Nicki J Markus

I've been a bit here-again-gone-again on X because I am really up in the air over the platform. I find it a bit negative these days, and my feed is full of stuff I don't want to see, not people I am following, so whenever I log on I end up leaving in a bad mood. 1/3

In conclusion, you may see me here a bit, but it's likely to be sporadic, so if you want to catch *all* my reviews and other content, your best bet is to follow me on Instagram (same tag as here) or check out my blog: nickijmarkus.blogspot.com 3/3

However, I did used to like it, back in the early Twitter days, and there are some accounts I still want to look at sometimes, so I've not been able to bring myself to delete, even though I've thought about doing so many times lately. 2/3
