🦀 SPECIAL EDITION DEEP DIVE: GRWM to evacuate + the virality of mutual aid + disaster coverage meets lolcows + "baby, there's no starbucks" + social as a megaphone + bethenny frankel 🦀
this was such a great read. i especially find all the parts about dark humor to be interesting. i write about and research grief in media, and i had noticed (and hate lol) when people /do/ talk about grief on tiktok, it's done through a lens of "oh i have dark humor <3" which, sure fine, but then people in the comments who do not share the same loss experience are also making jokes through the lens of dark humor. i'd love to look into how dark humor has evolved from pre-internet times to now. this articulated everything i've been feeling about that phenomenon but haven't known how to explain. i hope you're all staying safe ♥️
& YES! I’m glad to hear you speak on the dark humor as a coping mechanism. The neurological aspect of the concept and the choice of disassociation has fascinated me through watching events unfold.
