Social Media Free Zone

You won't find much of me promoting this site on social media. We could all do with a little less overall screen time and a lot less social media time. This means I take a significant hit with potential sources of traffic. You're of course welcome to share something you like on your own profiles, or better yet, email to a friend.

Mental health professionals are only recently beginning to understand the long term negative effects of social media use. It's making us sick. It's offering sedentary doomsday scrolling in lieu of, well, anything else we could be doing. Consider asking yourself: Is the ability to stalk that one person you knew a long time ago really worth it? Social media companies are open about this: they intentionally design themselves to be addictive, especially to young people.

There are also concerns around privacy. I am your biggest threat. I am an avid internet creep and I will find out what I can about any target of my choosing. I will hunt down anything I can about people I'm considering for employment. Even if you think you're safe with a private profile, don't assume so. If we have a mutual friend, I'm one text away from finding out whatever I want that you've posted that you thought was safe.
