Transcript
Does anybody else feel like tier red heart emoji has been totally ruined for them after this week? I did not realize until Wednesday that I have a habit of ending every text, DM, email, etcetera with a red heart emoji. And now I feel like a red heart emoji implies MAGA, and so I no longer know how to punctuate my sentences. I I guess I'll have to go back to using, like, an exclamation mark. What what emoji are we using now in lieu of the red heart? Because the red heart for me is dead, at least for a while.
