yea, the Twitter algorithm does more to make sure you see your own network
it'll all be okay ❤️
aw, glad you read it. That was a nerve-wracking essay to post.
living in dense community has not solved all my problems... if anything, I have more problems than ever.

I feel my college-self [curious, ambitious, uncertain] coming out again for the first time since I left home.

I am once again happily lost in a society that is too complex for me to understand.

🔸 go through the replies and talk with people about the stuff you're both interested in!
our optimism and hope for a better future can devolve so quickly when we fight with strangers for (social) territory.

it's never too late to refocus on what you love and share that with those around you. It's never too late.
this is what respected elders and a public commons are normally for.

that there are entire cultures where from the "elders" all the way down to the common people it's considered morally acceptable to bully others is... something.
can i just step in here to ask, in a moment of relative chill before whatever next week brings, that we

- not make death threats
- block more, bully less
