I have three Substacks. One podcast. A TikTok for short-form videos. A YouTube for long-form. Two Instagram accounts. Twitter and Threads. A public Facebook page and a personal one. Plus, I run social media for other people as a side gig. I truly love doing all of it. I’ve been doing this since 2009. I’m very burnt out.

If you watch the video, you’ll see a couple of things. Abe’s new Ray-Ban Meta Headliner Smart Glasses which ironically, he got the same day I started deleting all my FB and IG posts (Abe himself has been off social media for years). The new Cookbook LA which just opened in my neighborhood. Boygenius at the Hollywood Bowl whose music and friendship give me so much hope about younger generations and how they experience the world.

You’ll also see me struggling to figure out my relationship to social media and documenting my life. I know I can’t stop doing this cold turkey and I also don’t know if I even want to quit.
