Tick Tock

In a world dominated by the short form; circuit circumventing media, "Tick Tock / tick-tick" refers to a concept that has evolved alongside the digital age, primarily influenced by the advent of fast-paced, short-form media platforms, with TikTok being a prime example. Video killed the radiostar, and this term killed tldr, replacing it as the symbol the quickening pace of both media consumption and societal change because nobody even reads anymore. Originating from the simple mimicry of a clock's sound, it now encompasses a broader range of meanings. These include the traditional notion of time's progression and urgency, as well as varied colloquial uses. In everyday language, it appears as a flexible expression, adaptable to different contexts from casual conversation to specific subcultures. The term's adaptability reflects its ability to capture the nuances of contemporary life, serving as a linguistic tool that shifts in meaning according to its use and setting.

(The way I am using it also includes all other definitions; that is, it is an open definition. If you find a contradiction please let me know.)

Hivemind Idioms

"Hivemind Idiom" is a term for a group forming its own unique way of communication, birthing specific terms and phrases that become an exclusive linguistic code.

But there's a complex side to it. Sometimes, these group-specific phrases act as containers for vicariously traumatizing concepts, all wrapped up in catchy lingo. People circulate these loaded phrases, much like a hot potato, without fully grasping their hurtful consequences.

This becomes especially common in environments characterized by echo chambers and a culture of platforming strawmen. Here, individuals are often exposed only to distorted or oversimplified versions of opposing perspectives, leading to the propagation of harmful hivemind idioms. It's like being handed tinted glasses that only let you see the world in one color, exacerbating misunderstandings and stirring divisiveness in conversations and debates.
I am really tired of all the hivemind idioms, it seems like nobody can string a sentence by themselves anymore.

Arendtianfeminisms

Arendtianfeminism creates publicspace contentinternet where any may dialogue in way others retrace, rather than participating in rituals evoking standpoint, identity, transactional credentials, resisting neoliberal subjectivities converting relationships into ledgers calculating emotional labor & privilege, insisting personal experience becomes political once translated subjectively.

Arendtianfeminism resists ironies of the cyberpunk altmanization of solarpunk swartz like a Minerva inspired Perseus giving gorgon haircuts, welcomes critique from refugee stranger, where speech itself already carries wisdom of "do unto others" in human siblinghood.
