Every day I succumb to…I don’t know, two or three minutes of TikTok inanity. Maybe four or five but no more than that. And each time I ask myself “what am I doing?”
I especially hate the riddles (Wes & Alison) and the trick math questions and shit like that. Ditto that general atmosphere of auditioning…”if I do this right and keep it up, I could become a TikTok celebrity or influencer of some kind.”
And here I am, participating in it. There seems to be very little HE-styled skepticism or grouchiness. They’re all looking to be popular, clever, diverting, amusing. Where are the malcontents, the crabby-crabs? Maybe if I keep searching…
