one of my besties got a film camera and was testing it out on my friends and i when we were hanging out. sent us the developed scans later and now this is my pfp everywhere. don’t even have this haircut anymore but i’m obsessed with the pic.

they had their frame rate (ISO? idk the term) too low and it let in all this fun motion blur in the lights that makes the photo of me seem really ethereal. in reality i was just standing with some friends in a circle at a bar in midtown nashville smiling to myself with my ear plugs in. i feel like it really caught my vibe in a cool way tho so its my profile photo for a lot of things now

a treatise on the attention economy - checked it out on libby and got through it over the course of a work day, a lot of really interesting social and cultural explorations about how time itself is the final frontier of hypercapitalism and what decommodification of our attention and time should look like
the book starts with a story about the oldest redwood tree in oakland and how the only reason it’s still standing is bc it’s unmillable, and how being uncommercializable is essential to our survival. it ends with an exploration of alt social media platforms (mostly p2p ones) and what keeping the good parts of the social internet and rejecting the bad ones should look like
all in all a super valuable read; my only nitpick with the book is that odell isn’t just charting the attention economy but also attempting to “solve” it and relate it back to broader concepts about labor and social organizing, but her background is in the arts which leads to some really wonderful references to drive the points home while also missing some critical racial + socioeconomic analyses that one would expect (or at least really appreciate) from the book she promises to deliver in the introduction. but this does also make the book easier to read which is good because everyone should definitely engage with what she has to say
will definitely be revisiting
