I've taken a break from Steemit recently, I don't know why I have, I just have. I think it was more accidental than anything. I got bored of every article being about Bitcoin or Ethereum, and how they were or weren't effecting our lives that day.
But I'm back so I guess I missed it a little bit.
I've spent a lot of time surfing the waves of Instagram lately. Boy, is that a weird platform to find yourself on. Half of my news feed was videos of "slime". Some weird, colorful glue, water, paste mixture. Not only are people obsessed with making "slime", but they're also obsessed with taking weirdly intimate videos of themselves essentially finger banging said "slime." I shit you not these videos had like 10,000 or more likes. Congratulations to whoever grabbed onto that band wagon first. May your fingers forever have a glue film on them.
And the other half of my feed seemed to be full of younger girls, 16-19, taking selfie videos, lip syncing a portion of a song, doing some half ass dance moves/hand moves that mock the lyrics in the song, while making "cute" faces. Now even though I went and blocked every Slime page that I came across that day, I didn't hate the slime thing as much as I hated the lip syncing videos.
Like yeah bitch, we get it, you're cute but why does this 15 second video clip of you mouthing the words to some Ariana Grande song, changing camera angles/dancingwhateverthefuckyouwannacallit, have 35,000 likes. Who are you and why is this cool. It's not cool.
Do I seem jaded? I don't care.
Death to those two instagram trends.
Also death to that Spanish Justin Bieber song.
Anyways, here's another picture of my cat.
Happy Thursday, everyone! May the steem be with you :)
