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.

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?

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
