All the Twitter engagement is nice, but “if I win the lottery, I'm out. I'm bouncing.”
, and let me tell you how life-changing that has been. Not giving all of the advice in the world out via Twitter threads and instead giving it directly to people who actually follow me, it’s something that I’m way more careful about now. I paywall a lot of it, and that helps the experience because I can focus on more lighthearted things that will still occasionally go viral and get weird comments.
If I return the same energy back to you, people will call me a bully because I have over 100,000 followers. But you feel entitled to call me everything but a child of God because I said it’s fine to thrift and you should own less stuff. I think a part of this component is that for all three of us, we’re not saying anything that’s particularly radical.I have never felt like absolute power doesn’t absolutely corrupt on the internet. I have been in quite a few spaces where you think everyone is aligned, and then it turns into a brutal bloodbath. Oftentimes I would talk people down from this righteous anger, then I would be like, “So don’t cuss people out you don’t know,” and then they’d be like, “Yeah, you’re right.
On the upside, I think people can definitely find spaces to dig in a little bit deeper and feel validated. I credit the internet with giving me the ability to talk about race and racism, because I grew up in a predominantly white area. Up until I was probably in my mid-20s, I felt like I was existing in spaces where I couldn’t really be my full self.
