Me shading my Gen X and Boomer friends.

I have not logged in for so damn long that #Facebook made me jump hoops to log in. I have to fish my photos from the platform tho, so I can't disconnect it yet lol

@liztai I've been wary about giving personal details and photos of my kids to Facebook for a while now, but there are edge relatives and in-laws and whatnot that I want to let have updates. I tried posting links to my own photo site a few times. Finally, I'm starting an email mailing list for a family newsletter. I'll email them those personal details like in the 1990s.

@shannonkay omg email newsletter to relatives is the BEST THING. I love the idea.

Yeah I don't like sharing personal info on FB. A lot of my friends OVERSHARE to a painful degree. I really have no energy to deal with their drama and honestly i don't want to inflict my neuroses on them either.

@liztai I agree. And the problem I had was that people like my mom's cousins and my husband's aunts wanted personal updates, pictures of the kids, etc. But we don't see them IRL, they're not local, etc. Those are the "Facebook people" I didn't want to abandon. Email is perfect for that crowd!
