I just finished reading this, while sitting alone at a ramen bar (cos this is the 2nd time I’ve walked past and felt pulled, so I followed the craving/response). I’m so happy you’ve written the words out of your head that we first encountered during that backyard chat together. Not to mention this revealed so many more layers, fucking sexy intellectual layers that remind me your like a real journalist. Get this girl a magazine already! The white lotus bit, the human design stuff. Obsessed to be blessed with your insights once again.
hi! I popped over from Emmie's substack and wow i'm glad i did. we grew up during the same digital era (i remember nigahiga videos with a fond nostalgic smile), and this was such a beautiful tribute to it. Internet kids forever <3
What if... what if it’s neither white nor black... what if it’s gray and the shade we lean into it’s something we’re responsible for. We get to choose what we consume and we get to choose how we express ourselves to the world. What a privilege.
What the way, this said by someone who has had a constant fight with social media in the last 2-3 years 😂 dealing with the unavoidable trauma of not knowing how to handle projections and at the same time having no choice but to blow them.
totally feel this! its like a practice for me, as a 5th line, to be like - "this isn't mine. what I put out on the internet can be interpreted in many ways that has nothing to do with me." Indeed, it is such a privilege when we take ownership of what we consume and how we express ourselves!
