‘kay. so I might be a little obsessed with clicking the “refresh” button on my new email platform...

but you guys are making it worth it!

my cat gets a fright as I let out a wee shriek every time I see your names pop up! 😆

so I’ll be here, on the couch, scaring the kitty, waiting to see who else signs up before midnight tonight (11:59pm 30 sep).

it’s funny; yesterday, today couldn’t come soon enough. but now that bastard doubt is creeping in.

facebook’s business model doesn’t want us closing down our accounts... ever.

that’s why disabling them (tried that, didn’t work!) is so much easier and suggested at every click!

to delete is to lose everything - forever, even the right to use my business name should I ever want to reinstate my profile.

sigh. deep breaths as I remind myself to stay strong and channel this incredible energy, elsewhere.

so come midnight... I’m out.
these social pages will close down... for good.

it’s been fun here.
but time to let go.

hope to see ya on the emails!
much love, sades x

ps this new community is nothing short of AMAZING and filled with most gorgeous people thus far (many students but some incredible teachers and mentors of mine too!) click link below if you'd like to join us, the cat will be thrilled 🥴

pps feel free to check post pinned at top of this page for further deets.

f*cking up my pretty grid for this one.

but hey, tomorrow... it all gets deleted 🤷🏼‍♀️

one more sleep and then all social media for SWY will shut down.

I was feeling a little tentative at first, thinking about all the info I’ll lose -

but now, it can’t come soon enough. I am so ready to let this one go.

it was never about you guys,
I’ve had nothing but support here.

this is about the ‘machine’ behind my screen.

it’s about the AI that we no longer have control over.

the business model that’s made it impossible for us all to have a conversation on the topics that truly matter.

that’s divided us and polarised our beliefs.

that refuses to acknowledge the mental health of their moderators that can’t sleep due to what they witness during their 5000 clicks per DAY - some of the most heinous acts of our lives, on the daily.

because Facebook is the ONLY platform that doesn’t require a delay on their “fb lives” - by design.

because how we react in those first few seconds, minutes, to live massacres and suicides - our behaviour to that is recorded, and noted, and our very own psychology is used against us... because we can’t turn away.

and I just can’t support that anymore.

Facebook & Google will be the first to go (gmail & google calendar will be tough!)

YouTube for my kids will feel impossible - and it just might be (the restrictions I believe are purposefully problematic).

but we don’t have a choice. we have to try.

there’s an election coming up for my friends in the US and it’s possible they will lose their democracy - that’s largely due to social media.

and when you look out your window, and see the protests and the mess out there, it’s already happening here.

ps if you haven’t, watch on Netflix. if you don’t have access to netflix do a search on Tristan Harris (not a google search! try ecosia 😜)

pps if you want to stay in touch please click the link below before tomorrow!

this is long, but important.

treat it like a podcast; grab a cuppa or have it on in the background as you prep dinner 🥰
