Dear Twitter (I know, you are X now, but I still prefer Twitter and this is my blog so I will call you what I want) It is time. Time to say goodbye. I don’t mean a temporary break either. We have hung around with each other since the summer of 2007 when I joined […]

Trying Twitter Blue so you don’t have to
Elon Musk took over Twitter, recently and announced a new feature called Twitter Blue. I tried it out, so you don’t have to. I love Twitter. It’s always been one of my favourite social media sites and I’ve been using it since 2011. Twitter was recently bought by Elon Musk (and even if you aren’t […]
READ MOREWhy I have stopped being “nice” on social media.
I have stopped being “nice” on social media. Let me rephrase that, because that sounds like I have decided to start being horrible on social media. That’s not what I mean. In fact, let me explain what I try to do and what I adhere to, and then it will all make sense. I wrote […]
READ MOREMake Instagram what you want it to be.
Ah, Instagram. We love to hate it. My teenager tells me that it’s only for old people and that TikTok is where it’s at now, but I can’t get to grips with sharing videos and coming up with funny content so I can’t be bothered with that. I joined years ago and got sucked into […]
READ MORESwitching off social media, on holiday. Yes, we must!
The world of social media and blogging is a funny old place. I have found a community of like-minded people and a support network that has propped me up on many occasions, as well as linking me up with people I otherwise wouldn’t have connected with, that I now have friendships with across the world. […]
READ MOREDear people in my phone…
Dear people in my phone. I just wanted to say thank you. You are in my phone. We communicate via WhatsApp, or Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. We possibly don’t know each other in “real life” or we don’t see each other often, but we communicate on our phones. You don’t know how much your support […]
READ MORESocial Media makes people nasty and people think that’s ok?
I am a BIG FAN of social media. Social media has been my lifeline and my community when “real life” hasn’t been so good at being there to prop me up. I have some good relationships with people on social media, and admire many people who share their lives out there alongside mine. Social media […]
READ MOREFacebook and Instagram have ended third party data access and I can’t say I am sad…
So, if you live under a rock, or don’t use social media, then you may not know that Facebook has gotten into a lot of trouble (and the husband and I have just had a debate over the use off “got” or “gotten” in this sentence, I am still not sure!) over the use of […]
READ MOREJaded with Instagram…
Yup, it’s another person moaning about Instagram. Because we need one more voice having a whine. But it’s Friday and I haven’t done a Friday Rant for a while, so I am letting loose. We all know by now (and if you don’t you clearly live under a social media free rock, somewhere, which is […]
READ MOREFriday’s Rant – stop with the silly faces on Snap Chat…
This week is brief, I know, you all sigh with relief! ? I’ve joined SnapChat. It’s another social media app, and given I don’t know what I’m doing and already have a billion social media applications I can barely manage, is seems daft to add another but I’m weak, I’m a foolish sheep and I […]
