added important life events to my facebook timeline.

Claire Evans from the band YACHT reads her essay ‘Luddite Love’ - a meditation on the fate of romance in the age of machines.

Here’s someone I don’t unfriend on Facebook because she frequently leaves her page logged in on someone else’s computer and that person, rather than posting a status that she’s gay or whatever, instead posts vivid descriptions of trips to the bathroom.

synecdoche:

what was the point of facebook before cover photos

I’m back on facebook, and I’ve got a very snazzy new cover photo for the occasion.

Facebook makes a failed appeal to empathy

I’m mighty proud of the synergy between my new cover photo and profile picture on facebook.

Passive Aggressive Grandmother

A little context:

• My grandmother (mom’s side) took my brother and I to England when I was eight. We visited family who lived on farms, World War Two museums and a very large toy store. When I was came home two weeks ago, she was there for dinner and said I should have said hello to her first, rather than my sister (the first person I saw when I walked through the door) because of this trip.
• My mother and her mother do not get along well.
• My family, minus my brother & I and plus my father’s mother, are in England for Spring Break this week. We were all instructed not to let my maternal grandmother know that my fraternal grandmother was on the trip so as not to make her jealous. An emotionally-mature person might think that my parents are well within their rights to bring the one grandmother (whose husband recently died) and not the other. My mom’s mom is not that person.

My mom apparently forgot about this warning and posted several pictures of the trip on facebook. My brother sent me an excited text message Monday morning about the first comment, and we’ve been keeping track since then.

Thank you for the update.

This was someone I removed as a facebook friend a long time ago. I told someone else I had done this, and was told it was harsh. I should hide inane statuses rather than un-friend the people who post them.

Not long after that, I had a friend request waiting for me.

Not long after that, I read an inane status update.

Meanwhile, Antoine Dodson is having a breakdown on Facebook.

I can’t think of anything to add except that I’m continually fascinated by the lottery-like creation of celebrities, followed soon after by their implosion.

Facebook is on to me.
