if you looked at my profile a week ago, it'd reflect that activity: an old picture of myself, taken on a point 'n shoot, that's probably a dozen years old; very few posts, all of them friends-only; liking a few things from old friends, and ignoring absolutely everything else. i've been using fb marginally more the last few weeks, promoting some music stuff i have upcoming. after that, it'll be quiet again. but in the spirit of that, i decided to (finally) change my profile picture.
currently: a half dozen comments, mostly from lovely old friends, but also, otherwise something like 60 likes? when my friends list is barely four times that, that's a lot. unexpected, and unsettling. worse, a couple of friends irl mentioned the update. which: don't. absolutely don't talk to me irl about social media stuff. jesus, you know the rules. the two worlds are supposed to be separate. shut up and be cool.
