#vibecamp thoughts

my congratulations and gratitude to @gptbrooke, the core @tpotvibecamp team, and the many many volunteers — both formal and impromptu

it takes a village to raise @babymoonbot you know 💗
Brooke has repeatedly blown away my expectations — I love internet weirdo gatherings so I was excited from day 1, but also skeptical that first-time event organizers could tackle something this big and pull it off

well: there were wrinkles ofc, but overall a SLAM DUNK
unlike many attendees, I knew what my social experience was going to be, due to copious conf + house party + socializing with strangers (sort of) in the past, also due to being a "big account," and most especially due to having attended similar-but-smaller postrat events
favorite experiences were:

hanging out with old friends who I haven't seen since pre-covid — I'm tempted to name names but I would def leave someone out accidentally. love y'all so much

meeting longtime mutuals irl for the first time 🥰 shouts to my ride-or-die babe @IvyAstrix
things I kept saying to everyone I talked to:

1) this venue is huge and amazing!
2) there are so many people here! (around 400)
3) I simultaneously know everybody and nobody! who are y'all omg?!?!?! ohhh wait okay 50% of you the name or pfp badge rings a bell
I probably didn't talk to even half the people I know from online. and half of the people I did talk to, it was like five minutes of "omg it's you!!!!!" and then we never ran into each other again

I def concur w/ others that next vibecamp should be at least 3 days
also, the afterparties have been killer so far (not over yet!) so if next vibecamp is three days I'll be there for five, if it's 5 I'll be there for 7, etc.
I've known this for a while, but vibecamp definitely highlighted the opportunity cost of my reluctance to collaborate with people more. I could be doing SO MUCH and I don't, I limit myself because I am... afraid? rigid? too controlling? idk exactly
by the way, anyone scared to get sober because you're worried it will kill your social life / ability to socialize — takes time to readjust, but like the Beatles said, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. joy comes from within

for some reason "what if I just die" is a comforting thought even though I don't want to die. it's like, I could, and then I wouldn't have to exist anymore, and that's nice to think about
what if I stop holding myself together and decohere and drift apart like dust spreading through a sunbeam
what if I were nothing specific at all

great interview with @LauraBehrensWu on @stratechery, talking about shipping as a crucial vector of ecommerce strategy: stratechery.com/2022/an-update… [paywalled I think]
I interviewed Laura when I worked at Inc. (so like five years ago now... shit) and it's super impressive how the company has scaled up since then
"That abstraction layer that we're building, ideally anyone should be able to start a carrier, plug into Shippo, get volume routed to them, and the merchant and the consumer should never notice that it's another carrier doing the shipping in the background." — @LauraBehrensWu

after vibecamp I'm completely giving up on following a reasonable number of people
unexpected effect of the event is that I'm enjoying Twitter again
I can live with / in total abundance

sorry to be a total bitch putting this person on blast but the perceptual deficits of vibecamp haters are hilarious to me
like what......, have you literally not heard of events?

I'm curious whether /r/Catholicism will survive on Reddit, given that Catholic dogma on homosexuality and related matters conflicts with burgeoning progressive notions of (un)acceptable speech. Reddit's "Anti-Evil Operations" is in play... reddit.com/r/Catholicism/…
seems like a @roddreher column in the making...
(contextual side note: I'm not Catholic, but I deeply respect Catholicism both in theory and practice, even when I diverge from it)
