The ways that people can get in touch with you [have] proliferated. The number of texts that I send every day? The sheer amount of communication that I do on all sorts of--like, Twitter DMs, my email inbox, texts, Instagram DMs--it’s just coming in every single direction and there’s no easy way to filter through the urgency of different requests. And this is the other thing too, right? Like, it’s a flattening. And so it just feels like everything all the time.

We just all have a finite amount of social energy. [...] We have technology that allows us to transmit more than we have to send.
