The Chronicles of Piercing Ken Is On Threads from Instagram

So I’ve actually just talked about this over on the PiercingMetal website (seen HERE) and since “The Chronicles” also has a very busy existence in the social media space I figured a post over on this side of the creative fence was in order. Now in case you haven’t heard this news yet, it seems that the folks at Meta, which is the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram have determined that we need yet another social media application to use and have announced the launch of “Threads from Instagram”. This seems to be the Meta response to Twitter and I imagine can be used in the same fashion. The account for “The Chronicles” got created right from my current Instagram profile and uses the same exact handle. The only downside for me is that I wasn’t able to do this as Ken Pierce Media because lately I am making any new networks to be the editorial overseer presence as opposed to either side of the coin. It’s worked for things like TikTok very well so why not continue the trend. My first post to Threads is below and as I mentioned on the other post, one cannot embed these items.

Greetings my friends and I hope that this broadcast doesn’t find you having what they call a “Manic Monday” (queue the hit by The Bangles if you must). The weather outside is rather nice with the skies being clear and a moderate temperature that might find you only needing a hoodie and a baseball cap but hey I am not here to be the weatherman I am here instead to share some pretty awesome news. Today marks the 13th Anniversary of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” Lifestyle Blog. We’ve even got a new birthday logo to use going forward thanks to our stalwart Art Director Joe Kaufman. Now many still refer to this as “Piercing Ken” based on its wealth of social media profiles and that is fine by me at this point in our history. I’m happy to report that the publishing regimen is pretty regular and as the world moves further away from the pandemic times and gets more back to what we used to experience during the Before Times I’ve tried to expand on the level of coverage and news items. So, thirteen years whew! Let’s briefly discuss.
