I’ve gotten kind of burnt out of making memes. Maybe I am just getting older, and different things work for different time periods. Or maybe I just got burned out of making the same 4 jokes 100 different ways. It might be because I just started using social media less, because of the downsides that come with being chronically online. I didn’t just disable CWB, I disabled my personal account as well. I am not really sure, honestly. What I do know is that I don’t enjoy the whole meme thing as much as I used to.

I started doing Shailos on a whim. I actually thought people would find the whole Rav thing corny, but people actually liked it. (For those of you who are still not sure: no, I am not a Rav.)

I liked doing Shailos, and people seemed to like that a lot more than my memes, especially the conversations about the culture. I did find a few things extremely frustrating with Instagram’s format, however.

There is a limit as to how much I can respond in one story post, and even then the words are usually tiny, which makes it difficult to read.

I would respond on the fly to Shailos off the top of my head in real time. I feel that many of the Shailos would be better answered if I were to take my time reading up on topics, and actually think before I speak. You may not be aware, but I don’t always do that.

This last one is the biggest reason why I want to make the switch. The format on Instagram does not allow you guys to engage with each other or even just to express how you guys feel about a particular subject. So many people seem to want to do so, and I would love to have all of you guys as part of the discussion.

Bear with me as I figure this whole thing out, and thank you for being here.
