Am tiring of FACEBOOK. For me it was a great learning tool. I do not think I could have learned Wet Plate without it. Now I am learning Photogravure as well. It’s like having wonderful, giving teachers around the world. I have met Facebook friends in real life, shared meals and stories, all great fun.
But there are many FACEBOOK negatives as well. All the racism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia and Islamaphobia on the site is wearing me down. Seeing all that hate from so many, more than I ever thought existed, is depressing me. Today a video popped up of a woman being repeatedly slapped on the street by a man. Terrible stuff. Who wants to be around that?
All that ugliness destroys your soul. Maybe I should take a Facebook break.
