It’s slightly stressful to know that one’s personal database is bloated and disorganized, but you can’t see my cloud. It’s my burden to bear, my weight to carry; luckily, since I’m physically small, it’s only a cloud.

It’s best to just take another photograph. Keep building up the database. Throw it into the cloud, whatever that is.

This would involve decision-making, which is cognitively taxing. This would involve delving deep into our personal histories, our pasts, which may involve feelings we don’t feel like feeling.

Closets are stacked with old computers. It would be better, of course, to go through all of one’s photos and keep only those worth keeping, but the thought of this induces paralyzing exhaustion.

How much of the burden is in the way we watch ourselves? In the early years of the twenty-first century, everyone is amassing digital information but no one knows how to sort through it.

To study surveillance is to learn, over and over, that we cannot escape ourselves.

We all have to have the receipts, receipts for everything, receipts for texts and one-line emails and Facebook messages, an ageless record of the time I made a bad joke in a group thread and my friends twice-tapped *haha!* so as not to leave me hanging.

A paper receipt might get trashed or lost or misfiled, out of reach of digital discovery. But it is our fate to live in the age of the indelible.

Surveillance finds truths, and surveillance serves the creation of elaborate untruths. In our time we have cast disappearance as suspect — “ghosted,” we say, as if it’s a bad thing — while we celebrate the keeping of a kind of terrible track: I have the receipts.

It’s too late, of course; you are already known, though the you that is known is not the you that you are. Willingly you have surrendered many bits of information that, taken together, form a sclerotic social identity with a strange relation to the real.

I wrote a pink book about a three-legged dog, Lady Gaga, Reality Winner, Satan, selfies and the way surveillance changes the way we talk to ourselves. 🧵

Kerry Howley's astonishing new book, Bottoms Up and the Devil Laughs, comes out today. Kerry, to whom I happen to be wed, is not on this platform, so I'm going to reproduce the Twitter thread she wrote this morning here. Rest of the thread is her... https://amzn.to/3JC6Wiu

@mmasnick@mastodon.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr @bignose@social.chinwag.org I think they're def different. But they're analogous. Systemic undischargeable debt burden is a sort of structural risk to the system, but much more slow motion. Slow crumbling vs sudden collapse. And I think Corey's on to something in that the rich are considered the pillars of the system, such that bailing them out is OK because it protects everyone, but bailing out the bottom or the middle is risky/unfair when it comes at the expense of the gilded pillars
