The first arm I twisted was my daughter's-- @sydney.potts-- who is technically still here, but I haven't managed to inspire much real engagement from her yet unless I force it. We're getting there.
I'm still finding my groove when it comes to introducing this world to people in a digestible way-- while contending with attention vacuums like #TikTok... that's a big part of the problem.
I'm all about solutions though, and I think it's worth the work in the end.
Approach carefully though, don't make any sudden movements... we don't want to scare her away! She is a Canadian female human, a bit on the short side but cute as a button-- a mother to three young girls, a photographer and a hopeless cheese-ball...
And she likes weirdos too, apparently, so she should fit nicely into her new Hivian surroundings! 😋
We actually live in the same building and we've grown close over these last several months. Our kids seem to get along for the most part-- they go to the same school too-- and we're all just trying to feel our way through this new and mind-numbing world together.
Wish us luck!
I'm half-kidding, of course (but THREE-QUARTERS totally serious). It may not necessarily kill us in most cases, but our brains won't be able to perform basic functions after a while.
Exhibit A: watch the ODYSEE video below.
Shh... it's okay. Everything's gonna be okay.
That's why I've brought you here, @kpfreelance and
@sydney.potts: so we can save your souls from this new drug, this societal monstrosity... Tick, tock... Tik Tok... Boom!
(That was everyone dying tragic and excruciatingly painful deaths.)
(See? Another tragic TikTok-related death.)
So help me help you. It'll work if you work it.
We are family... I've got all my sisters with me.
I'm surrounded by girls, actually... also a problem. That's why I need #Hive to help a brother out: not only for the awesome sauce into which we will submerge them, but I literally need some male humans to even the scale a bit. (Boys rule and girls drool.)
That is all.
Give them a follow and a friendly nudge. My daughter, @sydney.potts, is only 11 years old-- so please interact accordingly and be patient... but
@kpfreelance is a fully-grown adult human (a girl though, so patience is still required).
"Long live Hive.
Death to TikTok."
-- Jesus
It's true. I'll shut up now.
