Really nice to sit with these short essays—I like the format! (I also like LCD Soundsystem.)
"But it does seem like there’s worth in acknowledging the power you have over your own digital footprint, and using it to promote deserving causes and preserve the dignity of others."
It's interesting: I think about how some people refer to their social media accounts as "platforms," which says a lot about power and much less about introspection; whereas thinking about your online self as one that walks and leaves things in its wake feels all the more tactile. Obvious thing to say, but it's on my mind now.
