    MFW maybe this means I have to go and shoot to achieve my dream of making a nerdy social media platform where I just gush about my interests…because “falling back” is now even more unrealistic thanks to my “unemployable” branding.

      It truly is fucked up that even your so-called private life has to be part of your resume now: you need to show how normal in a techbro acceptable way you are in your selfies (you take selfies, don’t you? DON’T YOU?) and have to create a “story” binding them all together or else.

        Looking back as an adult…as much as I hate to admit it since I consider myself a nerd: the jocks were right about the nerds, but for the wrong reasons.
