👋🏽 Hi! This is Jeremy's Craft by Zen

I’ve had it. The last time I logged into Instagram, there were a couple of right-wing organizations recommended to me. I don’t care if it’s a glitch, it’s not acceptable. If a CEO tries to be someone you can’t understand or respect, it’s time to leave.

This is my decision to leave Facebook, Threads, and Instagram. It’s been years on these apps, and it’s time for a farewell.

Caveat

I am still on Whatsapp due to communication with some friends who haven’t left that platform yet. I fear Facebook has such a monopoly on there, and I realize such drastic measures are hard to keep when it comes to cutting off ties with everyone.

The final counts are up. We have the following distribution of media for 2024.

Some of my biggest highlights I pointed out in another post.

I’ll leave that here again because it was a really fun list to put down.

• The film that I want to finish: Past Lives (2023)
• The weird film: Poor Things (2023)
• The cringiest TV series: The Curse, Season 1 (2023-2024)
• The book that resonates the most: The Psychology of Money (2020)
• The unexpected book find: Frostbite (2024)
• My RomCom of the year: Upgraded (2024)
• A great TV find: Ramy (Seasons 1 and 2). I still need to watch the 3rd season
• The cry-fest film: Suzume (2022)
• My good 90’s find: Go (1999)
• The most intense non-intense film: Challengers (2024)
• Unexpected horro series: The first four Ring movies from Japan. Absolutely better than the American ones.
• Best horror from this year: The Substance (2024)
• RIP Dame Maggie Smith: Gosford Park (2001)
• Hallmark Movie of the year: Sugarplummed (2024)

I’ll add in there I also enjoyed Quiz Lady on the plane ride home, although that was on January 1st.

I didn’t read enough books this year. They were mainly non-fiction. The highlights were Frostbite and The Golden Thread.

We saw Hamilton this year, our only musical. Totally worth it!

I tried to include video games, although I’m terrible at finishing them. Maybe I should add an “in progress” for some of those because I don’t always finish them.

In terms of TV shows, we’ve enjoyed the new Fallout show. Morgan’s really enjoyed Dune Prophecy. I watched all of the Good Place, which was wonderful, and has a bittersweet ending.

I’ve started a Discord server! This is a place for more group setting conversation. I have found Discord as a much easier way to interact with people, which I wish was more the case of other social media. The real-time nature of old-school IRC mixed with modern features allows us to make fun, creative conversation. Just abide by the code of conduct of being respectful. With anything, moderation is the key.

Enjoy!
