yes, but that assumes that there is some human quality to the internet. yes, we post emojis and people love cat pics, but there’s still something inherently plastic about all of this - something deeply human that is lost in binary translation, which is why it’s important that we hold on to simple things like using our voices and making eye contact IRL.

“KILL YOUR TV”
i’m glad someone was looking out for me. killing that thing definitely made me a better person.
