If a Group Text Gets Read and No One Reacts, Did It Happen?
from What's New · host SpokenLayer
I often worry I'm an under-reactor. It's not that things don't affect me, or that I'm needlessly stoic—born-and-bred Midwesterners like me tend to be level-headed. (Or at least as even-keeled as one can be in 2018.) This is a purely performative kind of reaction I'm talking about: I don't add the "angry" face to Facebook posts from old high-school classmates, don't "heart" nearly as many tweets as maybe I should. I probably don’t even double-tap enough sunset posts on Instagram. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
