The Most Connected We’ve Ever Been. And the Most Fucking Disconnected.

I returned to social media because, as an author, I need to promote my writing. Unfortunately, I made the brilliant fucking decision to rejoin Facebook during an election year. Between the political grandstanding, self-appointed intellectual elites, and endless arguments, I remembered exactly why I'd left. We've developed the technology to connect with virtually anyone on the planet, yet somehow we've forgotten how to actually connect with one another. And I can't help wondering what the fuck happened to sitting around a kitchen table, drinking coffee, playing cards, and just being human.
