I have officially reached level 1000, and over the last few months it has honestly saved my brain from spiraling down not so happy roads :))

I feel smarter as I solve it without cheating. I never had one as a kid and I Feel like I am making up for lost time. I Can spend hours playing with the Rubik’s cube without any external stimuli (music, tv, friends, conversation, etc.) just the cube and vibes.

it’s kind of like a video game in that each next part takes a lot of tries and patience bcus it’s a completely new task or challenge ur facing, and u have to restart probably a lot, but after so many times u will know how to •beat• the first levels/steps so well and, perhaps, have a deeper understanding of /why/ certain moves work. and u can apply that skill in the next parts!
i looked up & nearly memorized an alg like last year and had always regretted not trying from scratch and like playing around with my cube on my own first til i made progress. but now i’ve forgot certain steps or tricks to it so i’ve been trying to supplement my solving using trial and error and some mathematical imagination. i really recommend this process

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 somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was 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 💌

I’ve 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 vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but 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 misinterpretation—preconceived 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 image—selfies, 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 there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something 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. I’ve 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? It’s a question worth considering.
