Today's personal feed is a mixed bag: a sharp defense of smart glasses against moral panic, a celebrity breakup, a spiritual call to action, and a workplace confession. The through-line is identity, whether it's how we present in public, at work, or to ourselves.
Two pieces today are about how we perform for others, from the train to the office.
