I could not, I repeat, NOT date someone who doesn’t eat vegetables. What, am I going to lecture you about eating your carrots so you can grow big and strong? NO! It’s too embarrassing! JUST EAT YOUR VEGETABLES

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

My favorite thing about Bluesky is that it has recaptured the old social media experience of:
"I made a cool thing!"
"I like your cool thing! I also make a thing."
"Thank you. Your thing is also very nice! Someday I may try to make that thing."
"I made a cool thing!"
"I like your cool thing! I also make a thing."
"Thank you. Your thing is also very nice! Someday I may try to make that thing."

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

A gentle reminder that new year resolutions don’t have to be about positive changes. You can commit to be more petty, seek revenge, and disrespect your enemies.

I don't make resolutions, ever since I discovered the two perfect ones years ago:
1. Become a more terrifying version of yourself.
2. Do what you already do, but more so.
