See also: people misusing the cry laughing emoji in serious situations. Luckily in this example both parties misunderstood the emoji so no harm, but I’ve seen plenty where it really caused offence!
A text message thread where a person talks about their mother passing away and uses the crying laughing emoji erroneously thinking it represents sadness and crying.

I love that the Bluesky starter pack for local authorities has a wheelie bin as its icon! Always the hottest topic 🚮🗑️
A screenshot of the Bluesky starter pack for UK local authorities. On the left is a blue wheelie bin, on the right are the profile photos of all the accounts listed in the starter pack.

How exciting to have the afternoon off AND have Senet magazine drop through my door at the same time?! 🤩 @senetmagazine.bsky.social #boardgame #boardgaming
The front cover of Senet magazine autumn 2024 edition. It’s a light green cover with an illustrated smiling face on the front, with pictures floating around their head.

I live near the beach, so out of the 8413 photos I have of sand and sea, this is the one I have selected 😂
Laura Yarrow stood on the beach, her hair has covered her face after a gust of wind blew it around.

A huge well done to Cancer Research charity shop for this inclusive measure for those that are non-verbal. I’ve not seen this before, but I like it 😊 #cancerresearch #inclusivedesign
A charity shop counter with card payment machine and a notebook next to it titled “writing pad: please use this pad if you need to communicate with us non-verbally. Thank you”.
