TikTok and RedNote - The World is Spinning

 The World is Spinning (and Maybe a Little Glitching): A Day of Unexpected Turns

RedNote & Tiktok

Well, folks, buckle up! It's been one heck of a 24 hours. Last night, right in the middle of my doomscrolling session (guilty!), my phone decided to have a full-blown temper tantrum. It glitched, sputtered, and then, poof, TikTok vanished. Just like that. Gone. Adios. The US government, in its infinite wisdom... (while simultaneously losing all wisdom), decided to pull the plug on the app. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh no, the horror! How will I survive without my endless scroll of cat videos and questionable dance challenges?" But seriously, this ban has sent shockwaves through the nation.


For many, TikTok wasn't just entertainment; it was a lifeline. Creators built thriving businesses, musicians launched their careers, and countless individuals found their voices and communities on the platform. Suddenly, those livelihoods are hanging by a thread. Of course, the internet being the internet, people have already flocked to "The Little Red Note Book," the Chinese app that's suddenly the hottest thing since sliced bread. And speaking of hot topics, the social media landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Facebook? Instagram? Twitter? All facing a mass exodus as users seek alternatives. It's like watching a herd of wildebeest migrate in slow motion – except instead of water, they're fleeing the social media jungle.

The 2017 Inauguration

And then, there's the inauguration. This Monday, a new chapter in American history begins (again!). The former president, you know Donald "Maga" Trump, will be sworn in for another term. He's even roped in Snoop Dogg and Nelly for the entertainment. Talk about a diverse lineup! Some folks are scratching their heads, citing Snoop Dogg's, shall we say, less than enthusiastic musical tributes from the past. Others, however, see it as a sign – a cosmic joke, perhaps? But amidst the chaos, remember the words of Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."


It's a wild ride, folks. The world is spinning, and sometimes it feels like we're just trying to keep our balance. But through it all, let's remember to keep our faith, lean on our communities, and maybe, just maybe, use this as an opportunity to reconnect with the real world.

Remember, you are not alone on this journey!

  • Take a deep breath: It might seem simple, but taking a moment to pause and breathe deeply can help calm your mind and reduce stress.
  • Practice mindfulness: Pay attention to the present moment without judgment. This can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, and reduce anxiety.  

  • Connect with nature: Spending time in nature has been shown to have numerous benefits for mental and emotional well-being. Go for a walk in the park, sit by a lake, or simply spend some time in your backyard.

    • I hope this blog post provides some entertaining and thought-provoking commentary on the current events.

     For the Love of God: God is a Girl Dad! Let's be honest, God has a soft spot for His daughters. It's undeniable. From the moment Eve stepped onto the scene, you could tell this divine father had a special plan for His girls. He's the ultimate girl dad, always cheering us on, celebrating our victories, and picking us up when we fall. Think about it: God created women with incredible strength, grace, and resilience.
