New social media accounts!
Updated: May 9, 2023
This week I've been working on setting up/ cleaning up social media accounts.
... Can I be honest? I quite dislike social media. It makes me anxious just thinking about it. I feel much more comfortable in a format where I can iterate and edit and change things till I feel like whatever I'm working on is effectively saying what I want it to say. I know I'm not alone on this. Many of the other artists/ poets/ creative people I've known have felt similarly. Posting constantly to social media can feel antithetical to the task that I want to do professionally, which involves lot of revision and precision. As an artist, I do want to share my thoughts and feelings, but I don't feel like a couple off handed words or photos aren't the way I want to do that. I get uncomfortable with how firm and direct the messaging is in a platform like that. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong? Maybe I'm taking it too seriously? It just feels weird to me to publish something that I'm not supposed to take seriously...
But for everything I dislike about using social media, it feels like a necessary part of trying to release any big project into the world right now. So follow go ahead and "drop a follow!" lol. https://www.facebook.com/people/Thomas-Marn/100092565421512/
Right now, the plan is to update these social media feeds with similar content to what I'm posting here (if a bit less personal/rambling). But who knows!- as I get better at social media in general, the types of content I post on each might differentiate.
