Words are really honest presences. They always show what’s going on. Show me the words you use and I’ll have a fair ideas of what’s happening or not happening with you.

"To resist in place is to make oneself into a shape that cannot so easily be appropriated by a capitalist value system."
— Jenny Odell, How To Do Nothing
“Enshittification” of social media / new platforms in general. Things start really good, get mediocre or even straight-up bad, but rarely bad enough to leave (i.e. Airbnb, Instagram). Also! Respect the medium—make something for the medium, rather than repurpose.
