Time Capsule #38: What’s your best example of fake it till you make it?

So curious to hear these answers!

Jan 28, 2024

Welcome to my Time Capsule project, where I save and reshare old pieces of writing, art and other creations. The purpose behind this project is so that created pieces don’t live and die by the algorithm, without forcing creators to be on the hamster wheel of creation. Want to join?
