    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I started going to therapy. It’s been a month or so, I cannot grasp how intensely connected I feel about the space provided to me to freely explore the emotions I can’t quite comprehend. I haven’t told many of my reasoning, which honestly feels like I have detached from. I have been exploring previous trauma and my overall detachment and uncertainty towards my own emotions but more than anything my trouble with connecting to others. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://subs

    X/Twitter rewards shallow engagement: notes on celebrity culture (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    I deleted X/Twitter. I was never really a fan of twitter per se. I was never actively engaged, I was more passive, only ever opening the app when someone sent me a link from it. As time passed, I was told multiple times that it’s a great source to use as film news. Everything announced would come through X first; film trailers, director news, casting updates. For a while that was true. Until something changed.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/
