Go to nostalgia for vintage! Amys place (right next to nostalgia) for the best breakfast ever Federal Hill for: dessert at pastiche, Italian markets, and dancing in the square (I think dancing is weekend nights in the summer) East side pockets on Thayer street- cheap and always great. Walk around Thayer and browns campus afterwards. Prospect park- lovely picnic spot and overlooks the city the atheaneum- the most beautiful library Iā€™ve ever been to. I think itā€™s $5 to enter now, but worth it! Risd art museum- small but cool Pizza Marvin! The eddy for drinks Aleppo sweets for baklava & cool bookstore next door

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 somebodyā€”be it a relative or one of my best friendsā€”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 šŸ’Œ

Iā€™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 vapidā€”a critique often rooted in misogynyā€”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 misinterpretationā€”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 imageā€”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 thereā€™s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itā€™s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics. By sharing so few images of myself, Iā€™ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalā€”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. Iā€™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? Itā€™s a question worth considering.
