I have now finished Chapter 4 of my current work in progress, the story of aliens who are trying to to help save planet Earth. Also keeping me busy are two types of Twitter users whom I am busy in blocking. I have no need to see or hear from “haters” and “porn hounds.” I find it strange that Twitter suggests that all those whom I block are registered as those who have unfollowed me.
However, I could care less about follower numbers. I have more than my fair share of people I follow who are naturists, centrists, and authors. I don’t think for a moment that those I block from following me are going to be better people who will try to make a positive difference in the lives of fellow humans. I just don’t need them in my on-line life.
In spite of my good intentions, I continue to find myself checking out Twitter, hoping that some positive flow of information. Despite my purging so many negative voices, there continues to be a flood of hate messages. Politics and politicians are at the centre of the the conversation with naturism only appearing at the fringes, mostly with like-minded individuals offering small messages encouraging each other to stay strong and to stay naked. As a result, I have decided to simply sit still and listen. It’s not the time for me to weigh in on very important psychological considerations.
That said, it’s time for my to turn back to my work in progress.
