Why is the hmm 🤔 emoji so judgmental? I love when people make me go hmmm. If anything, the expression should be neutral to positive. Why wouldn’t we want to think? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Mom asked when all this queer and trans stuff started so I told her the truth: Michelle Obama handed out pamphlets at Barack's second inauguration and we just ran with it. It only took her several seconds to stop nodding and go "wait -- you're messing with me aren't you?"
