Is social media dying? I think in a lot of ways, the answer is yes. TikTok changed the game, leaving other giants like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter rushing to catch up.

Sometimes I still like to log on and scroll through all my boards and remember the person I was when I made them.
One of my absolute favorite boards is Silly Stuff -- harmless jokes and funny things found online that make me laugh. If Pinterest goes away, I don't want to lose all that. So, I'm going to start reposting them here and here's part 1 of my pirated pins that make me laugh:
