It's amazing to me how so many people spend so much time on Facebook and Twitter to say nothing at all. Okay, maybe it's not nothing. It's certainly something to them. Their brand seems to be about being the biggest baddest, bossiest bitch. No regard is given to spelling, grammar or syntax. The feminine energy is all askew. Who takes these chicks as seriously as they take themselves?
The Flatland Diva is mindful of what a powerful platform the internet has afforded her and her people. Everyday people can indiscriminately connect to thousands of strangers from around the world and can literally bring them into their homes and into their lives. What an awesome tool social networking can be for change. We've seen this in the Arab Spring. People rising up against tyranny and exploitation with virtual force to topple arcane despots.
So, what do Egyptians have to do with Jonita, screenname @Dat_C8zy_Hoe? Where Egyptian students used Twitter to unify behind a cause, she uses the tool to alienate herself to a matter of body parts. She becomes complicit with her own degradation. Sarcasm is her BFF and after dark she is offering all types of goodies in cyberspace. I follow some of these girls and they follow me back. I hope I can be an influence. The Flatland Diva always wants to use her powers for good.
