not gonna lie, you won't catch me romanticizing lockdown vibes—but there was something unreal about that era

despite everything, there was this wild window where you could literally work from your couch, flip NFTs on the side, and watch zero-utility monkey jpegs trade for six figures like it was the most natural thing ever. the absurdity was kind of addictive
