1/ Over the past few weeks I've been thinking more about "public persona" - how careful should I be with it? How filtered? When the bestiality tweet went viral, literally thousands of people assumed I'm a dog fucker instead of realizing I'm a researcher who asks weird questions.

Remember, the negative reaction is a function of how Twitter is constructed, not thousands of people's genuine evaluation of you as a person. They might feel like weapons, but ultimately these were people's opinions about something you didn't say.

Right, but this sort of "opinions about you for something you didn't say" has gotten people disinvited from conferences, shows suspended, or just generally cancelled.

This encapsulates a deeply underrated sentiment that I could never put into words and Im excited because I feel like shame is a big part of the world's unnecessary unhappiness and we all need practice saying stuff like this because this is the fight
