Creators

✨Self Promotion Saturday✨

Reply with your latest creation, something you're proud of, or whatever else you're trying to get some eyeballs on!

It's Saturday baby so we've got time to explore all the cool ish our little creator corner of the universe is putting out into the void during the week 🫡

words

Were you thinking that those were the words, those upright lines? those curves, angles, and dots?

No, those are not the words, the substantial words are in the ground and sea,

They are in the air, they are in you.

i'm building /seemore and this week we shipped some much requested page editor improvements, improved how we ingest content from the legacy social platforms, and...

finished deploying the infrastructure for a launch on Monday 👀

I was chatting with a MLB trainer last night. Loved this quote:

“Every player thinks they should be developed. No team wants to develop a player. They want sure things. Undeniable players. You need to show you’re developing yourself AND that you’re a sure-thing.”

Applies to a lot of pursuits!

Feedback Friday!

Does something feel off about what you're working on right now?
Did a recent post flop hard?
Or maybe you just want a second opinion... 

Ask for help in the replies below (the more specific + tangible the better) and the /creators hivemind will swarm to support you 🫡

New Ritual for /okbanger 🫨

Did you meet your intentions this week?

Big, small, personal, professional... all intentions welcome!

We're here to celebrate each others' wins 🫡

someday i hope i’m as funny as an account that makes a single banger comment on a YouTube video and never posts again

politics

Thank you for your thoughts. I validate your experience. However, I might suggest that it’s important to understand prose more broadly.

To the Wall Street Journal, the DNC and Kamala voters are “the left.” To CNBC, they are “the left.” Their framing has power, and is the starting place for most discursive eyeballs who would join any movement. 

The contextual read of my words is that “Tay is using the master’s framing for an audience that primarily understands the master’s tools”— aka I’m not talking to you. I am not, to paraphrase Audre Lorde, using the master’s tools to dismantle the master’s house in this specific instance. I’m talking to it.

Code switching is real. Meaning is not absolute. If I carry the logic of your aghast consternation to its logical conclusion, “colored people” would mean “people of color.” You and I both know that’s not true.

Likewise “the left” isn’t some absolute and dogmatic literalism for “gotcha” dunks divorced from context.
