Joy Journal Day 3: TikTok

What's next for me? Maybe TikTok hair tutorials! First, I have to learn how to do hair.

August 9, 2025

Today’s joy came via TikTok, where my feed knows me a little too well.

It was a glorious scroll of:

• ChatGPT hacks I didn’t know I needed, especially with the GPT5 launch. Yes, I'm an AI nerd.

• Women in fake beards reenacting Hamilton like their lives depended on it

• And a music video mashup of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse’s “Hot Dog” song, performed by a group of men in all-black streetwear, looking very much like they did not sign up for this. It was AMAZING!!

  
  

And I laughed. Out loud. Alone.

Multiple times.

Joy, found in the algorithm.

P.S. I think I need to become a TikTok creator again…

if only to make some friends!
