Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧People know Trump is crazy.
Biden being crazy (or whatever) is what sells.
That’s all that matters.
It’s all that matters to just about anybody doing anything.
JuliaAfter spending a few weeks offline I started innocently occasionally clicking on one app or another for a brief scroll.
The reptilian part of my brain was drawn initially to twitter, after an ex president was due to hand himself.
A wedding I was unable to attend encouraged me to click on Facebook to see the pics.
A google search of one of my 3am pains lead me to Reddit.
Once I returned to an app it was like the habit of clicking and scrolling during dull moments of the day was immediately reinstated…I don’t know why I didn’t come here sooner
Last night I opened Facebook to see an ex councillor had posted an anti immigration meme in our community group, the admin usually discourages memes as not being about our community, (according to google the largest immigrant community in the town I live is Gurka and that’s because we are a military town where many of them were based) but was upset that the approved post (by him or his wife the only two admins) garnered more, albeit negative response than his own happy Easter message had…
This morning as I waited for the kettle to boil I sleepily/mindlessly clicked on twitter, the first post I saw was from a clout chaser who until recently was themselves transgender rehearing to a “man named Tara”.
Both occasions I baulked at in humanity of the messages, I delved into the comments loosing faith in humans having a higher nature…
Then I remembered this kind little place where admins didn’t support any kind of discrimination and I was more likely to read about sciences greatest achievements this week or a representative of a cause rallying troops that see hate spilling out of people who would rather receive bad attention than no attention.
A quick scroll and it feels like home again. I think I’m going to come back here more often. If you’ve read this far I’d love to know why you’re here?

P.S Reddit is just like a story time, I ain’t mad at that!
