not posting
often when something noteworthy happens to me -- a negative sexual experience, an awkward date, a weird subway encounter -- i'll have the impulse to post about it on twitter. but then i think, what if i texted this to my friend instead? and then you can text it to your friend, maybe even one you haven't texted in a while, and they will probably be happy to hear from you directly and you will have strengthened a beautiful relationship. all tweets are spiritually corrosive and the spirit of your new interpersonal bond will persevere long after platforms are dead

Alternatively can go in the notes app or a voice memo to laugh at later

or it could be kept inside your heart as a dark seed that ultimately makes things worse and corrodes your social interactions.. not saying you should be doing this but it is an option to consider

the amount of group chat inside jokes that formed because of this honestly makes it way more gratifying to do than just posting it. like one group chat has 'train man from downtown' as a running gag for 3 years now and it's still going strong

so much more gratifying to ask your friend what they’ve been up to compared to seeing it on instagram

using instagram less / text your friends more
sure yes i can check your story and know what you’ve been up to today but who the fuck cares. i’m live texting you as i descend into drunkenness, sending you screenshots of weird emails, incorrectly correcting typos because we‘re like 🤞🏼 this traditional social media are boring, all you need is a few close friends on letterboxd, pi.fyi, last.fm, plus i got your #, i’m gonna text u

twitter as diary
over time people have weaned off of it so no one follows me and it makes the flow of ~consciousness~ completely raw and in live time. I lost touch with it for years but it's back to being a bestie. I have a feeling this might be a similar platform, we shall seeeeee.

getting offline
do y’all ever think about getting off social media but then you worry about how you’ll keep in touch with your friends? i’ve been thinking about this a lot bc i wanna delete ig but it’s where i talk to some of my rly close friends. i hate that it monopolizes connection like that. but i also had this realization that like the people i follow/follow me on ig are not “friends” they’re just superficial connections. real, deep, long meaningful relationships (which i’m craving) i think do require me to get the fuck offline and take the time i was mindlessly scrolling and putting it back into myself or my friends is where i’ll see the greatest positive feedback. and being PRESENT in those relationships. i feel like this is what that book the dopamine generation is about butttttt haven’t read it yet.

being a groupie
my job is being a writer which means i have a lot of free time and it also means that fun group events within my industry are rare. this opens up the wonderful world of being a GROUPIE -- a quasi-professional fan of the talents of others. i am not a comedian but through being a comedy groupie i have reaped the greatest benefit of the trade (funny friends) without ever having to set foot on an improv stage. i am not a musician but through being a music groupie i get to listen to my friends play beautiful songs and sometimes play with them for fun. i am not in fashion but being a fashion groupie means i get to hang out with impossibly stylish and knowledgeable women and sometimes try on beautiful clothes. being a master of none means you get to hang out with the masters of everything and it rocks. and all that is demanded of you is that you love and appreciate wonderful art -- DONT MIND IF I DO !
