It's so cold here and this essay has warmed me up! "Sustaining nourishing contexts where people can behave in a meaningful way.." and "yes, it's made up, but all of human social reality is made up." how insightful.. thank you 🌺❤️
Your Santa tweet was my absolute favourite one of your tweets. And though I often find myself randomly thinking about something you've poignantly tweeted, I think of this one the most. The simplicity, the warmth, the kindness, it always leaves me with fuzzies. Hope you're enjoying your holidays xoxo
This is great. Is there something like this santa thing that everybody already does? Where theres a secret that we let kids in when they grow up that doesnt destroy the original fact, but rather recontextualizes it?
I'm not sure; I feel like there must be, but maybe it's not as universal. There are probably some local versions everywhere but I struggle to come up with one off the top of my head 🤔
Care to outsource this to your twitter? I cant think of things like this except certain esoteric teachings of religions that were only meant for an elite
Humans of New York had the most beautiful thread on this ?phenomenon?

If you only read one see 13/15. But the whole thing is worth it. It's Santa, talking about the joy and struggle of...being Santa.
oh how beautiful... thank you for sharing this with me
