i used to be on pinterest heavy for decor, costumes and art references but the sheer amount of ads and genAi is frustrating. had to screenshot from my ipad bc i don’t even have it on my phone anymore. i tried scrolling to a page without ads and Yet. …i am very loudly mostly using tumblr for aesthetic purposes instead.

I feel like it’s crowded with pictures. When i try to scroll there for a few minutes i feel like my head is about to burst from all the meaningless photos. I honestly feel overwhelmed 💔

alright, tik tok is officially down. whether it comes back or not doesn't matter, due to it likely being purchased by meta and becoming a propaganda machine.
so what do we do now? what do i do with all these feelings?
firstly, delete instagram, facebook, and any other meta/amazon apps. leave your account up, just delete the app. leaving dead accounts open costs more on their end.
second, put your money where your mouth is! no amazon purchases, only buy necessities, and shop small whenever possible. money is power, and we need to prove that THEY are meant to serve US, not the other way around.
third, physically document everything you can. every piece of news, every update that feels relevant, jot it down. doesn't have to be neat, doesn't have to be very descriptive, just take notes! create and keep a timeline!
fourth, participate in your community. talk to strangers, start conversations with anyone and everyone about anything! join a library, educate your friends, volunteer. shelters, food pantries, local politics, etc.
fifth, MAKE ART. create create create. any form any medium it doesn't matter! art is what connects us through time, what marks human struggle and human resilience.
finally, make yourself known. join local protests, sign petitions, go to city council meetings, participate in local law if it's possible in your area. be outspoken on whatever social media takes over, and in real life.
we will get through this, nothing is going to explode overnight, take it day by day, and take care of yourself too. stay educated, stay vigilant, and be brave. do it scared. you are not alone, we must be united in this effort.
