the way social media blurs our understanding of the separation between speech and writing makes me yearn to write to and with my friends more

@exiliaex you mean it blurs synchronous and asynchronous?

@exiliaex I think this is a good impulse. After all there is a reason why epistolary literature is a thing. There is a permanence in the written word that is unique to it. Though it is true that this permanence is somewhat lost when writing digitally, you can still archive what you write.

@exiliaex I’m self publishing a book consisting entirely of aphorisms and fragments I’ve posted on social media precisely to engage (playfully) with this tension
