A really really tough question about #downsizing....

Downsizing my life and starting with the closet. Hiding in the very dark part of the closet, sitting alone on a shelf and I’m staring at *those* jeans 👖

You know the ones: goal jeans.

Is this still a thing?
I haven’t fit in them in years, but somehow they still hold hope, memories, and a little stubbornness. Actually, probably more wishful thinking than anything else. 😂

Do I keep them for motivation or let them go and accept who I am now?

The #downsizing adventure continues... #MarieKondo says keep what sparks joy.

For me, that includes old wooden floors, a few good memories, and a pair of boots made for walking.

Everything else? Thank it kindly and let it go (but that is really tough with a lifetime of memories: concert tshirts, stupid #souvenirs, #inherited treasures that really are not treasures, etc).

“Sources familiar with the matter say the company (#META) could lay off as much as 20 percent of its staff, eliminating roughly 15,800 positions. That would be the largest series of #layoffs at the company since it #terminated 22,000 workers over just a few months between November 2022 and early 2023.

Word of the potential #downsizing comes after Meta signaled that it was all but giving up on #VR and the #Metaverse, slashing budgets and closing studios. Instead, the company has been spending big to attract #AITalent, build #DataCenters, and acquire companies like #Moltbook.”

I note the “silver bullet” approach by a company who was founded on PHP widgets and #SocialMedia.

Meta is reportedly planning to lay off up to 20 percent of its staff to offset big spending on AI and data centers.

#Downsizing is going a bit better than expected in that I am allowing myself to release years of clothing that were never worn or sentimental tshirts. I even found a "lost" pin that was on a jacket waaaay back in the closet. 💕

But, everything came to a full stop when I reached my #hockey sweater (aka #jersey) collection. Almost each are autographed & some I inherited from my brother. 😱

The start of #downsizing has begun.

I wish I could go back to my younger self and convince her that the tiny beach shack or small rustic old cabin she always dreamt of was enough.

A big #suburban #home was always too much.

Time for me to stop keeping up with the Joneses and back to #Appalachia where I belong.

#Digg is #downsizing its team due to challenges in finding product-market fit, including a significant #botproblem and the strong pull of existing social platforms. Despite these setbacks, Digg is not shutting down and is reimagining its approach with the return of founder Kevin Rose. The company remains committed to building a trustworthy online community. https://digg.com/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia
