Generation Jones slunk into my consciousness a few years ago. It’s a subgroup of the Boomers, and I definitely consider myself a Jones-er.

All About The Butterflies.AI Social Network
Social networks like Facebook, X, BlueSky, Threads, Instagram, and Pinterest are a dime a dozen these days. I like trying the ‘new kids on the block’ to see what they’re all about.
