I Hate The "meta Glasses" With Their Invisible Cameras I Hate When People Record Strangers Just-living-their-lives

i hate the "meta glasses" with their invisible cameras i hate when people record strangers just-living-their-lives i hate the culture of "it's not illegal so it's fine". people deserve to walk around the city without some nameless freak recording their faces and putting them up on the internet. like dude you don't show your own face how's that for irony huh.

i hate those "testing strangers to see if they're friendly and kind! kindness wins! kindness pays!" clickbait recordings where overwhelmingly it is young, attractive people (largely women) who are being scouted for views and free advertising . they're making you model for them and they reap the benefits. they profit now off of testing you while you fucking exist. i do not want to be fucking tested. i hate the commodification of "kindness" like dude just give random people the money, not because they fucking smiled for it. none of the people recording has any idea about the origin of the term "emotional labor" and none of us could get them to even think about it. i did not apply for this job! and you know what! i actually super am a nice person! i still don't want to be fucking recorded!

& it's so normalized that the comments are always so fucking ignorant like wow the brunette is so evil so mean so twisted just because she didn't smile at a random guy in an intersection. god forbid any person is in hiding due to an abusive situation. no, we need to see if they'll say good morning to a stranger approaching them. i am trying to walk towards my job i am not "unkind" just because i didn't notice your fucked up "social experiment". you fucking weirdo. stop doing this.

Don't delete it! You captured a dream excellently. Before I saw it was Minecraft related, I thought it was Control fanart because the environment reminded me a lot of the liminal-brutalist setting. It radiates that surrealistic discomfort that you can only find in dreams, and I think that's wonderful.

Trust me, it's very cool art, but also you should be allowed to make art that embarrasses you or isn't up to your standards! The audience will just see a delicious slice of a dream either way.

Had a weird dream where i explored through a strange liminal spaces with a bunch of Minecraft distorted chests and an ai generated Disney style picture frames of Alex as a child, Creeper, Enderman and Steve as a baby lined on each chest

i cannot capture the pictures on the rest of the frames because i can't remember anymore so i left them blank. And yes Steve still had a beard as a baby for some reason......

Link!

she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”
