March 20, 2010 Might be time for a break
I’ve been sort of restlessly circling around a decision to stop (or pause) blogging here for a while now.
I think the energy expended on being angry at society, while worthwhile, can be exhausting and can leak into the rest of my life. I have a couple of ideas for less strenuous spaces, on food and cinema. I have one set up over here.
I might be quiet on the ‘fuckpoliteness’ front for a while.

Thanks Deborah! I’m in a bit of a strange place at the moment and online politics is just getting me down. I just want some calm time out I think.

Sorry to hear it’s got too much for you, I think you have SO much to contribute. I hope you come back to this one when things are less toxic for you around it.
Heading over to the new one now.

Thanks sleepydumpling! I don’t *feel* that right now, I have to say, just in a bit of a bleurgh space. But it’s nice to hear.

FP, I will miss the regular rants, but I empathise!
I hope this doesn’t mean no more mini-rants every now and then in comments at Hoyden? We do enjoy them!
Off to check out foodie blog now.

FP, have loved your rants and will look for them on HAT – do what you need to do to feel rewarded in your work. I stopped watching reality TV because the nastiness got to me – just the same, really, no?

Yeah – I haven’t been able to watch tv for ages either – I tend to watch old tv shows on dvd – no ads and I can watch when I want to

FP, I will miss you in this space. I love your rants. They make me feel quite positive. But it’s not about how it makes me feel, of course. Am off to check out your new place.

Thanks – hopefully I’ll feel all recharged and renewed after some time blogging on other stuff and come back and rant some more. 🙂

Hey 🙂 I’ll be reading at the new blog and hoping to see you at HAT.
I get what you mean about the anger.
I’m also considering a Facebook break!
