I was put on this wee earth to tell my wee stories.

Sometimes to make ppl giggle. Sometimes to help ppl make better choices. The goal is both, of course.

I love reading about it. It’s so fascinating how many cultures have it.

Bc what do you mean your husband left you and the kids because of magic and evil eye??

Bc what do you really mean when you believe nothing bad can happen to you unless someone hates you?

Bc what do you meaaaaan that you don’t trust to tell your closest family and friends anything positive

One day I’m gonna do a project on the evil eye because it’s such a fascinating cultural concept.

It says so much about gendered anxieties, and perceived agency.

I illustrated a single hot man and it took everything I had in me

What’s the beef there?

Who are the musicians? I’ve only barely heard the Charlie xcx stuff

Sara Alfageeh @saraalfageeh.bsky.social · 3d

I’ve never been tuned in until TikTok decided to start putting videos in front of me. I wanted to hear if swifities were actual not into it, bc if someone already hate this music their review doesn’t mean much.

Someone explain the renewed wave of Taylor Swift hate to me. I don’t go here, I’m just nosy.

Are these long time TS haters who just have new album to rip apart?

Or are these TS fans genuinely underwhelmed?

I’m at the marketplace of ideas, these are my wares.

Because if the goal is fantasy, escapism, and endless attention…no AI chat bot is going to get mad when you keep dodging FaceTime calls and meeting up

Do you think the AI Chatbot renaissance is killing the online catfish industry?

And I’m not talking about romance scammers, I mean the real classic, for the love of the game catfishing.

It was a FANTAAAASTIC exhibit

Anyone who knows me, knows my aversion to neutral colors. This was college lecturer cosplay yall.

I’m gonna start dying the 3 strands of hair that stick out of my hijab grey

Went with my comic students on a trip a manga exhibit. Wore my most professor ass outfit I owned. Like this shirt had performative elbow patches.

Was still mistaken for one of my FRESHMAN students. Twice. 😭😭😭

I had a dream that was literally just the first episode of the new avatar series, ending credits and all

22 straight minutes with a couple ad breaks, because even in my dreams I’m picking the cheapest streaming option

Was stuck video editing at the office until 8pm. While things rendered, I doodled.

….there was a theme.

I have played Marvel Rivals every Monday for the past calendar year and I have neither gotten any better at this game or really enjoyed it that much more

But this is what you gotta do to wrangle men in their 30s on to a weekly phone call

I don’t remember how to download pirated pdfs of comics off the internet anymore, but also none of my students know how to put together a pdf so we’re truly at a stand off

Sara Alfageeh @saraalfageeh.bsky.social · 13d

Honestly after I really sat with it, it reminded me of an endearing voice note I would get from a friend. I’m not that different when I’m on the phone with my own co-author.

Sara Alfageeh @saraalfageeh.bsky.social · 13d

The internet doesn’t feel too good right now, but I must be optimistic that we will find a way through this endless scroll of this commercialist, alarmist, seething beast.

We made this place to connect with each other and by god we will find a way to do so again.

As someone who does social media marketing for a living let me be the first to tell you, the current state of socials will kill you.
