i once went down a deep rabbithole out of curiosity to learn more about this lady – her name is Crystal Thierry, she recently-ish turned 40 years old, she strikes me as funny and smart and sort of a proto-egirl from the early 2000s before everything got algo-optimized Image
she reminds me a bit of Aella in that she would post stuff that was sexy but also goofy, like there's always a bit of this sense of "i am a weird nerd who happens to be in an attractive female body, what do?" ImageImage
she's from alabama, which i think explains a lot. there's a certain vibe i get from people like this, kind of like "sharper than the small town they're in/from" but more nuanced than that. she reminds me of hayley williams too, in a way

(this isn't her natural accent, she's… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
the vibe i get from pics like this is "I know i'm hot, but also i am in bumfuck nowhere, and i want to acknowledge that rather than pretend i'm not"

to offer a comparison, here is a pic of me in front of a garbage dumpster. if i were an attractive woman i'd do what she's doing ImageImage
this is a more recent picture (she still looks great!!) and the visual vocabulary reminds me of one of my favorite pics from another internet friend, quoted below Image
anyway i think she is very cool and i hope she is living her best life, thx crystal for sharing your hot nerd goofy vibes with the world
for the people coming here via the For You tab, next up check out this thread about chartreuse, it's very satisfying

I have a lot of thoughts about this, as someone who both tweets a lot and likes reading books

I think for starters a lot of people do themselves a disservice by comparing their current/adult selves with their tutorial zone kid selves who read when there was little else to do
second, I think as people accumulate socialization there’s a lot of “books I should want to read, books I’m supposed to read, books I ought to read” etc which muddy up the list of books you’ll actually read, which is the books you simply want to read
third, and this is related to the first point, I think people have this mental model of reading as something you set aside hours of uninterrupted time for. lots of ppl fantasize about reading books in 1-4 sittings. But they never quite have time for that. But funnily enough,

connected a few dots i’ve been simmering on for years now

oversimplified: one of the reasons there arent ~“simple solutions to everybody’s human problems” is that what sets off a cascade of insight for someone at one tier of wretchedness can worsen things for someone below
the recent prevalence of the phrase “skill issue” is a useful example to gesture at. it’s a scissor that can cleave a peviously nebulous group into camps of people who feel energized and people who feel demoralized by it
for private individuals, this is basically a good thing. ish. mostly. sorta. you want to be at least mildly polarizing enough that the social reality around you rearranges itself to suit you.

or rather, we cant escape or avoid this. it’s always happening! similar pattern as:

I’ve increasingly gotten the sense that each person has some kind of “wretchedness floor” in their cached worldview. eg re: that viral tiktok girl who moved to Texas. I saw a comment saying “where are her friends?” some people struggle to imagine that someone might not have any
similar general phrasing in other situations is like “where were the parents?” oftentimes the answer is “not there!” or “contributing to the problem!”
most people have a sort of maybe 3-step algorithm (honestly 3 is generous lol it’s probably mostly 1 sometimes 2) abt how to deal with most problems, you get some all time hits like “cheer up”, “man up”, “get over it”, “it’s not so bad”, some fun new phrases like “skill issue”,

this^ makes me want to approach this from another angle... there's something to all of this about Time, and varying forms of time-blindness, and the scales of time that we are socialized to consider and not-consider

i'll try and speedrun a form of it in a few tweets. my first big rugpull shock was probably when the women who raised me, left me. i seem to remember feeling the world going white, cold, screeching, the abandonment felt like a kind of death

for starters I think Rich is totally worth $1000/hr to the right client, even $10k/hr for some

second- I’ve seen versions of this crop up, people balking at how much others charge for their services, and imo it’s a mix of scarcity mindset + lack of project sense, market sense
maybe in Rich’s case the phrase “vibe mechanic” comes across as a little silly or wooey or something, probably on purpose. But what Rich does is help people interface better with each other, and there are corporate contexts where this is worth $100k++
in some situations, like in handling a dispute between two cofounders of a billion dollar company, a “vibe mechanic” can be literally worth millions. Think about this, seriously. Don’t waste your energy fighting and arguing over scraps
