This is fascinating. I actually live in Prince Edward County, Ontario. And unfortunately, living in a rural community means that Facebook is important due to the locally moderated groups. It’s how people share local news, events and happenings. So, is Facebook dead if you live in a big city? Yes. But what about the people who don’t. They’re stuck on there because that’s where their IRL community is too. And they’ve come to rely on it. I hope I run into Margaret Haylock-Capon one day.

Sweet! I grew up there. Left 13 years ago but still go back a few times a year. :)

Chicken's Magazine! An elderly horse and donkey! Drama surrounding a Silkie chicken's gender! Cuddling with cats! Bed by 9 PM! Margaret Haylock-Capon's life sounds ... amazing?!

Very cool story! I'm sad that editor straight up ghosted you after commissioning the piece... But glad I got to read it here!
