Fuck. I used the word “kindness” in a tweet (oh shit, I did it again), and now my mentions are getting overrun with people posting, re-posting, re-re-posting, and re-re-re-posting “kindness” memes—with me tagged! Can someone tell them I’m actually a big fucking asshole please!?

OMG, I got mentioned in some rando’s “kindness” tweet, and now Twitter is unusable. Please, STOP! I’m NOT A KIND PERSON! STOP mentioning me, PLEASE!
