I love all this shit, don't get me wrong, it's just inherently surreal and comical to navigate identity and experience in late surveillance capitalism

(sitting in a class of like ten other 2nd graders while a fundamentalist teacher in a jean dress tries to convince us it's not pronounced 'cousint') Someday I'm gonna be able to leverage this for such hyperniche social media cred

Writing a bio as a player of Appalachian music is so funny because on the page I have to talk about how magical it was to be surrounded by music since I came out of the womb and the subtext is basically like "oohhh look how blessed I am, I didn't have access to health care"

Tell me about some art/music/writing etc you’ve been enjoying this weekend. Feel free to tag the artist if they’re on here! Things in the world are bad but art is still very cool and good and gives me a lot of hope for humanity

(If you post AI slop that’s an instant block 😘)

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

I grew up among fundamentalist baptists and I relate heavily with this thread. I think about this question all the time, and feel torn between knowing the value and truth of this perspective and feeling like all the bullshit has already absorbed so much of my life.

You should fund @blackskyweb.xyz, even if you don't plan on using their services, because there's a high likelihood that a social platform you use in the future will utilize their work or at least be inspired by it

I’m quoted in here, talking about hiring scams. I hope it can help job seekers be more aware of scams, so they can protect themselves.
