i think it's either the result of a stream of consciousness into one's phone hastily formatted into a blog post, or something constructed to resemble that. the rushed construction slash abrasive rhetorical tool kinda matches the message it's trying to send, imo. it's often that the amount of time i've spent thinking about something (a lot) is totally disproportionate to the time i spend typing my thoughts up (a little). the graphics feel like someone sending an image in between chat messages

oh, this is a really good way of putting it! that’s exactly what happened :)

Are you saying that you were too busy thinking to put capitals at the start of sentences? Is that a joke?
Phones will automatically add the basic correct grammar for you. I would also argue that if you can touch type then writing in all lowercase is again more difficult than adding the correct (basic) grammar.

I don't know about Android but on the iPhone you have to go out of your way to remove the capitalisation.

this is gonna sound antagonistic but i promise it's not: you're absolutely right! but people do go into the settings and disable auto-capitalization, and it's pretty much how young and/or queer people type nowadays
