Well, that was fast. TikTok is back, and the message welcoming back Americans thanked Trump. I’m pleased to see a number of creators who are glad it’s back, but feel like it’s been tainted. At moments like this, where you have Zuckerberg sounding like every toxic podcast bro, Elon vying to be treated like he’s…
For some time, Sunday Mornings meant that I would get up to feed Ash (he does not understand the concept of sleeping in – he is a cat who wants his breakfast) and scroll on TikTok until everyone else woke up. This morning, it meant logging in to a ton of meta push notifications, and…
I am internet old. I was 14 when we got AOL in our house, and yes, I absolutely did tie up our phone line constantly. I’ve come here today, my lovelies, to talk about something that people seem to not realize… Which is all about text, tone and mind reading. And that’s this- you can’t…
It was only a month and a half ago I blogged about what was going on with Twitter and what was next on the horizon with social media. While I think we all predicted that Twitter was on the decline, I don’t think that anyone would have foreseen just how quickly things would devolve –…

And I realized, with the amount we share- most of us likely have days that we’d rather not relieve. Deaths of friends, Anniversaries with Exes. People who turned your life upside down. Thankfully, there’s a…
I have long been a fan of Tumblr. While it’s hard to describe, it’s a very visual way of communicating. And it’s fun, most of the time. Now that Tumblr has been acquired by Yahoo, they’ve slowly been migrating towards a more homogenous social media experience. Which means what? It’s acting a lot more like…
This has been our first year taking the Kidlets to comic cons, and I think we’ve learned a lot. And I thought I’d share our tips to introducing kids to comic conventions. Take your kids for only one of the days. Sundays are best, because they tend to be the least crowded- and I know…
So I was browsing my Twitter feed when I started to see a friend of mine tweet at someone I’ve blocked. (Yes, you can probably guess who it was that I’ve blocked on Twitter) We have a lot of mutual friends on social media, but I haven’t seen ANYTHING in a year. So I’m assuming…
