i'm taking a break from social media, except

[rone]

My consumption of social media was heading to a bad place and taking my attention span with it, so i've logged out of Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ in my browsers and devices.  Instead, i'll use LiveJournal to crosspost stuff to FB/Tw for when i actually have something useful to share, and people can comment on LJ with either account if they want me to see it right away, or on FB/Tw and i'll maybe look at it someday.  Meanwhile, i can work on focusing on stuff i want to get done at work and at home.

In the meantime, this story about chinlone, Burma's de facto national pastime, is a long but richly rewarding read.

I miss livrjournal so much.

That would be where you record what you've been drinking lately?

I've been found out.

I liked livejournal a lot better than many other options also.

I'm planning to post a bit more to LJ myself. Maybe I appreciate the quiet.

I've been thinking about returning to LJ, seeing as how it actually seems to be surviving and possibly thriving despite all the reasons it might have died.

"I'm consuming too much clickbait. So bye. PS clickbait." See what you did there.

Hey, powering through that article is an attention span exercise.

I approve this return to LJ.
