Today (social media is icky)
I went to see Mufasa with my youngest today. I rank it an 8 out of 10 (my child always asks for a rating) and managed not to cry (potentially a first for a Disney flick).
I avoided the television, which was fantastic for my mental health, but then stumbled upon something that happened on said television on a social media app. They all make me feel icky. I thought about making a post on Bluesky, but didn't. It's all just ick-inducing.
I wish I had deleted TikTok when they took it down for the US users for those 8 or so hours. I wish I had a good reason not to go back. But it's a way for one of my children and I to bond, and I'm not giving that up right now.
I wish I had the spine to delete my personal Meta accounts. I deactivated one Facebook, and deleted a couple unused Instagram accounts. But one I need to keep for work, and one I cant bring myself to remove because of the connections I have there. (They're real life people I know, so I'm not sure why it's so hard. The people I'm only connected with online I have connections with elsewhere. Why must I keep this Instagram?)
My kid's dad is making dinner for us, so I'm going to focus on the delicious meal I didn't have to prepare. Another small piece of good for my mental health. Tomorrow is tomorrow, and it starts with therapy, so that's good for me.
