Post Body

I’m Tim. I write a blog called Wait But Why, where I write/illustrate long posts about a lot of things—the future, relationships, aliens, whatever. In 2016 I turned my attention to a new topic: why my society sucked. Tribalism was flaring up, mass shaming was back into fashion, politicians were increasingly clown-like, public discourse was a battle of one-dimensional narratives. So I decided to write a post about it, which then became a post series, which then became a book called What’s Our Problem? Ask me about the book or anything else!

When I’m procrastinating, I post stuff on Twitter and Instagram.

UPDATE: 9 hours and 80 questions later, I'm calling it quits so I can go get shat on by an infant. HUGE thank you for coming and asking so many great questions!
