TikTok just removed a story-post for violating community guidelines... The post was a 'thought' of mine saying: That moment when you press the home button by mistake... Cause I was halfway through a video and I pressed it and it refreshed the whole thing.... What community guideline did I break???

So… adults can be so cruel to children cause why did I just see a woman excitedly show her toddler a paw patrol sticker sheet and, when the little boy smiles and stretched his hands, she put it back down and walked away… I mean, we all do shit like that but only now do I realize how mean that is…

Just watched The Love Hypothesis and is it me, or the adaptation feels a bit rushed? There was enough to show the characters starting to care for each other, but it supports love, if we have to be scientific about it... And before anyone asks, I didn't read the book, no. #thelovehypothesis
