Look. This? This is my old man. He was born in like, ‘57 or ‘59, cause he and mom had about a year in age apart and she was born in ‘58. No I can’t be assed to remember who was older. 

But I have Real. Evidence. That they were doing selfies and shit even when the cameras weren’t that fucking sophisticated yet. This? is a picture I took of a polaroid I still have in my personal collection that includes my parents’ wedding pictures and a few stupid pics of us as kids before my mom swore off cameras. 

Don’t ever let people tell you that the new kids are the ones who created selfies. 

Bonus pictures from around the same time frame, with my dad’s (questionably amusing ) fashion choices.

On this week’s show Alicia Eler reads passages from her new book The Selfie Generation (Skyhorse Publishing) which explores the role of cell phone self-portraiture in today’s society. I read "Searching for Karen Pence” an essay I wrote about Eler’s auto-fictional social media writing experiment about her brief love affair with Karen Pence, the wife of Vice President of the United States. We discuss social media and photography and their role in our current political climate.

a thought i have while scrolling through photos of people like @lady-neurotica and myself, who have huge health issues that will probably take us out one day (unless we get something fun, like a freak accident on a fair ride that only kills us)... i’m so appreciative of the selfie generation, of the tumblr community that (for the most part) really encourages self portraits and learning to appreciate yourself in this body, because there is a record of us forever. who knows how long after we’re gone people will be looking at our photographs, there for our (step) children or family to find and treasure one day, to keep us alive somehow. i like that idea.
