.
Schoolyard popularity
Social media celebrities
Armchair activists ignoring reality
News feed narcotics
Narcissist neurotics
Status anxiety?
A “like” is not endorsement
Endorsement is not a comment
Silence betrays arrogance?
Fearing opinions
Impression management
Feeds perceptions
Poses vs. tags
Covering and uncovering
Wrinkles and rags
The calm update hides a post-atomic sky
Words are lost in the smoke & desolation
Blind mirrors reflect no light
