8:15 AM: I find a happy photo
with a meme and I post it on my feed. I am the first to “like” it so that it will
push to the top of the main FB feed my friends see.
- Like # 2
- Like #3
- Grumpy Face. A link is attached. There is NOTHING happy about last night’s catastrophe,
controversy, corruption! (I do not respond.)
8:20 AM: I post a corny,
non-political, joke. I like puns. I “like” it.
- Like# 2,
3, 4, 5
- A “friend”
corrects an irksome, grammatical error as if I hadn’t noticed it also. (I do not
acknowledge. I refuse to be put on the
defensive.)
8:25 AM: I try my luck with an
uplifting quote, a familiar verse often used in literature and song. I “like”
it.
- Like #2
- Scolded
again. This time for forcing a Bible verse
on those who prefer I keep religious references to myself. (I remind myself to do this again tomorrow.)
8:30 AM: I post a link on my
feed, current news. I share without a “like,”
without a comment, without an emoji.
-
An immediate slam, an accusation of being vile,
complicit, divisive. (I delete this comment.
It is MY feed. I unfriend this
person, ban them from my posts.)
I log out. I need a breather, a cup of coffee,
breakfast.
1 PM: HoneyBunch and I return
from running errands in town. Lunch at a
new place. I tag the place, post a photo of my order, and a nice comment on
the food and the service. Again, I “like”
my own comment to boost it on the main feed.
- Some stranger
(not on my friend list) contradicts my comments. They found lipstick on their glass of ice
tea, they had to swat at flies in the dining room, the server was rude. . ..
- I delete
their libelous comment. Again, it is MY
post, not theirs.
7 PM: I post a picture of the
novel I just finished. I congratulate and tag the author on a job
well done. (I “like” my comment.)
- Like #2,
3, 4
- Comments
of agreement. I interact with them and
ask for other book suggestions.
- One
person talks about the slow pacing, the historical inconsistencies, the
exorbitant price, best to buy it second hand. Author So and So did a better job
on the same topic.
- I consider
deleting this comment, but when others come on and disagree with this person, I
leave it at that.
7:15 PM: Wow! Look at this
recipe. (Like.)
- Like # 2.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- I can’t
have sugar. Can you post this recipe
without sugar?
- Is this
gluten free?
- It has
chocolate. I don’t eat chocolate that is
not ethically harvested!
- I comment
that the recipe is not mine. I just like to look at doughnuts.
9 PM: I log out. I know I should post consistently but I have had enough of “prime time” FB. (7 pm – 9 pm)
3 AM: Insomnia. I scroll though FB, searching for posts
I want to post on my feed. No one bothers me as I read and post. I
ignore spam, click-bait, and anything I dislike. I post something funny, and I “like” it.
- Aw. Are you up?
Insomnia?
- Something
bothering you?
- Do you
need a virtual hug? An emoji? A gif?
I log out and go to bed.
