We should start a patreon

the out of character podcast is hosted by hamzahthefantastic* and each ep usually lasts up to an hour.
you can put it on in the background of any activity or you could be doing absolutely nothing! itās entertaining both ways!
personally, i really enjoy listening to the solo pod while cleaning my room or drawing. i prefer to listen to the free youtube one w/his co-host martin while playing acnh or minecraft. sometimes they have guests on the youtube one.
itās def worth mentioning that the two pods have a slightly distinct vibe. on most eps, hamzah gets deep and channels his weird cryptic and wise side when he does his solo podcast, whereas the yt pod is alot funnier and sometimes more interactive if that makes sense?? but the yt pod also has plenty of wise moments from the both of them.
the pod with the two of them has me laughing out loud (in public) most of the time, while the patreon one often makes me self reflect and sometimes even motivates me.
(i might also post my opinion on the slushynoobz $5 patreon because MAN is it worth itšāāļø)
but yeah! if this sounds like smth worth spending the price of a monthly wendyās biggie bag on, i recommend you do what i did and watch all of the free ones first. i hope i put u on, but itās not for everybody

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š

Iāve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapidāa critique often rooted in misogynyābut now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretationāpreconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your imageāselfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that thereās another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itās refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, Iāve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalāsomething that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. Iāve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? Itās a question worth considering.
