I still crack up every time I see a reference to "quiet quitting" because it is literally clocking in, doing your job, and clocking out. Capitalism did a number on folks that they have to do the absolute most at their jobs, stole their work-life balance and gave back nothing.

Seeing the phrase "post-pandemic" too much lately when we're still in a pandemic. We aren't at "navigating post-pandemic life" yet, we're navigating a pandemic and your personal risk assessment should still factor that in if you're traveling, socializing, working in-office, etc.

No lie, the number of "order at the counter, add-ons as you go" restaurants that clearly have a very specific process for ordering that their staff (and regular customers) expect you to *know* is A LOT, and very few of them post any kind of signage about how. This is amazing. 💖

If you're a friend of a #Twitch creator or even a trusted mod, don't flaunt or break their channel rules just because "you know them like that". Other viewers/chatters see you doing it and assume it's ok. All they see is behavior not being corrected. Rules are for everyone.

Disheartening when reactions to marginalized people saying "engaging with/spending on [thing] harms US, the ppl you claim to support" and the reaction continues to be, "I see what you're saying, but…" But nothing. Your rebuttal was neither requested or needed. Stay being awful.

This packaging is for allies to feel good about themselves, say something supportive and literally get a cookie for it. As much as I appreciate Oreo having a #Pride branded release at all, this doesn't feel like it's *for* #LGBTQIA people.

The weirdest place to be, as a "creator" is that we rarely have direct employment with companies that make products we use/feature in our work. There's potential financial gain but no for-hire contract. But when people are mad at the companies, suddenly *we* walk that tightrope.

While I'm sure the usual haters are champing at the bit to make their usual videos about the "woke agenda" tanking this film… It's a lot more likely that it's due to REALLY bad marketing, which feels like a choice. I only saw ads for this during ad breaks on streaming networks.

Wishing everyone a very good "FUCK TERFS" and "FUCK TRANSPHOBES" and reaffirming that Trans Rights are Human Rights and no one's existence should be debated on at all, especially not for political funding, voter numbers or what some old dude who lives in the sky, I guess, says.

It gets better, we had "quiet quitting"… going to work & doing your job to its bare minimum. Now it's, "grumpy staying"… going to work & doing your job to its bare minimum, but also not being quiet about your poor working conditions. We're working. What more do they want?

I still crack up every time I see a reference to "quiet quitting" because it is literally clocking in, doing your job, and clocking out. Capitalism did a number on folks that they have to do the absolute most at their jobs, stole their work-life balance and gave back nothing.

Imagine the friends of this couple who learned that they were *both* planning this for this trip and just grinned to themselves, keeping quiet, but vibrating with joy with every step of the plan and prep they heard. "Frien-DA" isn't for breaking NDAs but for stuff like this. 💖

I'll probably never stop quote tweeting this. Also, wow Brian, remember going outside? *sigh* Not gonna lie, I kinda miss my hematology oncologist, but mostly 'cos he was cute and almost always wore a bow tie. Though there was an unfortunate "goatee experiment"… #2YearsAgo

I did not even realize gambling was a problem on #Twitch . Amazing that *this* will get these big name creators mobilized to take action, but the hate raids and harassment had the same level of creators saying they didn’t think a walk/blackout would make much of a difference. 😒

You know what's "nice"? When you engage marginalized creators/influencers during a cultural heritage or history month that aligns with them. You know what's "great"? When you engage with the same creators *year-round* so that your one-month-out-of-the-year effort feels earnest.

Anyone who's seen "Blade Runner" knows this analogy works just fine without the word "obese." It was unnecessary. Don't @ me, I don't have the energy tonight to argue this, you know it ain't right. Your friends who see you laughing know it ain't right, too.

When people use "cancel culture" or "woke" in a negative or joking manner and don't realize they're playing directly into a white politically conservative strategy to reframe the initial meanings of those terms… It mostly makes me disappointed, other times it pisses me off.
