Came across the term "reality personality" today. It's not the first time I've seen it, but it made me pause this time because it's such a weird coupling of words because of the speculative interpretations. Are there personalities who aren't real? AI personalities? Are actors not real? Aren't reality personalities acting anyway? I have no idea where I'm going with any of that, only that it's a bizarre term that seems rooted in a postmodern belief that our existence is tied to the media and so reality is something generated.
Welcome to the age of post-realism.
Moving to a cabin in the woods and pooping in a hole doesn't seem like the worst idea out there.
Rev & I will keep an eye out and let you know when it's listed on Zillow!

Looks like a good place to get some writing done, maybe send a few letters to friends … and others.

Throw in a few extra bucks and you might be able to get that sweet bike.

Get some old hockey cards to put in the spokes, I'll be stylin' on my trips into Helena.

Assuming sweet bikes are capable of sweet jumps too?
