You’ll succeed at posting content once you realize people interpret everything you post through the lens of their own worldview
The problem is The White House memes aren’t even good, it’s just brain rotted slop. Absolutely 0 bangers.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say we can’t post banger memes 💥
Most advice really worth listening to comes from people who either live a life you’d genuinely want or one you know you never would. Everything else is just free advice.
Sometimes I ask my boyfriend if I should tweet certain things and he simply replies “well, do you want to not rack up your anxiety or do you want an extra $5 in Twitter payout bux?” And that, my friends, is what determines my next move.
