Once upon a time, in 1999, when the internet was small, when it came through your phone and not just on your phone, when the first browser war had not yet been won, when you had to teach yourself a few lines of code if you wanted to exist online, when the idea of broadcasting your real name for anyone to see was unthinkable — in those early days, before Twitter revolutions, before Facebook Live homicides, when the internet was small and most people didn’t understand it, and only the nerds hung out there — even then, it was already happening.
Even then, people hated girls on the internet.
My heart felt incredibly heavy reading this and I seriously hope that Sara, whoever she is, is still here and still making beautiful things on the internet although we don't know her name.
