    the other week, as ⭐️s became ❤️s, and I felt this desire to just... have an opinion and talk with friends, not a Hot Take
  79. …in reply to @v21
    that's the joke, right? "Hot Take" is lampshading the way we can't simply have an opinion, but have to optimize selling & packaging it
  80. …in reply to @v21
    (and the irony of carefully phrasing that tweet was not lost on me)
  81. …in reply to @jazzmickle
    @jmickle_ you can have nuance either way! it's just... the performative aspect, the careful cultivation of a parasocial relationship.
  82. …in reply to @v21

    @jawsew Man Has Trouble Expressing Emotions Sometimes : News At Eleven.
  89. …in reply to @jericawebber
    @jawsew I think so? Hard to tell, though, given how occasional it can be. I don't think it's in any way "truer" than usual behaviour, though
  90. …in reply to @jericawebber
    @jawsew the problem for me is getting angrier at a thing, not communicating it, and so not giving a signal to stop.
  91. …in reply to @v21
    @jawsew so it looks like I've just blown up, unexpectedly and unreasonably, at a small thing. And, of course, I have.
  92. …in reply to @jericawebber
    @jawsew might well be true. who doesn't do either of those things, though? even realizing yr own emotions is hard enough, let alone others.
  93. …in reply to @jericawebber
    @jawsew i have found being in a poly relationship, w/ the focus they traditionally have on being very explicit about feelings, very healthy
