# Station Static Tempers Erratic Nerves

i unsuscribe
as i scroll 
on the fediverse
i realize i can't mainline 
the social media outrage machine 
any longer
sure
i'm outraged too
but screaming into the ether 
is just
masochistic psychic masturbation
fucking 
pointless
i'm becoming more and more convinced
that social media exists 
just to keep
people perpetually 
on edge 
and agitated
or 
just constantly stimulated 
so they can't
ever engage 
fully with reality
bottom line:
i'm fed up
wasted too much of my 
sliver of time on this planet
on bullshit
on a 
steady diet of nothing
and the knowledge
that
when you put 
your online life
in the hands of the algorithm
you forego 
your own agency
fuck that
break things
make it your own
even if it's 
a broken mess
at least it's YOUR broken mess
