Darcie Wilder (b. 1990) is the Twitter account @333333333433333. She graduated from SUNY Purchase Film Conservatory with a BFA in 2012.

Literally Show Me A Healthy Person is her second book. She was born in New York, where she still lives and will die.
The permission to be fed up with each other is the highest mark, to me, of intimacy and trust.
The casual anonymity is another facet, the adjacent face of the diamond of intimacy, the way small talk and cute sayings on mugs of coffee are joyously cynical, like how standard it is for spouses to joke about hating each other, or for parents to mockingly roll their eyes about their kids.
