In 2026, almost everybody has tattoos in this industry no matter their race or gender, and those who don't are casted into "Mormon" or "Purity" niches. @LexSteele11 fits your other criteria. Hope that helps.
Deactivating social media made me realise just how invisible I can be to people. No one calls. No one texts to check on me. No one seems to notice that I’ve gone quiet or wonder where I’ve been. It’s as if the moment I stopped showing up on their screens, I slowly stopped existing in their minds too. And there’s something deeply painful about realising how many connections seem to depend on your online presence. You can spend so much time interacting with people, watching their lives, keeping up with their updates and assuming you’re part of each other’s worlds, only to step away and realise how little effort some people make to maintain that connection outside of social media. It makes you wonder how many people genuinely think about you when you’re not constantly reminding them that you exist. How many would reach out simply because they miss you, want to hear your voice or care enough to ask how you’ve been. I know people get busy and silence doesn’t always mean someone doesn’t care. But it still hurts when you realise that if you stopped making yourself visible, you might stop hearing from people altogether. Disappearing from social media teaches you who remembers you when there’s nothing on their screen reminding them that you exist.

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer?
Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours.
So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3
You do you, Mike. Something's fishy about the Cornell incident, but I'd rather wait until everything is said and done, first. I wouldn't want to get myself in a situation where I have to back out of industry events because I can't be an adult about mental triggers like this.
"Rule #1 is: STFU retard." Got it. The best advice from the worst enemy of industry predators, when it comes to discussing sex crimes or allegations inside the industry, is to shut up and eat shit. Thanks for the grown up advice, champion of SWer justice.
@TeaPainUSA And the worst thing about it is that you'll never know if it happened to you unless you use an account that doesn't either follow your or you follow.
