are you aware of stuff lately?

It’s just so much faster to say it that way, it’s too late

“The world” is soooooooooo shitty

No need to interact with it

posted this on 77, so here's my single ration for non-77 posting of it:

it's long, but if you watch it all, it will connect to this thread and you will be in antifa

trying to keep my focus on staying aware of medium/long-term important stuff i care about while minimizing my awareness of the daily/weekly media cycle of freaking out about stuff, not particularly successfully

Just realized I’m unaware of who won the super bowl this year, which I guess I’m usually not aware of this for very long or at all in any given year, but it’s nice to not be aware of it. I think maybe it was Tom Brady but it could’ve been not Tom Brady. Anyway he’s not a Patriot anymore he plays for like St Petersburg or something. Tampa? I don’t know.

I don’t know who won big at Oscar, or even what movies were nominated for Oscar.

I don't even have an Oscar.

I'm often not even aware of what friends and fam are up to let alone things in the world, because covid rendered me an agoraphobic hermit who has lost the ability to give a shit about anything going on anywhere.

I'll be one of those people found dead in my room 6 months after it happened because nobody noticed.

I live in Florida and I stopped paying attention to the news more or less when it became a certainty that COVID was sticking around and nobody in government gave a fuck.

Also my attention up until recently had been commanded by Instagram and my algorithm is so fucked that I was absorbed mostly with the cycle of reels that permeate my feed and not getting any actual updates from my friends. Even when I did it was like an obsession and totally non-nourishing for my brain so I’m taking a break. Memes were practically my only source of news.

I do feel like I’m uninformed and basically living under a rock but I think a lot of that has to do with comparing myself against others and how they seem to know a whole lot about everything. I also recently started taking adhd medication so maybe I’ve just been too scatterbrained to pay attention.

there's a lot of noise out there. people who seem like they know a whole lot about everything usually regurgitate a lot of the noise ime.

instagram is god-awful it's true

Don’t go on Twitter anymore and I’m aware of less stuff than ever, love it!

yeah ever since I quit it cold turkey i've been a lot happier. think the last five times I looked at it i was just looking at Miami Dolphins injury reports
