ok i think what gets me about the kind of post that's like '[children's media] has child soldiers, where are their parents!!' is that those stories really and truly aren't for people who'll think about that, they're for the people the children's age, who don't, for the most part, want to be kept safe or told they're too young to participate in the world, they want to be given a sword

fuck yeahhh

social media has irrevocably changed our perception of public/private lives, and with it, our perception of boundaries both personal and public. i use social media minimally, primarily as a content consumer, not as a content creator, but even so, i have become increasingly aware of the inescapable and uncontrollable nature of it. in a sea of billions i am no one, and yet, i am not unseen.

our real life communities range from a few dozens to a few hundreds, the people we see day to day in the course of work, school, social gatherings, and family events. i am known to these people. i am seen. and with social media, i am shared.

aspects of my life that would have struggled to appear in a rumor mill a few decades ago are now readily available for consumption on the socials of my family, friends, and community. a photo here. a video there. a text post. a tag.

we live in a world where our every waking moment could be broadcast to an audience at anytime without our knowledge, intentionally or accidentally.

an ex angling for an incriminating shot. a stranger filming a tiktok who happens to catch you doing dumb/funny/incriminating shit. an unflattering photo at your cousin’s wedding. a school project made for a grade and passed around the community facebook for laughs.

nothing is sacred. nothing is private.

we are, increasingly, a society of voyeurs.

the good news, is that we don’t have to be. we cannot control what the people around us do, but we can unplug from the vicious cycle.

we don’t have to share content containing others without their consent.

we can choose to advocate for our right not to be shared without our consent.

we can set boundaries about what we are and are not comfortable sharing with the public.

we can cut people out of our lives who refuse to respect our boundaries. you are not a content mine. you are a person and you deserve privacy and respect.

demand that respect for yourself, and advocate for that respect to be given to others.

and lastly, don’t forget to cultivate that private life. this isn’t a movie. your life is what you make it, not what you post about it.

completely untested theory but

i think social media not only has eroded ideas of privacy (”if you have nothing to hide why do you care?”), but in a much more harmful way it promotes the notion that there should be no difference between public thoughts and private behaviour. But this is totally bogus because people behave differently according to different situations, and this isn’t being “fake”, it’s just what navigating social situations in a proficient manner is like. 

The way I behave with my friends and my family, the way I behave in private, is not for public consumption. Nor should it be. Publicness is a matter of choice, it shouldn’t be mandatory. People are not entitled to anyone’s private thoughts on anything. People have a right to decide what they wish to show in public and what they wish to hide.

Guess who’s been watching Atlantis, the lost empire….and bc I wish she got a better ending I decided to give Helga an alternative universe design where she survives.

most damaging idea of the 21st century: the conviction of vast numbers of people that human history will end within our lifetimes

climate change represents world-altering tragedy if unchecked, but not even in the worst-case scenario does it mean “literally everyone dies”

yet so many people have jumped already to “it’s over, the world is going to end, we can do nothing about it” and are just paralyzingly cynical. How do I explain that the power to imagine a future is essential for creating it

The Gravel Institute has a great video on what makes cryptocurrency less of a currency as it functions today and more of a ponzi scheme:
