Before iPhones had taken over the world I traveled to India for a month bringing a long my laptop, DSLR and Flip Video. During the trip I shot ninety second videos that I posted just about daily documenting my trip and traveling around India. With no special promotion for some reason my shirtless video has gotten the most views. This of course makes abso-smurfly no sense to me. I am not saying I am out of shape, but my upper body has never been a quality I was known for. Maybe it's just the nature of the internet.

made a post a while back on how javert's suicide is often poorly portrayed in film adaptations to the point of accidental comedy, and how the 1978 movie in particular is the most unhinged example. audio warning for a loud trumpet blast, don't turn up your volume
I like singing and dancing. I also like walking. When I go on my walks around town, I have my headphones in, and I sing to myself and dance while I walk.
I realise this makes me the target of being stared at. I sort of invite it -- I don't mind if people look at me from their car, it's weird and silly and so am I. People around town know me for that, and that's fine.
However, I don't consent to being filmed while I do it. I won't catch it every time, since I'm not looking in the cars of people who pass me, but for the second time now, I've seen someone poking their phone out of their window to follow me as I walk, and that's really frustrating. I live in a small town, and I'm either a local curiosity or an attraction for the tourists. It's a different beast entirely when I have no control over who sees me -- the internet is a different beast.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but don't film people. Even if they're acting weird -- especially if they're acting weird! I don't want to be your viral TikTok. Tourists and locals alike should know better than this.
