friendship/money. it’s the realest fucking thing there is. there *is* nothing more real than humans keeping other humans alive https://t.co/MEBPOi1M8T
if i was in the nyc jungle w/o money, i either know people or don’t i either am living in a city of foreign monsters, going about their alien plumbing life, or i have a few strands of connection of people who will help keep me alive
im fortunate enough to have three other networks of people i could lean on, and money, which is society’s way of guaranteeing a lot of people will keep me alive https://t.co/gHQRfYkexk
i operate in this social/economic world where some of this stuff can feel not real sometimes. but it is. there’s moments where this twitter thing becomes very real, and it’s moments when i am counting on my friends to do real things
it’s not that i couldn’t count on other networks for real things; it’s that i finally am depending on these “twitter friends” for real things and it’s stress-testing it https://t.co/RYj6Mh1oB8
at the end of the day, there just *is* adults who are friends or transaction partners with each other and mutually keep each other alive. that’s it. that’s all that is real https://t.co/KcJU64zJVe
