A Funeral For An “X” Friend Named Twitter

1 Comment

After the recent news that Elon Musk would move Twitter to a paid platform, I decided to delete my Twitter account today. To tell you the truth I should have done it sooner. It was bittersweet because I have been on X/Twitter for a long time. My thinking is that it will die sooner rather than later. I also don’t want something like that hanging around because I don’t know what will happen to the things I have done there. So I am pronouncing @tonyburgess1969 on Twitter digitally dead. Rest In Peace, Twitter.

I am on Threads which is getting better all the time. Check me out there.

Would You Like To Know More, Asking Questions

3 Comments

This is not a post about the movie Starship Troopers, where there is a constant question “Would you like to know more?”.

This post is focused on asking questions about stuff you don’t know anything about and would like to know something about. We should never be so intelligent that we make people feel dumb just for asking. It seems that sort of behavior happens online more these days.

To be enlightened, you must ask questions and be curious. I need to do more of that, we all need to do that. Even spouses need improvement in asking questions and listening.

So, yes, I would like to know more. It’s okay to explain to me so that I will be learned.

Sunday Reflection – Everyone Is Judgy

Leave a comment

I am judgy. I am also human. With those two things being said I can say that everyone is a little judgmental. I hope partly because we need some level of judgment in order to keep ourselves out of trouble and avoid danger. But the truth is that we all judge one another.

We all label, we all assume. Is it right? Is it good? I would say that our imperfections lead us to do those things.

The thing we have to do is not use that as an excuse to treat others poorly although it happens due to human nature. My friends, we have to work on being judgy. It is hard work but worthy work. I just hope we learn to be in a community where we can live with one another despite our faults and other stuff.

Love despite the labels. Judge not or try not to. Be curious, that might be the remedy for being judgy.
