Sometimes, you just gotta stare the world in the eye and see who blinks first.

It will inevitably be you, of course, as the world does not in fact have eyelids, but still – you’ve made a statement holding out as long as you can.

When you do this, you send a message out into the universe, and that message is “I’m not messing around.”

A vibe definitely shared by the subjects of these tweets, I tell ya what.
