The digital world is out of control.
Is it just me or does it feel like social media got worse over the past couple weeks? Maybe just more active or contentious or something. Either way, one of the goals here is to get people out of the digital world and into the real one!
So get outside this weekend - if not in support of the artists, musicians, nonprofits, or volunteers, do it for yourself. And thanks for supporting FLX Calendar!
