I will be deactivating my Facebook within the month. It is something I had to postpone since I had books to promote. My last book won’t be promoted on FB since it’s unnecessary, but I have two more podcast interviews coming up; so it will stay until those are aired. I got rid of my short-lived Bluesky account because there was no point to reading that obnoxious wallowing and bitterness. It was worth some experimenting, but, after that, I just nerfed it. As for FB, I have been having a little fun with a couple of outrageous experiments, but I had to nerf those because people meddled and ruined it. I got some workable results, but not as much as I would have if people didn’t interfere. Still, I can’t complain. I got good stuff which I can use.

I am not on X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Ning, SubStack and pretty all social media. I always found it demeaning, but publishers expect you to work it, anyway. The only one I “liked” was Ello, but it nerfed itself a couple of years ago. There are people who will want to know how to reach out to me. The answer is I will reach out to them if we had a previous relationship on FB. I don’t feel like being easily accessible. I wanted to nerf this blog, too, but I think this is going to be my sole communications channel from now on. It may not be in blog form, but this is going to be the primary way to know what’s happening on my end. If you care enough to know, you’ll be here, and if you don’t, then you weren’t ever serious in the first place. I am not going to monetize it, either.

If you are coming here still expecting to steal ideas on grander and deeper political insights and pass them off as your own, you are out of luck. I am not doing those kinds of posts anymore. As in, not at all. I have no need. Get lost.

I will have contact for business inquiries when I revamp this website (through a third party, not directly to me), but I will most likely switch domain providers this year, too. I don’t like WP. I really liked Squarespace, but then I had to switch for technical reasons.
