Ok so I’m 50 years old and true confession time: I love TikTok. That’s right. I love it.
15 second bursts of creativity from regular old folks all over the world. What’s not to love?
If I wanted to connect TikTok to some concept related to large-scale change I totally could. Virality. The science of memetics. The importance of people being able to make things their own. But you know what? It’s a gorgeous afternoon here in sunny Southern California, so I’m just wanted to invite us to be ticktok friends.
Have a great weekend and you’re welcome!
Love,
Becky
