sure working in social is cool but it’s also overly demanding & fucked up
being attacked online for tweets you didn’t even post
replies saying to kill yourself cause of a typo

no one in the room listening or trusting when you push back on a Very Bad Social Idea that unfolds exactly as you said

there’s so much i love about social, but being constantly overworked, significantly underpaid, dealing with harassment online & in person everyday only exacerbated my drowning mental health until i was suicidal for nearly a year. my therapist told me last week i’m dealing w ptsd.
this quickly became a personal rant that’s not what the conversation should be focused on so prob gonna delete cause you should always delete your bad tweets
