Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.

          When looking up your name on here, were the images/videos/audio you posted that are erased via error selfies/self-recordings too? An interesting question when you’ve said before you have the world record for having signed up for the most websites, if you know what I mean.

            Media having the kind of identity crisis to go against functionality is something that tends to happen locally, so while your hunch is correct, I’ll say rely on exporting yourself to any aforementioned other places (look up my name for more) for anything like what you’ve seen of identically clad/headed me just now.
