The cover of our debut album We're Safety Now Haven't We. There are 4 of our main CPSC social media characters - Copernicus Jackson holding a cell phone with fireworks on it, Handsome Ron a european robin wearing a hat riding a smoke alarm, Potato the dog standing on top of an ATV with a helmet on his butt, and Quinn the Safety Fox wearing a bike helmet. There are lasers and fireworks going off. A warning label reads warning, this is a government public service announcement about consumer product safety.

A Twitter user writes: I've often wondered what's the point of having two buttons if the lower one is not supposed to be used? Can someone explain this illogical behavior for me?

Someone recently asked me what's the point of having two or three buttons on a tailored jacket if the bottom-most button isn't meant to be fastened? It's easier to understand style if you think of it in terms of social language, not purely as function. Let me give you some examples. 🧵

I've used dryer sheets to get my hair to stay down! I'd just kind of rub it over the top of my hair and it would stay down.

Alternatively, if a ponytail starts to get annoying, you could also do a bun or clip it with a claw clip?
