Should friends make friendship contracts? Keenan and Halsted talk about unstated expectations and assumptions between friends, and what happens when they’re mismatched.

Turns out we’re all winging it, as friends!

Not-footnotes:

• This best friend contract includes “to once in a while sit in a field at sunset and do Sudoku puzzles together” which sounds quite nice to Halsted.
• Once again we talk about Robb Knight, Mastodon Celebrity™️: https://rknight.me
• We never told you the joke. And we never will. (Unless you write us at hifriendshipmaterial@gmail.com!)
