I'm writing a book! It's about friendship and American values and the way those things are often in opposition I feel beyond grateful and also unmoored from reality but I've been waiting months to make this joke, so.... the real book deal is the friends we made along the way

looking for a few more folks to talk about their friendships for my book! seeking some specific things, but also happy to hear from anyone w/ thoughts on modern friendship or a unique story survey link below, sharing would be highly appreciated! https://t.co/FvRQTYx5JK
