There was a plane crash in Philly this evening at 6pm. Luckily, our friends and family are safe, but a lot of people have been hurt and killed.

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.

Well this explains Target. #DEIban #DEIdismantling #DEImatters

Take back your attention.

Thus is quite the watch after the last 48 hours 👀 If you’ve been feeling stuck in a spiral or the algorithm this might help unstick you #hypernormalization #inauguration #tiktokban

Crazy to think that just 4 years ago Amanda Gorman read The Hill We Climb

My feelings haven’t changed since the first term. Still can’t bring myself to hit “continue” and be complicit in accepting this. #tiktokban

And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.

And just like that, the Government silenced 170 million Americans the day before the inauguration. #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee

I’m getting back into Martial Arts. I’m learning to bake bread. I’m exerting all my free will to live and stay the hell away from Meta platforms.

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

#booksky #tiktokban

How I’m fighting the #TikTokban:
- Leaving 1 star reviews for every Meta app in the App Store
- Emailing every government representative associated with me with scathing and specific grievances
- Being active on Bluesky and Rednote
- Deleting nonessential Meta apps
- Talking about it on LinkedIn

Basically - I’m not here to tell you how to follow me, I want to follow you where you go. Among other things.

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement

It was the most jarring experience. Went out on a Thoren video

Beyond fitting that one of your TikToks was the very last thing I could see on the app - I can’t believe this is the reality we live in.
