I devoured this...and then I saw this comment exchange and I thought, give all your money to this man, for he is a genius.

Should I just call myself "non-binary?" Seems trendy.

I so appreciate you reading and commenting, and I get a dopamine hit every time I see that CeeCee has liked one of my posts. Also, I love it when anyone swears on the fucking Internet.

The only good thing about Telegram is the animated emojis, but alas the static ones will have to do here 👏👏👏

I just read your "Bake-able Poem - 20 New Fortune Cookies" - super clever and entertaining. Thank you for subscribing and for the kind words!

I’m confused and want to ensure I’m not missing the intent and purpose of this article. Is this meant to be comedic and satirical?

I’m confused and want to ensure I’m not missing the intent and purpose of your comment. Is it meant to be passive aggressive and annoying?

Actually, not at all. I don't believe in passive aggressive communication, so I was asking a direct and serious question.

I think if someone has to ask if what I write is (an attempt at) comedy and satire, they probably aren't my target audience. I see that you attended Dartmouth and that you're a mindfulness and yoga coach. Your intellect probably predisposes you to have strong and vocal opinions, and your vocation suggests that you're earnest, sincere, and sensitive, which are qualities that are antithetical to my writing persona.

I appreciate you taking the time to glance at some of the things you could find about me “on paper”, but you’ve made a lot of assumptions. I actually love satire and dark humor and sincerely hope we continue to hold space for both. Someone shared your writing in a group I’m a part of and I was quite literally seeking to understand you as a writer.

That being said, the way this exchange has transpired does confirm that I’m not your target audience.

Best

it’s just like… leave peoples physical appearances out of your poorly written commentary?

I too get defensive when people think my jokes about fat people are neither original nor satirical. #istandwithquinn in attacking perfectly reasonable inquiries from people engaging with their posts. His writing definitely doesn't reek of ivy league tech bro who thinks devils advocacy and overdone “edgy” humor is an original and productive replacement for a personality :/

I didn't go to an Ivy. Joke's on you 😘. Also HOW DARE YOU assume my pronouns when gender is no longer a thing. Also I hear Ozempic's side effects are totally worth the results.

I hope people don't typically respond to you in that way
