Lemony Snicket's Advice on Writing a Nice Thank-You Note

1. Do not start with the thank you.

2. Start with any other sentence. If you first say, “Thank you for the nice sweater,” you can’t imagine what to write next. Say, “It was so wonderful to come home from school to find this nice sweater. Thank you for thinking of me on Arbor Day.”

3. Then you’re done.

I recommend learning how to write a very good thank-you note. A child who can write a nice thank-you note can turn into a cocaine dealer five years later and be remembered as the child who wrote nice thank-you notes.

SNL saw people saying we shouldn’t joke about Trump right now and said, “Noted. Here’s 10 different Trump COVID jokes,” and I truly love that for them.

omg apparently artificial banana flavoring is based on the gros michel banana which was wiped out by a banana plague in the 50s and the banana we eat today is a totally different thing called the cavendish and thats why banana candy doesnt taste like bananas do you know how lied to i feel. like there was a fucking banana apocalypse and no one told me about it until now

To My American Followers

We need to stop and think that this issue isn’t JUST about mass shootings. Deaths by guns are awful, atrocious, and easily preventable. 

Approx. 63% of gun deaths are suicides. A large number of suicides are impulsive, spur of the moment decisions. 

If you take away someone’s gun they have more time to stop, to think before they hurt themselves or other people. 

More black men die from gun violence than any other demographic. A great many of the other gun deaths are domestic violence issues. Approx. 50 women die every month because they were shot by a partner. 

I implore the younger generation, do not stop fighting, do not be complacent. To my younger followers, this should be one of the fights that you carry with you as you grow older, as you find your voice. 

Every single issue you care about - Black Lives Matter, the deaths of gay and trans people in the US, domestic violence - all of these issues would be affected positively be keeping guns out of the hands of people who intend to cause.

To the younger folks out there especially - you’ve grown up in a time where guns are accepted, where guns are common, where guns are the status quo and mass shootings happen all the time. 

But that doesn’t have to be our future - your future. 

You have a powerful voice. USE IT TO CHANGE THINGS.
