Very surreal viewing experience with myself and one dude being the only solitary perverts in our small theater packed to the gills with peopleācouples, pairs of women, and a front row of college aged girls having a ladiesā night. They were talking so loudly that people had to yell at them to shut up. (After the movie I heard one of them say āI think it was straight middle aged freaky not actually freaky. Sheās a straight middle aged woman in power who wants to be dominated by the man and thatās the only thing. And she was a terrible person the entire time!ā)
I was blushing furiously the whole time and shrinking into my seat and my jaw definitely dropped multiple times. Very cerebral and psychosexually loaded movie that deals primarily in restraint to explore control vs vulnerabilityā¦

It had me thinking uncouth? thoughts. For sure it was a sexually stimulatig film but the extent to which the makers decided to push it is astounding to me. It had me thinking about knowing where to draw the line in cases of severe infatuation and/or sexually charged relationships/affairs. As a person who wants to explore her sexuality to its deepest end, but is also a little emotionally avoidant and is easily weirded out by intimacy, films such as ITRTS make me feel like there is some level of compulsion or obsessiveness? that I haven't quite felt with the men I've been with. In my head I be having the filthiest thoughts but rarely does it translate to the bedroom.

HARROWING but gorgeous and painterly film about sex and power and oppression. I was lucky enough to catch it at an Alamo Drafthouse for a special screening, go watch it on your friendās projector for maximum effect āļø

hits so hard to watch a movie in the morning at a discounted price among my people.
today i watched poor things and sat between a beautiful woman and an average man and all our hands felt like magnets (shy magnets) (we walked out into the bright gray light afterwards like nothing happened)

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.
