I stopped eating meat when I was about 12 years old and was a vegetarian and vegan for 10 years after that until I decided! I didn’t want to do it anymore and that’s okay 🫶 I’m allowed to make choices that feel right for me, without guilt or shame or moralizing. There’s already enough in life to carry—and I must say that I love to eat :-) (Parallel rec with much love and respect: being vegan if that’s what you want to do 💖)

Seven years of veganism really set me back! Wow, chicken is so good, but specifically rotisserie. When I broke veganism, I really just stuck with fish, eventually branching out to red meat and the occasional chicken sandwich. Despite my newfound love for meat, I respect vegans and their efforts. Whatever makes you feel good, I’m all for it. I do think PETA does a little too much, but I think that’s a widely accepted opinion. Doesn’t every cause have a loud group like that, tarnishing their reputation? Anyway, this is all just to say, I had rotisserie chicken for dinner today and it was so good. I hope everyone else had a great dinner.

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.
