A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

My ambition in my 40s

Don't. Draw. Attention.
Just keep my head down, quietly complete the minimum acceptable requirements, only submit them when their deadlines are imminent. Aim for the equivalent of a "B" on my performance reviews.
Dress plainly, don't talk about hobbies or personal life, don't reflect or amplify drama, never volunteer my opinion.

I guess I am mentally 40 now.

don’t talk about hobbies or personal life,

Fuck that, I'm loud as shit (not literally) about the fun stuff I do (live shows, nerd projects, etc). Otherwise, no notes. We got chased by dolphins on a whale watching trip. You think I'm not gonna talk about that? It was awesome.

Pretty much been me from my mid 30s

Start to realise Corp never cares about you and will take advantage of any extra performance you put in.

Then when to times get tough "oops redundancies for y'all". "oh no we have to keep all the middle and upper management that put us in this position in the first place". "of course they make the final decision on who is made redundant, that's part of their job"

Agent 47, for this corporate mission you should avoid attention. Hide in cozy underperformer stealth mode.
