So, briefly, a thread on why I still do my inane morning """motivational""" tweets. Because occasionally someone (often ironically from Irony Twitter) shows up steaming mad that I& #39;m doing this while grocery workers and other actually essential employees are on the front lines.

I do it because:
a) I honestly need to mark the day because otherwise it& #39;s all gonna melt together like hot plastic
b) I can& #39;t just tweet doom and gloom all the damn time, because JFC
c) They& #39;re often messages to me as much as (or more than) to you because I need them, tbh

I mean, if someone doesn& #39;t like them, I dunno. Life& #39;s hard, it& #39;s just a tweet. I& #39;d encourage them to block me instead of pissing and moaning about it but hahaha welcome to Twitter, I guess.

Please of course understand I do recognize my privilege here -- I& #39;m lucky to be able to stay at home and exist and not starve in line at a food bank. My tweets aren& #39;t trying to undo any of that. Have a good day!
