at some point i stopped being interested in sites where everyone has A Take about whatever they view as the issue of the day. quote tweets and performative outrage feel so hollow to me, but also like such a catastrophic waste of time. i used to think the knowledge that the world is messed up was valuable and useful on its own. lately it seems more like the knowledge drains and damages me with little benefit
whenever i think of making a post these days i ask myself if i’d be adding anything to the conversation or if i’d just be constructing a public persona… i don’t post very often as a result
but i also miss the sort of connections and easy socialization that comes with social media… i made a lotta friends off twitter and i mourn losing that sort of thing. i dunno. i dunno
