It was requested by a family member that I write about the new paid Meta Verified service since people seem to be confused about what it means. Does this mean I will have to pay for Facebook? No. As of now, Facebook is still free to use. Same as Twitter is still free to use … More Paying for Social Media?
I went to the library yesterday morning to return some books. I went back to the one where I worked for the first time in months. Monday mornings are safe because I know I can avoid seeing the toxic person who somehow still has a leadership position. I was there for more than an hour … More Life Without Facebook
I recently had no idea what to wrote so I asked readers to give me ideas. I got a few responses, but the majority of them were people saying what they like about what I’ve already written. So, most of y’all failed the assignment. Do better. I did get a suggestion from LA to write … More Change Happens
I spend a lot of time on social media. Part of it is an effort to get people to read my blog or listen to the Anchor stuff I’ve recorded. Part of is is checking certain Twitter feeds for specific news. A lot of it is habit and possibly addiction. I’ve always spent a lot … More I Need a Social Media Break
About a month ago, a friend on Facebook posted that she was going to unfriend people she considered hypocrites for speaking out against the Capitol riots and not on the Black Lives Matters protests.

I know that being on Facebook isn’t cool anymore, but I’m still there(because I’m not cool) and get more interaction there than any other social media site. I share my blog posts on Facebook and routinely share articles and news I think my friends will enjoy. This week, I seem to have been caught up … More Facebook: Keeping You Safe From Tater Since 2018
There seems to be a trend on Twitter of people digging up old tweets to discredit or embarrass people. In many of these cases they are taking things out of context or finding jokes that they take to be serious statements. I look at Timehop every day. It’s fun to go back and see what … More Digging Up Old Posts
I decided that I needed to write something this morning. I had a thought about what I wanted to write. I sat down with coffee and the laptop and got started. I typed a sentence. I deleted the sentence and typed another. I deleted that one and typed two this time. I've now deleted those … More Tater’s Writer’s Block Tuesday
I generally keep most of my Facebook statuses public. Periodically, something happens that makes me consider changing that. Usually, it’s when some random person I don’t know decides to take offense at something I shared without actually reading the article or knowing why I shared it. I always make the decision to stay public. Here … More Why I Keep My Facebook Public
I have recently been contemplating seriously reducing the number of “friends” I have on Facebook and setting my updates as friends only. This seemed like a good way not to worry about people being upset about what I post. Then I think “It’s my Facebook. I can post whatever I want and if they don’t … More Facebook…..Again
