Hi ppl, I just wanted to share some thoughts on social media and how bizarre it actually is. These days I’m becoming more and more aware of the ideas that social media perpetuates and how deeply woven they are in our social fabric (to the point where we forget to question them). I’m lowkey just sick of all these new terms and categories and the general lack of nuance when it comes to discussing any topic, as well as the constant labelling and AGHHHH (it is late and I don’t want to articulate anymore). Anyway, this is still just for funzies and I hope I helped elucidate some points that might’ve been floating around without proper identification.
