"The internet tidal wave would be followed by a hacking tsunami"
1. I feel okay today. Exercise class was fun, and we got some much needed rain.
2. Yes. It‘s how I stay in touch with some of my friends and get some (but not all) of my news. On the other hand, it can also be frivolous at best and mean spirited. I make a point not to argue with strangers, as tempting as it may be.
3. When I shut it down a couple hours before bedtime (except for Litsy of course), I‘ve found that helps.

I applied to the Amazon Publishing Creator Program and they accepted me. Yay! I don‘t know what social content inspiration means but I‘m glad they‘re giving me a chance.
pickI was eager to read this book and quickly grabbed it off of the library shelf when it arrived, but I‘m so glad to have finished it. The author has been closely reporting on the right, in fascist and highly abusive spaces for a while now; this isn‘t easy. Here, she tells the story of how Fred Brennan‘s creation of 8chan birthed the nightmare we are seeing in America today, and reminds us that you cannot separate racism from misogyny. This ⬇️
pickRonson looks at the phenomenon of internet shaming both in those who did some public misdeed as well as others who made dumb, insensitive jokes, and how that shaming has reverberated in the lives of the shamees. It‘s an interesting read and makes me glad I don‘t use social media outside Litsy. (It looks at events in 2012 and remains very relevant.) #ReadYourEbooks
I saw this ad on Facebook today. Normally, I would be so excited to buy ebooks from Amazon but now, I‘m rethinking buying any digital books. It makes me not want to hoard my ebooks or audiobooks anymore since I‘m only purchasing a license to read them. I like digital books though. I don‘t have to worry about finding space for them or deciding what to do with them after reading them. All I have to do is just delete them off of my phone.
Here‘s more from that post I saw today from a Facebook page I follow called Dog And A Book talking about Amazon‘s new change. I don‘t want to pirate books and I don‘t want to hurt authors. I downloaded my ebooks to my computer because I was worried about losing them. I thought I was doing the right thing saving them to my computer and just keeping them on my computer because if I lose my ebooks then I won‘t have any way to get them back.
I follow a page on Facebook called Dog And A Book and she posted about Amazon‘s new change where Amazon isn‘t going to allow people to download books to their computer anymore and here‘s a few things she said about it. I wish I would‘ve seen her post about it before I downloaded my ebooks to my computer. I‘m still trying to process the fact that for years since owning a Kindle that I‘ve never actually owned my ebooks.
I just finished adding the Kindle files into a folder on my computer I created just for books and it didn‘t take me very long to do at all because I just selected all the files at once and moved them to the books folder. Now that they‘re on my computer, I could move them to another e-reader or just keep them on my computer. I would recommend downloading your ebooks from Amazon while you can because on Feb 26, you won‘t be able to.
I just finished downloading all of my Kindle ebooks to my computer. I had 2 ebooks that I wasn‘t able to download for some reason. They probably deleted them from their website and I deleted some that I wasn‘t going to reread. I have 3,454 books. I started downloading all of them on Wednesday and I just finished downloading all of them on Saturday at 4 AM. I‘m glad that‘s done. All I have to do next is put them in a folder on my computer.
