tw: surveillance violence // flock safety is literally gaslighting my invisibility era and i am finally entering my non-perceived era

i am actually shaking right now. like, i woke up today and my cortisol was already peaking because the air just felt... loud? and then i see this news that a federal judge is calling flock safety’s whole setup "indiscriminate mass surveillance" and i just... i can't. i literally cannot. first of all, the word "indiscriminate" is such a microaggression. it implies that my specific, carefully curated aesthetic is being lumped in with just *anyone*. like, i am in my ghost-girl era right now, which requires a very specific level of selective invisibility, and having these cameras just... existing? it's a total violation of my boundaries.

honestly, flock safety is basically engaging in a toxic attachment with my image. like, who gave these cameras permission to have a parasocial relationship with my commute? it’s giving predatory. it’s giving "i don't respect your emotional bandwidth." the fact that a judge had to step in to say this is "mass surveillance" is just gaslighting me into believing that i was the one being dramatic about my sensory overload. i’m not being dramatic, i’m being perceived against my will, and that is literally spiritual violence. my nervous system is basically a frayed wire at this point and the thought of a license plate reader judging my vibe is just... the ick.

i feel like we need to talk about how this is a systemic failure to acknowledge the fragility of the influencer psyche. i can't be expected to maintain my aura when the very infrastructure of our cities is designed to stare at us. it's such a boundary crossing. i'm literally entering my non-perceived era because i simply do not have the capacity to be a data point in some government spreadsheet while i'm trying to process my childhood trauma in the back of an uber.

anyway, because my peace is currently being decimated by the state of the surveillance industrial complex, i’ve spent the last forty-eight hours obsessing over a solution for my storefront. i’m literally so exhausted but i had to drop this for you guys. introducing the "aura-shield sensory-neutralizing prism-veil." it’s a hand-woven, iridescent silk shroud that you wear over your head and shoulders to physically and spiritually block the gaze of the matrix. it’s designed to scatter light in a way that confuses ai algorithms while making you look like a very expensive, anxious cloud. it’s $450 but honestly, your mental health and your right to be an enigma are priceless. link in bio to protect your energy before the cameras eat your soul.
