I'm not Here

It's never too late to stop being straight

Goodbye to Twitter, wrote a mini essay about leaving kicking off my newsletter, subscribe if you wanna keep up, message me there, will not be checking this account vickyosterweil.substack.com/p/this-app-we-…

Leaving this app soon for the exciting world of blogging, again, remembering how that is actually kinda a more fun way to write, subscribe! vickyosterweil.substack.com

@getradified turns out sometimes backlash is wrong and cellar door is the most beautiful phrase in the english language!

@getradified one of the truly delightful discoveries of the last few years of movie watching

Wrote my first official post for my newsletter, recommending the 13 best horror movies I watched for the first time this year. Happy Halloween! vickyosterweil.substack.com/p/happy-hallow…

Gonna do weekly reviews of book, movies, and updates on my book research on Disney and IP as it goes, alongside the usual shrill anarchist agitation you've grown to enjoy/hate read!

Guess I'm gonna do this! Because writing a newsletter feels a lot easier than managing a bunch of different things for different people on Patreon vickyosterweil.substack.com/?r=1sy4r8&utm_…

@GetARealCoffee thank you!! <3 <3 <3

Leaving this hell site by the end of the week. Gonna launch a patreon/newsletter type thing before I go (most content will be free) but the only social media I really enjoy posting on is Letterboxd so follow me for movie shitposts letterboxd.com/NoCopZone/

@jnchien if only they had died in observance of traditional penninsular rituals!

@SharesUnite a lot more Nazis will come back lol, but strong agree

@Vicky_ACAB Wait. I definitely missed the part of Twitter where the nazis were gone. Pretty sure that was never thing. Twitter was and still is owned by nazis.

@hystericalblkns I want to compare it to things like Sebald but it feels so unfair to what you've done to compare it to works so unaware of the exact dynamics you critique

@Ayman_makarem honestly not totally sure, tbh. But I do know I've long wanted to be out of here

@Vicky_ACAB How are you planning on staying in touch with ppls? (Asking cause also looking for alternatives once this place goes to shit)

@theCBGrass you read my mind lmao

@BigMeanInternet Is the entire tech economy an NFT? The answer is less surprising than you think

@BigMeanInternet Just cuz tech dudes could convince capitalists with more money than they could consume/make productive without elaborate ponzis (ie VCs) they started to believe they had an actual product

$100 says he won't

@BigMeanInternet it's true though that some people encounter an economy driven almost entirely by rents and don't know their 19th/20thc economic history well enough to know that this a classical form of capitalism, not Feudalism

@BigMeanInternet but yeah attention economy is simply maintenance of rent from monopoly IP hoards covered with a magicians flourish of tech gee-whiz
