Well, I’ll never be asked to sing Christmas songs at the psych ward again
Apparently, “do you hear what I hear”, was the wrong choice?

The problem is that a lot within the industry are stuck in part 2 of their life. They can’t articulate one facet in part 3 which speaks to an infrastructure lens… it’s also largely because that part 3 of your life is very humbling. If you struggle with part 3 it’s quite telling

I once was passionately berated on my diet and health by someone who had turned vegan but continued to smoke cigarettes… it was at that point I knew I was in the Twilight Zone.

I wonder what even is in place to prevent the radical elements of Twitter appearing on this app? Not completely sold that leaving an app is effective when you have a group persistent enough to follow but let’s give it a whirl 😬🤷🏾♂️
