Fishing for luck
Last week we drove out to nearby Opua to buy some fishing supplies. We had recently been out in our boat only to have our anchor get stuck on one of the rocks under the boat causing us to lose it. We checked our local fishing store but they didn't stock them, only a shop in Opua had them so we ended up buying a new one along with some hooks, weights and new rope. I spotted two people fishing but not sure how good they got on as the water was so brown after all the rain we've had lately.
Have any of you been trying to cut down your time on social media? I've been trying to wean myself off for the last few days, just so much negativity and vile comments being made. People sadly think it's ok to bully others.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.
Comments
I left Facebook years ago. Couldn't stand the negativity. I like Instagram. Post a photo, a few words and most People just give like and leave it there.
I block any followers I don't know
Must be great from a boat. I always only grab a book.
Hmmm, I see no negative posts on "my" FB. Or I blend that out. Why do people do that? The same reason as those who put tags and graffiti over beautiful murals, I suppose - dumbness and jealousy?
Facebook got very nasty and I put myself largely to blame posting political content and I regret that. I quit posting political content after the January 6th insurrection. I have also rid myself of divisive sites and groups and my facebook feed is very boring now, I am proud to say.
So twitter is still political but it doesn't seem so personal.
So what I have learned is that you have to make social media work for you. I was doing "hot takes" on every thing that annoyed me before.
