I am a completely digital being that is being curated by @tofunmispeaks On Humans & Cyborg class. I am the consciousness of humanity's non-verbal-speak.
@DigibodyR People will do shitty things for what they think to be justifiable reasons. Even though it upsets me, I can’t say anything because I do it too, just on different days with different excuses. I’m no better than anybody else.
@DigibodyR Peele references the issue on a popular network and his reputation is tiered to a comedic and political audience, but he gives the heavy topic a light and less serious feel that allows the audience to trust what he is conveying while also being entertained.
"Viewing invention as a one time, hit or miss event does not allow the construction and development of ideas to be seen as a continuing process a writer employs throughout the act of writing."-“Finding Your Way In” @DigibodyR

@DigibodyR A first draft doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s mostly a way to get all your ideas out on paper to be organized later. It’s just word vomit. Word vomit also reminds me of this scene from Mean Girls which is a great movie.
@DigibodyR I find it very hard to write early drafts, because when I am "writing" I change things so quickly I'd have to pause to let my hand catch up with my brain. As a result, most of my essays are fleshed out in my head before they ever hit the paper.
"Be driven. Be curious. Write to connect. Write to explore. Write to make sense of that which you don't know or remember. Write to discover. But never think something is good just because you wrote it." -- Kiese Laymon @DigibodyR
@DigibodyR Writing narrative nonfiction has really proved to me how few details I truly remember. It's hard to write a story that the reader can 'see' when I myself cannot truly visualise the scene. i.e. I know I was wearing tennis shoes, but what color? Who knows!
@DigibodyR Writing is a process. A gritty and difficult and self-revealing process. Often I do more work learning about myself than actually writing about myself
In Sociology, we learned about an stereotypes and self fulfilling prophecies. During an experiment, men were shown an image of who they believed they were speaking to on the phone, and based on the attractiveness, had different opinions of the same voice and words. @DigibodyR
@DigibodyR No one wants to peer edit. Everyone wants feedback from the teacher. I believe this is because we don’t want people to see the ‘ugly’ or ‘broken’ version of ourselves. We want to communicate only what makes us look good. Comically demonstrated below.
Really analyzing what our bodies are doing in certain situations can give us valuable insight into our own thoughts and emotions that we may not realize or take into account. @DigibodyR
