some of my, I guess you could say, taste…
I'm off Facebook for awhile, but the last thing I did was look up some of the old posts from August 2023. That's when I had my stroke, and Joe had a heart transplant. This post from August 6th 2023 posted by my brother-in-law is quite chilling. "This
situation just became much more complex. As some of you know, our
sister-in-law Michelle suffered a stroke last week. She is currently in
the ICU and working on the long road to recov…
MIL: Says a Democrat Me: What do you mean? Me: Nothing? Nothing to add? “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” —Mark Twain Me: Every day it’s more dangerous. You have to stop watching Fox News and get on the right side of history. MIL: maybe CNN, MSNBC, etc are the ones spreading false news. They never show both sides, only theirs. Me: Well, what’s the “other side”? Me: For
the record, we haven't watc…
This
double-chonk cat post has been coming around on Facebook for a few years now. And
it was from before I lost my original Facebook account so it must have been a
long time. But I laugh every time I see it! I can’t believe that there
are two identical, equally plump, yet very uniquely marked, cats. In the
same neighborhood?! Come on, can it be real?
Just before I stopped leaving the house altogether, I went for a walk and ran into an older neighbor who told me he is "not buying into all the bullshit." He stood too close and he exhaled his cigarette smoke and he sneered and told me he's just coming home from giving his friend a ride somewhere, that he's not changing anything just because of some virus. He's not the only person that I know who is angrily objecting to the…
Yes, most if not all of us have been in contact with it already! Yet we are all putting up with this bullshit! WTF people wake the fuck up, we locked down stopped it's spread built our immunity so now it's time to get back at it! We have something called an immune system remember, if we didn't the human race wouldn't have survived for thousands and thousands and thousands of years! Notice, I didn't say, get the economy moving…
First there's the round-up of "Shittiest Twitter Takes," where I post tweets displaying the dumbest shit I have ever heard in my life. Like when Donald Trump Jr. threw himself into the Pocahontas attack on Elizabeth Warren by feigning wonder (unconvincingly) as to why people aren't protesting Disney, too. He was trying to push the idea that Disney is just as offensive as president Trump because Disney made an animated story of …
It is November 27th 2019, and I've re-activated Facebook after one full calendar year. To the day. Know what I've noticed? It's still a mess. Having said that, I've missed almost everyone. I wish the platform hadn't gotten so revolting. It seems there could have been a sustainable business model that didn't require vanquishing the very soul of the nation, but Zuckerberg gonna Suckerdrag. Truth is I'm better without th…
RIP Michelle's Facebook Account (2008 - 2018)
Facebook self-disrupted in three ways in my opinion. So I'm out, at least for having a personal profile on the platform. At some point I'll likely create a #GenXReport Group or Page or whatever the new thing will be, by then. Because they keep changing the platform for no reason. But for a personal Facebook account, since December 1st, I am Deactivated. #DeactivateFacebook
I went with Deac…
Here is one of my "Blogcast" posts from earlier in the year. Regular followers will know that I made an attempt to convert my blog to an audio-only format...no edits! But it didn't work. Because that was a truly terrible awful idea. And I am sure I'll try it again anyway, because I never learn, do I? This Blogcast, titled "We Got The President We Deserve," is about how digital marketers have been utilizing the data we…
But When I Do, There Is No Line At The Ladies' Room. All men, and me. Every time.
thought I made it clear about the cake balls.
