Short description
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Welcome to 13 Bells, a respite from the commercial social media platforms.
Long description
"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." Thus begins, George Orwell's "1984". The expression of the clocks striking thirteen, pre-dates Orwell as an adage meaning, to ignore, reject, or discount everything that's come before, a pretty accurate representation of current events. So pull up a seat, fellow traveler. There are stories to be told.
