insta break.
Mar. 3rd, 2026 09:14 amTaking a break from instagram. Did not realize how attached to it I have become, lately. It's such an ugly place. It didn't used to be. I don't know if my feed changed or my friends there changed, I can't tell. My account got reported for posts about feeling sad. Super angry about it. If I actually pay attention to the content of that place, despite how hard I try to keep it to pretty photos and animals and outdoors, it's so much depressing horrible (mostly political) stuff. How can you not expect people who absorb that to get depressed? Hypocrites. I gotta get out of there. I have justified its use for work, but I don't really get much business from that site. It's 99% word of mouth, and 1% facebook.
Will have to find more books while I'm away from there. Maybe I'll just stick to Avalanche posts and nothing else, from now on, I dunno. I think it's time to go.
...
I did get outside at 2:30am and clouds had rolled in, but I waited patiently for a gap and got to see one second of an eerie crescent. I love the black parts of lunar eclipses, the reddish/brown part is not my favorite actually. The different-shaped crescents touch something in my heart.
I still feel terrible. Disrupted sleep isn't helpful. But it's okay. I will be in Vegas tomorrow night, and hopefully in real sunshine all day Thursday, Friday, and much of Saturday.
I will not share photos of red rock canyon to instagram.
