When culture becomes commodity, am I any different? (opens the original)

I haven’t shared any watercolor sketches with you lately. Sometimes I’ll post them on Notes, but if I’m being honest, it’s almost always to placate the algorithm just enough so I’m not dropped into a black hole from the feed. The sketches that have gotten the most engagement are almost always of New York. I’m not surprised. The city has this magnetism and energy that can make everything feel alive.

The paradox of watching your world come crashing down is the strange and unexpected calm that emerges after enough soul searching. Clarity can bring calmness, but it can also bring pain.

Somehow, in the last few weeks, I’ve ended up on the $20,000 luxury-dorm-room-reveal side of social media. Upholstered headboards, window treatments, ancillary seating areas cramped in between two highly lofted beds covered in frills with ruffled bed skirts and coordinated throw pillows galore. I’m not even on TikTok, but the viral videos have made their way onto Threads. Does the algorithm even know me? Or maybe it’s working as intended.
