"Blurring the boundaries between living and consuming in this way transfigures every part of our lives — the tragedy, the hardship, the joy — into something to be watched and commented upon. Imitated but never empathized with." "We are not in a garden like I am in my dreams. We are in a place where entertainment has become the living and those human qualities that were once beyond commodification — attention, creativity, empathy, to name a few — are now capital." a very good essay on the trouble with content and becoming it in this situation we've ended up with. it's important to be aware of who actually benefits the most from such systems so we don't lose ourselves in the process https://internetbedroom.substack.com/p/against-content

This post made me realize we're living (digitally) in an apocalyptic world. We just gotta sit this shit out and wait to see what's on the other side. Hopefully we'll build back better but who the hell knows. These lil' gardens we have in our silos are all we've got to stay sane.

if u couple this with the essay i shared yesterday and the idea that our tools end up shaping us, then irl is not that far behind in this degradation (╥_╥) i think the upcoming election feels more and more to me like a referendum on whether we want to wade deeper into the apocalypse – whether the general population want to maintain some semblance of civility or just go full-on pvp purge mode
