Last night I went to a halloween party The kind where the music’s too loud, the costumes rivaled heidi klum, and everyone’s pretending not to notice how often people disappear into the bathroom Sometimes alone. sometimes in pairs. they’d vanish for thirty seconds, maybe a minute. Then stumble back out. eyes wide, cheeks flushed, laughing like they’d just seen god. I asked one girl how she could do so much and still function. She grinned and said, “everyone’s doing it.” So I followed her, pushing open the door. There, to my surprise, instead of a plate clouded with lines of powder, Was a single glowing phone, trembling in someone’s hand. On the screen: @avax points market. They weren’t doing drugs. They were glazing the @nobsfud and @ExcelBaller masterpiece, vouching and upvoting for each other checking their positions on the leaderboard. And suddenly it all made sense.
