The things that Twitter thinks that I am interested in and what that says about Twitter and what that says about me

ANTI-FA

This stands for anti-fascist and it means Twitter thinks I don’t like fascists and my self-analysis here is that Twitter is correct and I don’t like fascists. 

Aaron Donald

I had to Google who this person is. He’s a football player. Twitter thinks I am interested in him. Self-analysis: maybe I’m insecure about my masculinity and read sports stuff I’m not actually interested in. 

Adult Education

I’m an adult getting an education right now, I guess. 

Animation

Animation

Animation

Does this mean I like animation three times more than Aaron Donald? That’s probably true. I don’t like animation that much. 

Bolivia’s Government Issue 

Did the CIA write this one? My new title idea is: “The things that Twitter thinks that I am interested in and what that says about the CIA and what THAT says about ME (working title)” This means that I don’t like the CIA.

Dalai Lama

I kind of feel like it is offensive to be interested in the Dalai Lama on Twitter. 

Egg

I don’t like this. 

Federal Bureau of Investigation

I don’t like this. 

Hello

Hi. 

Jane Austen

True. 

Political Body

Political Corruption Worldwide

Political Figures

Political Issues

I spend a lot of time thinking about Political Corruption Worldwide because of Political Figures in the Political Body with regard to Political Issues. Do you think Twitter can read my mind? That’s pretty scary to me if it’s true. Otherwise it is ok.  

Trading Card Games

Twitter probably knows this is an interest of mine because once backstage during my high school production of Hairspray, my technical theater director tried to teach me Magic: the Gathering but I got bored and started reading House of Leaves (OK book) instead. It is so nice of Twitter to remember this for me.

Travel To: France

I’ve never been to France, but this interest is probably because I once saw the movie Amelie which is set in France, at the Christie Pits Film Festival. I didn’t like it that much. I also saw Ocean’s 11 at that festival which I also didn’t like that much. But Christie Pits is nice. Mostly because it has such a funny name. I also bought a copy of the book The Elegance of the Hedgehog which is also set in France, for 75 cents at a Robarts book sale, but I haven’t read it yet. BTW that book was originally written in French. Freaky. This is probably why Twitter thinks I’m interested in Travel To: France 

Video Games

I’m interested in Video Games. For example: I recently made a Sim of Gertrude Stein in the Sims 4. I bought the Sims 4 when I had a dream that I bought the Sims 4 and woke up and saw that it was on sale for 80 percent off. Gertrude Stein was a fascist sympathizer. Here, recall ANTI-FA. This list is curated for me. For this moment. For this analysis. One wonders how much Twitter knows. How different my thought is from its. Does it even need to read my mind? Or is the structure of its thoughts already so adapted, so identical to myself that my self is but a redundancy. 

WEST

Towards the setting sun. This is sad and it reminds me of the way in which Twitter has surpassed me. It reminds me of colonialism, of course, but it also reminds me that the day of my life, the day of human usefulness, draws to a close. Still, despite this, it is comforting to know that even when the day is drawing to an end, a new day begins. This is the hope Twitter creates for us. Even when the sunset feels like an end, it is also a beginning. Maybe not a beginning for me, for you, or for us, but a beginning for the thing that knows me in this way, in a way I never could have anticipated. How would I remember to be hopeful without Twitter there for me, hoping for me? Maybe I do like Egg, maybe I do like Federal Bureau of Investigation. Who am I to say? Somewhere, a sun is rising. If you go far enough West, it is just East.
