When A "Soldier" Sends You A Message…
I usually ignore them. And Nigerian princes. And people who start conversations with “hi.” But one day I had enough and I sent every single stupid request a reply message. It made me happy.
The Day Facebook Killed Me.
This is the tale of how I died. It was in November, because I had just voted in the presidential election. This little window popped up at the top of my Facebook account saying, “We hope people who love Mercedes will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate her life.” Well. Well. I guess I’m dead. … Read More

Hello, Everyone! I’m Hiding!
How can I be hiding if I announce it cheerfully, you ask? It’s sort of like a kitschy rhinestone flamingo hiding in its natural habitat. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Check out the best link that I found all day. I’m taking a month-long hiatus from Facebook and Twitter, which is really hard, actually. Because a lot of things … Read More
How Facebook Helped Me Find My Missing Son
I’ll tell you straight up that he wasn’t missing for long, about 20 minutes, and he was returned safely. But I died a little during those 20 minutes. I didn’t know a heart could stop beating for that long and still let somebody survive, because I felt like it didn’t beat again until he was found. Most of you are … Read More
