Just let it wash over you. I regularly discover new posts I’ve made that are the second to top or top google search result on random things like my favorite Lil B tweet or To Absence by W.S. Merwin and find new things to be embarrassed about every day

Bring back fake social media names & info
literally 15 years ago as a kid I was always told to use fake names on the internet to protect my privacy and identity bc your digital footprint can get big VERY quick. As an adult I had a weird cyberstalking situation happen to me and it had me rly reflective on my digital footprint; thank god it’s over, but believe me when I say we don’t need more randos being able to do a google search, and easily be able to find out what city ur in/who you work for/who your friends are

periodically googling yourself
Hear me out.
Many of us have gleefully chuckled at Timothée Chalamet’s pre-fame YouTube vids, but there’s a lesson in them. His seemingly harmless digital footprint has followed him for years and there’s much fodder in it for us to paw through!
I’ve been on a mission to reclaim and tamp down my online footprint for years and one way to measure my progress is to periodically type my name into the old search bar. I was delighted to see books I worked on, articles I’m quoted in, my website, a few obits, and little else. Given that I once had multiple blogs, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, MySpace, and Twitter, it was a relief to feel like I have a more nuanced and controlled image / narrative of my online self.
Yeah it’s a little navelgazey, but I’m on the job market and in my 30s, so it makes sense to be on top of this stuff.

USING TEXT AS THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION WITH A LOVE INTEREST
No I don’t want your socials. I don’t want to know when you’re active and not replying, I don’t want to know when you’re posting stories or who you’re following. I don’t wanna know. Tell me in person, when we go on a date. I want you at complete face value with zero pre conceptions.
