this week in my internet

karaj:

  • was asked by a friend to explain feminist narcissism and said that i can’t. she asked me what i do in conferences and i said i don’t talk about it in conferences, only on tumblr. 
  • was introduced to someone while standing outside of tisch who immediately said “i read your tumblr.” it took me a second to realize she recognized me because i post so many pictures. i asked if i read hers and she said no, she doesn’t have one: too much self-exposure. she also thanked me for writing about feminist narcissism. i said i was about to post a really good apropos quote from kate zambreno’s heroines, “which i’ve been reading…but i guess maybe you know that.” 
  • read a post about flow and thought about how shitty mine has been. but i’m also conflicted about the idea. 
  • read a post about timing and thought that this has been problematic, too. 
  • read a post about how the internet privileges sight and sound and disagreed. 
  • was at a party at which it was pointed out that the eight people standing there were all “from the internet.” 
  • was emailed by the two women i really liked from the digital humanities conference. 
  • thought about how i still find branding to be loathsome, it’s just for you, it’s about the consolidation of identity, but creating an ambiance is not, it’s for everybody.

  3. cedars said: I really like “from the internet” as a concept. I went to a conference in May on bodies & technology and met all sorts of people from the internet, where that was a stronger description of identity than what school/discipline/region we came from.
