So many to thank with gratitude deep. Surely I'd be gone or very lost without every single human who touches my life with kindness, decency and humor. My life's blessing is that I get it. It's you. It's us. We matter. I love and admire you all. #HappyNewYear #NewYearsEve2018 🕊️

never underestimate the power of a David Storey suggestion. I got this one down I'll just leave it 'til photo time to reveal whom I chose. Happy New Year. I adore you always, just in case you think I ever stopped. Even if you want me to stop! ;-)

Absofreakinglutely. I mixed toothpaste and baking soda to make a cleaning agent for white surfaces. I also, to my mother's utter horror, was secretly breeding earthworms in my closet until she found my thriving farm. Explorative, imaginative creators we are! xo

That's a challenge for me, having mothered many early communities and promoted them as not just a day job but a life passion. I want to believe connection is still a tool for human social evolution. We couldn't have known how the extreme disruption disruptive technology would go!
Reddit really remains the closest but it's become such an insanity dump at this point only revolutionary data openers, extraordinary minds can deal with huge data sets and glean specific detail with empiric and iterative analysis. For me it's just too exhausting and soul-sucking.
Yes! Bingo - that was far more akin to the BBS model. They didn't hold though. Too much money, too many predatory asshats and middlemen, not enough unity and justice.
If they did it must have been at a time when I was too sick to know. I come from Old Skool BBS days. Community meant community, not shoveling shite while sporting a troll hat. ;-)
Remember when we called #socialmedia and #socialnetworking "Community" - and it WAS?
Yeah, me neither.

I know, my friend. Brutal times are brutal. 2017 provides the empiric evidence for that sad truth. Friendship, community - we can prevail!
