“My username is just my name and then the number I wore while playing baseball in high school. I made the account on the bus back from practice.”
“As a teacher, I can’t really post pictures of me drinking or smoking, and those are two of my favorite activities! So that’s a bit difficult.”
“I don’t have anything in my bio because it’s public and I don’t need the children to see it.”
“I often will go long periods of time in between posting. But I’m never like ‘Oh man, I’m due to post something on Instagram’.”
“I like to think I did the trend of a bunch of photos in an album that have no connection to each other before it was cool. It’s like how any person would keep relics in a box or file something away.”
Are you selective with who you follow?
“Not in the slightest. I don’t think I’ve thought about that in a while. A couple of weeks ago I noticed I was up in the 600s and I was concerned for myself.”

“I had a username that was really questionable that I had made when I was in middle school maybe, so I had to change it. But I waited a while to change it. I waited until the day The Washington Red Skins renamed their team to The Commanders. I felt like, well, the time has come to change the name.”
“I never really post on my public or private story. Nothing every really makes sense for me to post.”
“I would only really use Snapchat to send a selfie, but I really stopped using it in the last couple years. The last snap I got was 3 weeks ago.”
“The profile picture is from my 23rd birthday– it was pirate themed. It’s just so people can identify me easily.”
“I look at other people’s transactions, 100%. It’s the best way to get the skinny.”
“I make the transaction descriptions purposefully vague with the hope that the recipient doesn’t have it on private.”
“My username is DougFisterFan, he was a pitcher for the Mariners in the mid 2010s and I thought his name was funny.”
“I have to be selective with who can follow this account because it sort of works like a journal so it has to be very particular in that front.”
“My profile picture is my friend’s business card. He reviews pornographic films. It’s a work of art. Being able to file away something so important in a place it will live forever, like the internet, is perfect.”
“My account is private. It’s got to be for the children.”
“What I post is very flow-of-consciousness. Just whatever comes in needs to go out somewhere so it goes here.”
Who do you tweet for or toward?
“Oh I’m going right into the void. You know the image of the guy shouting at the brick wall? That’s sort of how I feel.”

“I definitely don’t think about how my tweets are perceived, to my own detriment. It often comes back to bite me. But it wouldn’t have the same positive effect on my being if I didn’t do that. The purpose of it as a journal would no longer be fulfilled.”
