because of hitchhiking, i treat life like an open-world video game more than anyone else i know. i spend way less time on assigned quests & way more time exploring the map in free play— this actually allows me to CREATE more of my own quests & pick up unique qualia

@shagbark_hick i’ve never been able to fully return to “normal” life after hitchhiking. that’s why i live in a bus now. however, while i relate to the negative feelings experiencing how american society treats hitchhikers, i’ve also had my faith often restored by the kindness of strangers

super wealthy young people terrify me. being at harvard has made me unnaturally attuned to just how radically insular that world is. it’s always surprising learning what was/wasn’t part of their growing up & what they just don’t realize about themselves or their own worldviews
