Sandra Newman: When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.

Making a resolution to do more mansplaining in 2024

Thank you for your service.

actual tears in my eyes laughing obviously its because the hormones make me emotional or some shit. LOL

👍🎓

Thank you, for you're service.

Well actually…

What's mansplaining you ask? So it's basically when a man

Hey bud, resolutions are about improving the self- not others. It's a way to use the new year to help you be who you want to be. It can get confusing, but I'm just trying to help!

Thanks for the response, but I was joking

I was trying to joke back, but I think I failed.

I think replace "hey bud" with "well actually" and you got a winner. 😂

That's a good edit.

Haha, sorry

I thought it was funny...and the "Well, actually" would really give it a boost! 🤣

handle checks out 🫡

I’m scared now is this Mastadon

Sarcasm? With no Content Warning?

No content warning that’s also NOT WRITTEN IN THE CORRECT FORMAT.

“Mom, can you come get me? This party turned into Mastodon.”

Like an elephant in a social media shop

Always has been

Test: post a picture of a spider and see what happens.

CW: Mastodon

Damn. Here I was planning to open more doors for people and also be a first clapper. Am I doing life wrong???

WHERE IS YOUR CONTENT WARNING!?

Sorry! I'm late: WARNING! EXCELLENT CONTENT ABOVE.

Always was.

I'm on Mastodon; this checks out. Also you can tell by the wording there that I spend too much time on Reddit.

It is not

Doing my part: I have already pedantically corrected the grammar of no fewer than two retail employees. Was hard to find places open on New Year's Day, but watching the gleam go out of their eyes made the hour of driving worth it.

I could reply by pointing out that you missed an opportunity to troll the rest of us by mixing up “fewer” with “less” but that would have required me to correct your joke so I’m not going to do that. 😎😂

But then we could have had a bracing Internet Argument about absolutely nothing! Be the rage you want to see in the world.

As much as I would love to fill the Twitter-shaped hole in my heart by antagonizing undeserving victims, I’m actually kind of distracted by your user name. What does “twaddle” mean to you? I need to know if it’s that obscure pen-flipping trick that I learned on the high school debate team. 🤣

Inane or tedious speech. Just a reminder to anyone who has made the inexplicable decision to read my skeets that, well, you're getting exactly what it says on the tin.

And I am now following you, you insipid twaddler.

lol thanks. I only very rarely come across anyone who can twaddle (the pen thing) so I’ve spent my entire post-graduation life trying to discern whether or not it was specifically a debate team thing. 😆

Instead of posting nonsense like this you could’ve been doing CrossFit and improving your life, you know.

No, my people need me

"While you were posting nonsense like this, I studied the blade."

I was actually going into 2024 feeling like I had no purpose and nothing to look forward to. I can't thank you enough for giving me some HOPE. I'm off to find some grammatical errors. Wish me luck.
