Mastodon #mansplaing gold level: a guy explains me that articles can be read. 🤣😂🤣

This is what I work for my whole life as a journalist: that people discover they can READ articles. And do it. Or as my first trainer once said: "Be aware that people want to read your stuff before they wrap stinky fish in that paper!"

The Golden Stinky Fish 🖕🏻 goes to #mansplainers who try to explain women their profession. And these guys have never ever worked even one single day in that job. 🤢🤮

@NatureMC Articles can be read? You don't say ... 🙄

@Ardeija I think it's similar to books: some people use them for insulating walls or as door stoppers. But there are rumours that you can open and read them. 😂

I've heard from and old bearded person, that if you open one up, there are words inside, words!
Another very popular usage of a book is TP substitution

Nah, didn't mean anything like that... This was a not very clever pot shot at Hamlet. Forget I've said anything ;)
