💬 Thoughtful Thursday: Screenshots, Subpoenas & Sh*t You Shouldn’t Have Sent

Let’s cut to it: if you’re waking up on this fine Thursday with receipts in your camera roll and a pit in your stomach, welcome to Reckless Texting Season—also known as “Exhibit A” season.

You know the vibes:

• Group chats that read like war crimes.

• Threats with 🍷 emojis.

• Voice notes that sounded way less illegal in your head.

Here’s your legal PSA:
If you typed it, sent it, or recorded it, it doesn’t matter if it was a “joke,” a “vent,” or “between friends.”
The court doesn’t care about your sarcasm font.
We can subpoena your receipts. And we will.

Now let’s talk consequences:
🔹 Threatening someone, even with “lol” at the end? That’s a misdemeanor or felony, depending on how scared they felt.
🔹 Sharing nudes or private info without consent? That’s revenge porn—a felony in Michigan with up to 2 years in prison.
🔹 “I’m gonna burn this place down”—even if it’s just a group chat vent? That’s a terroristic threat, and yes, that’s a real-ass charge.
🔹 “Per my last message” followed by slander? That’s a defamation lawsuit, and your texts are the receipts.

Saying “I didn’t mean it literally” after threatening someone’s peace, privacy, or property?
Cool story. Prosecutors love that one.

Saying “that wasn’t even about them” when your cousin’s ex recognizes every detail?
Hope you saved for legal fees.

Sending a voice note full of rage you swore was deleted?
Plot twist: it wasn’t. Voice notes get transcribed, stored, and replayed in court. 🎤

So today’s energy is:
📲 Posting through the drama like it won’t end up in a discovery packet
🧠 Using “per my last message” like a cease-and-desist
📸 Pretending your texts aren’t full-blown affidavits

Reminder: Text messages have a longer shelf life than your excuses.
And yes, the judge reads screenshots, too.
