Outrage sells.
It’s behind viral headlines and fierce click throughs.
So how can it be that I can’t come up with an idea that stirs vitriol for me?
Right now I’m passionately irate at Descript for not being intuitive enough to nail my video editing process in the first sitting. (It actually wasn’t that bad, but feeling like an idiot isn’t my favorite pastime.)
I must have read something I disagreed with lately, but I can’t for the life of me recall it.
Maybe I just don’t get that worked up anymore.
It used to be that receiving one even slightly critical email would have me second-guessing myself for the next three days.
But now, I just can’t be bothered.
I have enough to deal with navigating my rebellious hormones without adding to the drama by getting upset about OPS (Other People’s Stupidity.) My own is plenty.
So instead, I shall take a moment to laugh. At something shamelessly, harmlessly stupid.
Like this:
I love my partner, but a goat who rides a skateboard? No competition.
As long as there’s dumb shit like this to entertain me, the world cannot possibly be lost.
What’s the dumbest thing you’ve encountered lately?
Yours in love and play,
Steph
