My Digital Detox

October 14, 2017

As some of you might have noticed, over the last month, I’d been growing more and more fatigued at something that seems to be happening online. People are nitpicking at my posts and the points I am making, in order to create a problem that isn’t there. I understand people are exhausted and angry from being oppressed by a system that undervalues, oppressed and marginalises so many minorities, but when you are at the brunt of it, it can take its toll.

As a result, I’ve been turning my phone, laptop and all electronics off for the last few weeks for anywhere between 24-48 hours and it’s been bliss so for those of you who’ve been seeing me shattered, I wanted to explain why and my side of it and also to encourage you to take a detox from your online life too.

Also it’s my birthday on Sunday and as you all know, I don’t do the patreon or PO box thing but if you would like to do something lovely for my birthday, can you hit subscribe on my YouTube … my goal is to hit 2,000 before my birthday! Would mean a lot cause as you know, I’ve made a commitment to make two videos a week every week for a full year and sometimes that silly number helps with the motivation when I just cba ???
