I almost liked it better when everything on my news feed was someone posting a hugely illogical rant. At least then, I was getting something resembling thought, even if it was completely asinine nine times out of ten. Now, it's ****ing pictures which are asinine ten times out of ten.

Seriously, the only things which post actual words and thought on my feed seem to be NPR and Al Jazeera English.

i couldn't agree with this more. it's really disheartening too. i have a few friends that use it (kinda like i do) to try and keep people updated on things going on the world, and that feels good. but out of roughly 500 "friends" i see only ten (and that's rounding up) who use it for this. i am pretty accustomed to using full sentences and making an effort to express myself and what i have to offer as thoroughly as i can, and it sucks SO MUCH when some ignorant d*ck say something about writing an essay to make look like i'm somehow out of line... not because i feel out of line, but because it's evidence that social media - what with the sheer pace of it alone - is serving to sort of degrade the attention span of people in general... i really could write an essay about this, but i just wanted to sort of agree with the above quote and express my sadness at the inanity of it all.

Yes, there are a VERY select few on my friend's list who will actually post something moderately interesting or state some sort of opinion, but they, like me, don't really post often. I think we're probably all disheartened by our other facebook friends doing nothing but posting the same memes or photos over and over again. I've only posted a few quote photos, like, maybe three or four ever, and those have just been because it was something I really wanted to share - like, something I'd just read which I found particularly moving for some reason - and figured no one would even read it amongst the sea of pictures otherwise.

Today, I posted that I was reading American Gods, because, I mean, Hell, I am...and maybe someone will post a recommendation based on that, or something. Before that, though, I think my last post was a lengthy rant about people wanting to leave gay marriage "up to the states." Aside from that, I use a few private groups on there which rarely post pictures and encourage discussion, or just skim.
