Today's Best Index Cards About Sharing Stuff on Social Media
I'm taking a social-media break and had some thoughts on how weird it is that so much of my headspace, and so much of the stuff I jot and share fairly regularly on social media, lives in a space that is not actually mine, is really mostly out of my control, and yet feels super personal in a way that is maybe not super comfortable.
(The cards above are like a baby version of the much better, much more precise ideas articulated in Sofia Samatar's Why You Left Social Media)
Social Media Off Social Media
I'm taking a social media break, but I love to doodle, and I love to post stuff, so I'm back to posting things here, for a while.
