Iāve been trying to wear like actual clothes around the house lately because i like to keep the curtains open at my big picture window which faces the street. I ran out of easy lazy outfits so I wore:
* vintage Canned Heat World Boogie Tour T-shirt (it was my momās best friendās shirt and itās one of the only T-shirts I own and wearā¦ pictured is a picture I found of it on poshmark but itās not mine I was too lazy to take a picture lolā¦)
* 7 for All Mankind high waisted olive green crepey skinny pants with elasticated waist and ankles? I donāt know how to describe these they are not quite a jogger but theyāre very comfortable cute and easy to move around in

chronic issues be flaring but i did have to put on shoes and leave the house briefly so instead of my usual sick day joggers and flowy shirts:
ā¢ levi denizen jeans that used to be black but are now dark grey, holes at the knees (not originally) and tiny holes all over the seams at the inner thighs and butt pocketsā¦ but i cAnNoT throw them out bc theyāre literally the comfiest pants i own that arenāt sweatpants (please Target please please PLEASE stock these again š©š)
ā¢ slightly oversized tshirt (to cover aforementioned holes on jean seams), dark purple, from a 2017 conference i did not attend but itās comfy and doesnāt show too much nip for comfort when going braless
ā¢ thanksgiving ankle socks š¤·š»āāļø

- Cargo pants of lightweight denim ā double knees, 10 pockets, four loops. Light enough to wear in the summer and baggy enough to be warm in the winter. The easiest thing in my wardrobe to reach for.
- Beat up Cradle of Filth t ā extremely lewd. Perfect for every day.
- Terrycloth hoodie with unzippable components. No hood? Yes. No sleeves? Yes. Sheās almost as old as me!
- Oversized cotton flannel made from several old flannels (all of them zip apart). An extra layer for all occasions.
- Tabi boots (unfortunately). They are poorly constructed and donāt stay done up, but I can walk 15 km in them without pain and theyāre just so much fun! My day off shoe.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š

Iāve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapidāa critique often rooted in misogynyābut now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretationāpreconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your imageāselfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that thereās another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itās refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, Iāve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalāsomething that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. Iāve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? Itās a question worth considering.
