Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, oh my!

eta: One of the major bonuses of Instagram, and Twitter probably too, is the chance of stumbling over something or someone really interesting just by chance.

haha, excellent excuse for surfing the web as I have ever heard.

This may amuse some of you so I'm spreading the word: a couple of days ago a friend of mine and I were griping about body fixation and pictures of perfect bodies everywhere in ads and the media, and the unperfect, "real body" movement too, actually. We pretty much agreed that when it came to people we actually looked up to and were interested in, how their bodies *looked* was probably the most uninteresting side of them. About as uninteresting as, say, our socks.

So we agreed to a very very small protest movement. On Instagram for a week or so we'll be posting really boring pictures, probably socks, tagged #****perfectbody and #bpotd (boring picture of the day). Feel free to join us :-D

(Pardon our language, we weren't thinking it would go beyond our Instagram followers).

eta: Yup, it got starred out. Well, it's the fourletter word that begins with f and ends with a k.

Sounds like a great social media share, lph. Anti-perfect body, etc.

I'm always amazed how some bloggers don't know what to write about. Honest, a squirrel is boring to probably many North Americans, but our variety of squirrels doesn't exist world-wide. Even cycling socks is a real novelty in other social circles. Not that I want to spend more reading about sock experiences/reviews.

I actually don't read blogger cycling diaries. I prefer the blogger choose a topic and write it in a captivating way. Twitter doesn't offer this at all. Facebook?
