Whelp. Deactivated the Facebook account, too. Will probably delete it altogether. Much like Twitter, I have realized that if I did not have a means of staying connected with someone outside of that platform they probably aren’t all that important in my life, and the amount of family drama there has gotten unmanageable. So it goes.

I'd probably fully remove mine but it's still slightly useful for event coordination and it's also where roller derby refs discuss rules interpretation. But I haven't used my account in forever. I don't miss it.

There's just no net benefit to us being connected at this point on either side, and in fact there is harm being caused by having that level of access to me. Sucks, but after 50 years I'm done with putting square pegs into round holes. I've gotten more compassion, understanding, and support from random internet strangers than people who I'm related to.
