This is a curated selection of the author's social media status updates. The title mimics the story collections of various authors, quite often entitled "[Author’s Name]: The Collected Stories." Like such works, in which the collected stories have often been previously published, these status updates have all been previously “shared" on a social networking website. This purposeful print collection is meant to question the permanence of sharing something on the internet and the differences between various modes of publishing.
