When sitting in a toasting circle around a campfire, there's a phenomenon known as the 'jumptoast.' That's what happens when it's not really your turn with the bottle, but you claim it anyway, for Very Important and time-sensitive reasons.
This warrants a 'today I love' jumptoast, despite today not being a Wednesday.
Today I love the internet.
Most of the time it's hideously offensive and thoughtless and cruel, but occasionally something really awesome turns up.
This summer, BIC came out with silly 'for her' pens (annoyingly implying that we girly-types are completely incapable of using Normal Manly Pens), and Amazon reviewers responded in a marvelously snarky fashion.
Now they've gone and done it again.
Even the notorious cesspool Reddit can occasionally be decent.
The internet is an amazing tool, and it's truly up to us how we use it. I'm all for making it a safe space to actually talk about important stuff when needed, and to enjoy humor when that's needed. To find like-minded folks to remind you to appreciate what you have. To celebrate the people and things in this world that aren't shitty instead of just complaining about the things that are. To embrace the fabulous.
Claiming a little corner of it is the first step, and I'm very happy that I have the opportunity to that. I'm learning more every day about what I want to create, what I feel like the world needs, and how to make that happen. Thank you for coming on this journey with me.
