a couple months ago i had plans to go on a date, but had a couple early cold symptoms & didn’t want to get them sick, so i tried taterhole’s rec of eating raw garlic!!!! i didn’t go back and read it again and just ate two whole garlic cloves. it was a profoundly unpleasant experience. spicy and so so strong. but it did absolutely work!!!! cold symptoms cleared up so fast and never grew into anything more sinister. afterwards i went back and reread the original rec and from memory i think u only have to eat one, and u can also chop it up and have it with honey. which would be way nicer. do that instead. my way left me with brutal garlic breath that literally lasted over 24 hours, no matter how many times i brushed my teeth, which wasn’t ideal since i was literally going on a date later. they laughed at me so much but they also did ask me to be their partner that day, so maybe it actually helped me get the girl????? impossible to say. anyway try garlic!!!!

My Dad used to give me some to eat whenever I got sick. Wouldn't say it's my "go-to" but he might have been onto something.

This sounds weird until you do it. The taste is nbd after a few cloves AND it's good for you! It boosts immunity, digestion, balances blood sugar, fights infections, etc. Maybe just don't combine with coffee (made that mistake) and buy a pack of gum.

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.
