The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Very annoyed that yet again SOMEONE (me) forgot to eat for 9 hrs and is now realizing she's HUNGRY (again, me) but didn't prepare ANYTHING appropriate for dinner (cannot stress enough that this is strictly my own fault) and now must wander out to procure food at 9PM (the culprit is me and I am she)

What Tr*mp did at the UN Summit isn't just "embarrassing", it's a world power threatening nuclear war on an allied nation, in front of them and all allies No matter how much you understandably want to separate that man from the country at large, you gotta understand he *is* speaking as the USA

Very annoyed I went to a sportswear store hoping to find some sportswear (simple bathing suit) and found that no actually the entire store is sports memorabilia You're telling me all I can get at the sport clothing store is sport cosplay? Sport fandom gear? You do not sell.... sport actual gear...?

Folks should try to stay aware of how the reasoning behind the enshittification they hate pretty much always amounts to some version of "someone with lots of money whose job is just owning things wanted to make sure they didn't have to pay people with very little money who did all the actual work"

Writing fanfiction is real writing and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It doesn’t have to be “practice” or serious business, and there’s no upper age limit on it. If smashing blorbos together brings you joy, that’s the only reason you need.

In conversations about digital products and ownership, folks often seem to default to the money. A refund. But like.... I don't want my money back. I want to own the media like I was promised. I want my money to have paid the people who worked on it. I want them to survive. I want art to survive.

The industry is incapable of any self-reflection, but it should be obvious why this would be the case. Older gens saw Big Tech innovations that changed people's daily lives for the better and/or were at least mixed bags. Personal computers, internet, mp3 players, smart phones, etc. Someone who is 18 has seen.... what? NFT scams and crypto rug pulls. Web 3.0 hype that went nowhere. Gig economy apps that exploit workers and still charge too much for poor service. Zuckerberg's metaverse. A bunch of crap that massively enriched some billionaires without seeming to improve people's lives. Why should any young person look at big tech companies hyping GenAI—who were all pushing metaverse/crypto/etc. a few years ago—and think it would help them?
