This morning I took a cab from the airport and towards the end of the ride the driver said "you know at the end we all die alone" so you could say I'm feeling pretty back in the big apple

@gleick highly recommend chatting with Matt Hockenberry at Fordham University--he did a dissertation on Western Electric supply chains and has loads of good scans of materials from their archives

Update: my backpack has too many pockets and I found my keys

Got to the airport for a red-eye after two weeks away from home and it appears that at some point in the last 14 days I lost my keys?? Coming home totally fine and not ragged as hell thanks for asking

My general vibe for #xoxofest is apparently spiraling at mortality and the amnesiac cycle of all of us barnacle-ing resistant little communities onto a series of sinking ships

@nk I should have rephrased, in the moment I think any pep talk was humiliating

@rf no disrespect to the work more just feeling personally pathetic and humiliated at the pity of strangers

Got a pep talk from a security guard how humiliating

@phil it's fine now I think I just need to crawl into a hole and die

Fucking hate how in Portland everyone asks if you're ok when you're crying I miss New York

I walked out because I started crying haha

Really proud of the boys of neverpo.st watching them do a live show episode and also low-key sad realizing how much the show I work on for them does not nor will it ever have the same level of appeal or production quality and care??

You put on EMOTION in its entirety and expect us to just chill, monsters

Grateful for the masks required policy at #xoxofest because now no one can see me lip syncing to the entire Carly Rae Jepsen album playing before the talks begin

On the one hand, I'm at a conference where I'll get to see lots of people I know

On the other hand: lots of people, yikes
