Tonight I’m raising a glass to a stranger whose name I never got.
My car broke down on the way to class and I was standing on the side of the road with no way to make it in time. A car pulled over. Just a normal student, no reason to stop for me. He rolled down the window and said “Do you need a ride?”
He drove me straight to the door, didn’t wait around for a thank you, and was gone before I even asked his name.
I made it to class that day because a stranger didn’t just keep driving.
@RallyOnChain, here’s to the ones who stop when they don’t have to.
What’s the smallest thing a stranger ever did that turned out to matter the most?

Most likely to have seventeen browser tabs open and not remember what twelve of them are for.
Yearbook Quote:
“I never finished a single thought. I just collected really good beginnings.”
Twenty years from now I want people to say I was scattered, but never boring.
@RallyOnChain
Your photo caption in one line. Go.
Most likely to run two X accounts and still lose an argument to myself.

“One of me overthinks it. The other one just hits post. Neither of us checks with the other first.”
If I’m remembered for anything, let it be that I never once had a unified opinion.
@RallyOnChain
Tell me yours. Which one line survives under your photo?
Review: the Rally leaderboard.
4/5 stars.
Addictive in a way I didn’t consent to. Checked it four times before finishing my coffee this morning.
Hit top 4 once. Spent the next few weeks trying to explain to myself why lightning doesn’t strike twice on command.
Docked one star because it does not care about my feelings, only my output. Somehow that’s also the best thing about it.
Would I recommend? Only if you’re ready to find out exactly how good your work actually is, no vibes, no excuses.
What’s the last thing that told you the truth whether you wanted it or not?
Review: ghostwriting for my friend.
2/5 stars.
Client is unpaid. Client is also me, wearing a fake mustache.
Dropped my own “…..” into his draft last week. He caught it before I did.
Fixed it by running everything through something that actually rewards getting it right instead of just getting it posted. @RallyOnChain, basically my only functioning quality control left.
Would I recommend this arrangement? Only if you enjoy being identified by your own punctuation.
