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:

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.
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.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
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.
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.
Absolutely no NSFL content.
Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

ETA: Okay, I've recently found out that this quote is not Vonnegut, although he did write something similar to this in a letter to schoolchildren. That letter was posted to three--ring's blog with her commentary posted below. Her commentary was copy-pasted to Facebook as being written by Vonnegut, and it's been passed around that way ever since. Proof here.

I'm fixing this post with proper attribution. I did do a quick web search before posting this, but apparently it was too quick. Bleagh.

Maybe he was neurodivergent enough to become great at each and then lose interest, never engaging in them again despite investing thousands of hours?

TIL I'm not neurodivergent enough :(

My interests will last a variable amount of time, and I'll get good enough at something, that people who can't do it at all are a bit impressed, but I suspect the actual skilled people would be like, Awww isn't it cute how she's trying. I'll get to an intermediate level, then hit my XP cap and just never get any better.

I'm a Jack of all trades and master of none.

(Which is oftentimes better than a master of one, as the rest of the saying goes, but I'm not sure in my case.)
