I've avoided BookFace for a while, about a month. It's now peppered with "suggested pages", ads and nonsense. The nonsense is mainly human created, trivia dug from the trivia mines and "shared". Selfies, the red hot news that America is a shit hole run by racists and at risk of electing one as president. A thin spray of helpless references to conflicts we can only experience in nightmares or in 12 second bursts on BookFace.
And endless yakking and holiday snaps and phone videos.
And then I find that a real human being who I actually know [not virtually] is leaving and going to Ethiopia and has invited me and many others for a farewell drink, tonight! As in TODAY! Lauren Elliott, maybe 24, going back to Ethiopia for the 3rd time.
Young people! I wish I was 40 years younger, I honour and respect them for actually doing and not just wishing.
Paradox.

A follow up to What is to be done? I did in 2006. This is mainly to post video and some photography.
