Social Media
For now I do not have much of a presence on social media. As an early adopter of the internet (including blogging, live streaming & so forth), I have decades of experience with comment sections, and clarity about the overall value they provide to users. The negative aspects of these platforms currently outweigh the positives for me. I do not anticipate being more active on social media unless I am somehow able to afford to hire a secretary/PA and social media manager.
Catfish / Fraud Warning
If someone initiates contact with you via social media or any chat or messenger app and claims to be me, THEY ARE NOT ME. I will never hit you up out of the blue for money, gifts, pics, or just to chat. Please do not fall for fraudsters who steal images of creators, make fake/imitation accounts, and pose as us. They are thieves, preying on your desire for love and attention, or your general good-heartedness.
Instagram
@pmstarr
Not much there so far; I created this profile for another blog/site. Still on the fence about it. I do not use “Threads”, nor do I plan to.
Goodreads
My current goodreads profile is private, under a pseudonym. I may create a public profile in the future, but for now I am not accepting friend requests or using goodreads for interaction.

Contact & Comments
Moderating and responding to comments, messages, and email takes time, love, energy, and protection to do ethically and with kindness. I learned the hard way it is not possible to do it all myself, so comments and email will remain closed untill/unless I am able to pay a secretary, personal assistant, and/or social media manager to moderate and help out with these jobs.

Live Video Chat / Streaming
If I’m able to carve out some time for interacting, it is likely to be via scheduled live webcam/video streams where people who really want to chat can show up and we can talk in real time. While live video chat does take a lot of energy, it is still the best way to have high quality interactions with clear boundaries that keep everyone from expending lots of time out into the ether and/or getting into unmanageably lengthy exchanges. Group chats via hosted live video streams are also the best way to know you are communicating with the person you want to communicate with. For now, anyway, before AI gets too sophisticated (and though my live broadcasts have been stolen before and employed by grifters to con people via FB messengers, whatsapp, etc: see catfish/fraud warning in red on this page).
My Other Sites & Blogs
I’m still working on getting all of my sites and blogs shiny and pretty and full of enough content to feel confident in showing them to you. Soon, I hope!
