Yesterday, I went to an Alice Fraser salon. (She sets up these zoom hang outs for her Patreons, and there's usually 8-12 people there.) It was really nice. It felt refreshing and intimate (as I told her in a message later, feeling a little bit like a weirdo). Most of the people on the zoom call were from the UK, but there were a couple of Americans and Australians as well. The contemporary world is complicated, and the internet makes it more so, but I was thinking about how amazing it is. How I can talk to people around the world on a random Tuesday afternoon. How I can dig through podcasts, following idea threads or linking various people together, finding out more about how people who I've never met are thinking and living.
