I miss the days of Pidgin and proper old IM protocols. And no smartphone. And having to wake up and get out of bed and boot that all up and settle in.

I hate this expectation that I’m online and accessible 24/7. And that if I didn’t read and/or reply right away I’m somehow ignoring etc… no. I got a life I need to deal with. I’ll get to the conversations when I can.

Now it’s just rollover in bed and see folks pining for attention on TG on phone and if I don’t give it I’m the bad guy. 😭
