How fucken pathetic is this?
But they capture a behavior my closest friends and I had already begun to adopt: The practice of showing each other where we are at any given moment in time, either through a short video or photo of our workstations, our faces as we lie half-asleep in bed on rainy Sunday afternoons, a look into our lives that is reserved for only those closest to each other. It is an acknowledgement that the version of ourselves we share through other social media is not the truest one, and has not been for a long time.

That’s not pathetic at all. Did you read the article? Success Theater is what is pathetic.
What this writer is doing is a sweet, close, intimate way to break that down. I admire her, she sounds inventive, smart, and in touch.
