If you asked me to write out in words the meaning I was trying to convey with in that last post it would take me several minutes and a whole lot of consideration. Yet, it was clear that the emoji expressed precisely the thing I was trying to convey.

@Felthry Best estimation: "this is a point the author is clearly invested in making, and it reveals a lot about his personal life in a way that's probably semi-deliberate, and tbh it's a statement that I find pretty resonant, feel slightly called out by, and will have to think more about."
