I can’t count the times that people on Twitter have responded to my questions, like this one ….

… with an answer that ends with “Does that count?” Countless people seem to assume I have expectations for what their answers should be, which I don’t. I just want people’s voices and reactions to be counted, with no assumptions about what a good enough answer would be.
Every single time somebody asks that question, I answer, “Everything counts” or “It all counts.”
Everything counts, including all my other images for today.

I have been quoting this for almost two years now. I find myself thinking it almost daily. I ought to memorize the rest of it, but this seems to fit the times, don’t you think? And I love your response to “Does that count.” I do think it all counts for something!
