I don't trust computers. I assume anything I put on a computer will be read by my worst enemies.
But things are bad enough, I finally installed Signal.

The one time he achieved Down, however, he scrambled like mad to achieve Up. #petrats #rats
No, no, young (and probably male, probably white) writer, those women are not robbing you of your success.
If you are not successful, it's because you're either not a good enough writer, or because you haven't written enough. Probably both.
It's not enough to be a better writer than Robert A Heinlein. Novels improve every year. You must become a better writer than N K Jemisin.

#writing a period piece set in a time I lived through is weirdly difficult.
I just wrote "black as Oliver North's soul." Do people remember North? Do they remember why he sucks? Do they remember the October Surprise?
