I'm so fucking glad that I've hardly ever had my voice and likeness posted publicly on the internet

Same. I managed to stay off of social media, and I was the prime age for it at every turn. MySpace came around when I was in middle school/early high school. Facebook was opened up to everyone in late high school. Instagram came around when I was in college—and when I was traveling. I’m so glad I was that super annoying kid calling everything a conspiracy to steal my likeness/steal my data…who knew my need to be a contrarian as an anarchist teen would be so helpful?

I mean…I also grew up into an anarchist adult. So I just got lucky that I found the right books and music to push me in that direction young.
