While driving along Highway 101 I saw a sign with a bicycle on it that said “Share the Road.”
I thought this a nice sentiment because we can all be cars on the road and muscle our way past, even brush by the handlebars of the vulnerable cyclist, or we can share the road.
No matter your craft, social media has turned into, in many ways, a self-promotion machine. You know who those people are who seem to only spout out about themselves, link to their own work, complain about this and that without paying attention to the ecosystem they’re in.
They’re not sharing the road and would do us all a lot of good if we didn’t bully our way into people’s attention, but engage and celebrate those in our circle.
