Yeah you know, as the #20 all time user on this app, it feels like I can’t go outside anymore without being bombarded by fans 😔 they go “are…are you the guy who gave us permission to wear long sleeve tops with shorts?” or “are you the guy that took the infamous Brooklyn pi.fyi meetup pic from an angle only a boomer dad would?” or “are you the dude who responds to clothing-related asks like Batman does to the bat signal?” 😔 I’m just a normal guy, I’m entirely unsure how to handle the weight that comes with fame 😔 and before you ask…please, no more autographs 😔

a stranger just messaged me to ask if they can interview me about a tweet i did about a bad breakup two years ago for a story they’re writing for a major outlet. every time i tell myself i’m done giving the internet partial ownership over my life someone makes me feel like a big hollywood star for doing it ✨

I accidentally made myself famous within my college class by posting every day on my main instagram account about myself and my day. Cons: I live in the fear that someone might know me and I don’t know them and actually I am super shy.

hear me out. I am watching my 65 year old dad use Instagram and social media like I used to when it first came out and I was 14, and nothing brings me more joy. It is simultaneously nostalgic, ironic (because who tells you to get of your phone more than your parents), and unifying because we really are all the same. Over the past few years I’ve watched him progress from not having a profile photo and 20 followers, to having over 600 (? Huh), sending me reels more than I send him, and posting slideshows (youre not supposed to be chill like dat).
but it’s really very charming

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
