I got off fb and just stayed on messenger. Fb was making me too mad! I was sharing stacks but yeah little to no engagement. And I know I was getting shadowbanned. I like the idea of spamming people in messenger. Gotta get the guts!

Here is an example of a typical fail when I try to engage in reasoned discussion of politics on FB: Everyone was ranting about the "leaked draft decisions" on RvW as if the evil "rethuglicans" would be roaming the street running over women with gasoline powered SUVs. So I posted a simple thought: Having read chief justice Roberts's statements on the document (not a draft, not something "voted in secret" ..not any of what it has been reported to be) I suggested as far as I could tell the oft repeated report (that originated with AP and was repeated verbatim by most every other outlet) might be wrong, and maybe you should read it for yourself and believe your own eyes. The angry responses included links to NYT, WaPost, CNN, etc... in other words more sources repeating the same AP story verbatim. This is why I post pictures of my shoes when traveling and my dog when home :-).

Yeah I'm my body my choice all the way and have been for decades, so it's a nice cover to stir the pot. But most people have stopped coming into my kitchen, so it didn't have much impact. Plus people seem to like getting riled up for nothing these days. Certainly don't seem to care about basic human rights eroding left and right. Weird. I wonder what makes them do that?
