Some people think Twitter is a megaphone. Its primary purpose is for shouting into. Whatever you want to say, it goes into the megaphone and out into the world.
Some people think Twitter is a way to create and maintain a community. For checking up on one another, giving tips and advice, making space for others and overall community care. Somewhere where you can share memes with your friends, maybe a little more public than a group chat.
The kids started getting interested in making hot sauce. We’ve made a few batches (with varying levels of success). This one turned out… alright. The flavors don’t quite meld and it’s rough around the edges… but let’s be honest, neither I nor the children know what the heck we are doing. Maybe it will get better over time!
The kid who made this hot sauce loves it on his eggs, and I guess that’s all that matters.
Everything must be paid for twice - You pay once in dollars for the thing, and you pay a second time in time/energy/effort to get the benefit of the thing you paid for.
DON'T YOU LECTURE ME WITH YOUR THIRTY DOLLAR WEBSITE - A little sequencer with miscellaneous sounds, sounds are rearrangeable and represented with little images.

Me, waking up with a sense of needing to do something today: Hello?
My internal voice: Hello.
Me: Uh. What's happening today?
Voice: Pandemic.
Me: Yeah, right, Pandemic. That's not nearly specific enough. Do I have to get anything done? Are there deadlines? Should I be panicking? What's the metanarrative?
Voice: I don't know yet, I'm still waking up myself.
