this is such a potent articulation. what are other post-earnesty pro-irony accounts you like? it’s a category that’s small bc it’s so easy to spot when it’s disingenuous.

Not sure if you follow @koreen on IG, the woman who founded WNRS, but it’s so interesting seeing how she posts personally and how much of that consideration of what authenticity looks like online that she brings into WNRS.

I'll admit I'm a sucker for these types of posts...

Most people are hungry for some type of positive words/messages, even if they're not authentic/real. Does it resonate with you? Then at least it's somewhat real to you.
