Ok yeah maybe but can we all stop writing our witty tweets in the same format? "normalize [abnormal thing]" is not only getting old, it probably is not effective at all

I doubt anyone else is thinking about it as much as you tbh

Tbh i think there are a fair amount that think it’s a tired form of expressing sentiments like that.

Isn't the goal of a post like this to get people thinking? If it's the same ol' same ol', it's easier to tune out.

Purely anecdotal evidence, but enough people telling me to normalize it has convinced me to tell coworkers my salary.

You're more than welcome to downvote and move on.

Hey, I'm just trying to normalize better ways to call for normalization.
