Dear fellow social media futurists...
My apologies for disappearing for the past month+ here on Locals. It's been a weird time in life. Started at the end of November when my dog Sharpie died. I was out of it for a few weeks after that, just in a daze... mourning/grieving, and the next thing ya know... it's Christmas... and then... yep, I (finally) got the COVID. What a way to end 2021 and start 2022 eh?
All that being said, I have emerged in tact and ready to move forward in life. Yes it's a slow start to the new year for me, but... I'm actually feeling strangely optimistic about 2022. Maybe I'm delirious about it that way... like, even if societal insanity ensues, hell... 2020 & 2021 have prepared me for the next clusterfuck.
Anyway, just wanted to say a quick hello again... that I am back here on Locals, and am looking forward to steering clear of Facebook/Twitter, etc. to spend more time here on Locals. I have a few videos to post here from the past few weeks, and ALSO... I'll be posting the first ever LOCALS-ONLY podcast episode in the coming weeks where I uncensoredly share my COVID story/experience, so stay tuned for all of that...
If it's not too late to say so (or even if it is, fuck it)... HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL.
Yours truly,
Jay Kaslo

Do you remember a time when "liberal" and "conservative" were not considered pejorative terms?
I feel like there was more of a spectrum before, and each of us would lie somewhere on that spectrum, a blend of both conservative and liberal value judgments, depending on the specific issue.
It's not enough to just be intelligent.
You need to actually APPLY your intelligence.

Hi all, sorry I've been away once again. Hopefully you've managed to hear a few of 2022's Introversion podcast episodes... despite me not being active on Locals.
I really am so glad that you have decided to be part of this burgeoning little Locals community, and I apologize for not posting more here, as I've just been underwater with so many life things (some bad things, but also some good). All that being said, I want to remedy this... and I think it starts with me spending less time on Facebook and more time here.
I've realized Facebook has been pretty much the only social media platform I turn to in order to have social interaction with actual human beings (I haven't really been using Twitter any more, or Instagram, or Pinterest, or Tumblr, or TikTok, or pretty much anything else.) But... the FB experience has been wholly unsatisfying. Because it's basically just the same 3-5 people who ever like/comment on anything I post. But those are also the same 3-5 people who I text with every ...
