This was intentionally manufactured by Facebook. Facebook implemented it’s “accountability culture” starting with its rule about only using your real name and photo on its service and encouraging you to disclose other information in your profile, and from there it just got normalized. It was entirely to gather data for advertising purposes, but now we associate that level of openness with “accountability”. Entire generations are now being raised with this as the norm. Privacy is no longer a priority, or even really seen as an option.
This is to your detriment. Your privacy protects you from predators of all kinds. You really should be guarding it carefully. Disclose what you feel is important on a case by case basis, but even your mental health status and beliefs are exploitable by big business and small-time bullies and abusers alike.
Even if you’re not overly fussed about what people know about you, just understand that not everyone has the luxury of feeling the same. Some people have stalkers and abusers they’re trying to evade, or don’t want to attract new abusers into their lives by being that vulnerable and open again. Some people have extreme social anxiety. Some people are protecting other people in their lives. Some people just don’t want their grandmothers to find their smutfics. Some people are Internet privacy advocates who keep their details private as a political statement and as a matter of principle.
You are not entitled to anyone’s information, and you do not owe anyone yours. You are allowed to just be an anonymous username until you feel safe to disclose more.
I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!
FREE ONLINE COURSES (here are listed websites that provide huge variety of courses)
Please feel free to add more learning focused websites.
*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.
start taking more photos of anything and everything. something on the street that caught your eye, your bedroom vanity, hands on the subway, sunsets, an object that stood out, a house you find beautiful, a picture of the road from inside of the car... really any photo from your point of view in a moment you want to remember. i was going through my camera roll today and saw so many nonchalant photos of very random things, but i remember exactly who i was with and how i felt in the moment the photo was taken. it was special. and truly candid. my intention was not to make the photo look pretty but to really capture the world that was surrounding me in that exact second. when i look back on those photos, i'm brought back into the memory, because i see what i saw when the memory was made.
One of my favorite past times (that I rarely indulge in) is roller skating. It reminds me of my childhood. This morning, I headed over to the tennis court and rolled until my heart (and my shins) were content. What connects you to your inner child?
Was Beyoncé attractive, sexy even? To be sure. But more than anything, she was powerful. Few things are more threatening to a male audience than a beautiful, powerful woman who doesn’t need a man, or even a male gaze.
Perhaps folk didn’t consciously notice there wasn’t a single male performer on stage. But for those few minutes, there were no male voices and no male bodies in control, only women who refused to be owned. And it wasn’t women just dancing up there, though the cameras largely focused on that. The women onstage were creating, everything. They appropriated traditional male images and transformed them female ones — not women just imitating men. They were claiming roles and instruments traditionally held by men: the horns and saxophones, the pyrotechnic guitar solo.
They were fierce, but refused to be masculinized or objectified.
I feel like I was born in the wrong era of science. In the past, science was alchemy, astrology, magic, religion, and philosophy. It was a quest for knowledge and curiosities about the world, physical and meta. We could experiment and learn and explore. Now, science is just facts and data: emotionless and cold. We don't get to explore the same way we did, we can't connect the physical to the spiritual anymore without being criticized, the results are more important than the journey.. I just want to experiment and learn without necessarily getting polished correct results. Modern day STEM just isn't intimate enough.
