Despite being a millennial that grew up with and on the internet, watching it evolve into the beast it is now, the increasingly hostile attitude of people online is terrifying and paralysing. It took a lot of courage to even return to this blog posting quasi-anonymously.
Social media is unrecognizable from what it was 10 years ago. It is awe-some and awful in equal measures. People are very quick to judge and point the finger, and there's a lot less tolerance for somebody sharing an opposing view.
It unnerves me because when I log off and go outside, I have to share a planet with these dreadful people. These same sons of bitches are walking around, manning checkouts, running banks, driving buses and whatever else. I don't want to squint at every new person I meet trying to scrutinise whether they're soulless enough to troll and defame and dehumanise someone online. By association, I must be dreadful too.

Drinking: Homemade smoothie: high-speed blended rainbow swiss chard, small chunk of lemon with rind, 1 apple, 1/4 red watermelon, 2 small bananas, 1/2 cup coconut water, 1tsp soaked chia seed and 1 tsp soaked flaxseed/linseed.
This made about 1.8 litres. Drank half and refrigerated half. Honestly? Not my best recipe.
