SSA Changes Communications Platform to Muskrat's Notorious "X" Thingy

[army judge]

The Social Security Administration said it will use the social media platform X to make announcements moving forward.

"The agency will be using X to communicate to the press and the public — formerly known as Twitter," Linda Kerr-Davis, SSA Midwest-West regional commissioner, told employees in a call Thursday, according to Federal News Network. "This will become our communication mechanism."

X is owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk, a top adviser to President Donald Trump and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency. His group has made cuts at the Social Security agency, which serves more than 70 million Americans, including closing 47 field offices across the U.S.

"If you're used to getting press releases and Dear Colleague letters, you might want to subscribe to the official SSA X account so you can stay up to date with agency news," Kerr-Davis said.

"I know this probably sounds very foreign to you — it did to me as well — and not what we are used to, but we are in different times now," she added.

Not my circus, not my monkeys!



Have you heard the phrase "Not my circus, not my monkeys" but aren't sure what it means? We're here to help.

"Not my circus, not my monkeys" is a Polish proverb that's become quite popular among English-speakers as well, and it means that something isn't your problem.

Some people even use this phrase as a personal mantra to remind themselves not to get involved in things that don't affect them! In this article, we'll explain the full meaning and history behind "Not my circus, not my monkeys," and offer tips about how to use and apply it to your own life.

"Not my circus, not my monkeys" is a Polish proverb meaning something isn't your problem or that you're not responsible for it. It's often used to set boundaries and detach from situations you may not want to get involved in, especially if they're beyond your control.

Take the proverb to heart when dealing with things you can't control.When you think about it, "Not my circus, not my monkeys" is a creative way to say you're setting boundaries for yourself. It's worth using when a situation or problem is totally beyond your control or doesn't actually involve you at all. It's like saying you've decided not to worry about something because it's not really yours to worry about.[3]​

• For example, say other people in your life (whether they're friends, family, or coworkers) try to pull you into their drama—or a conflict that has no direct ties to you.
• Taking a "Not my circus, not my monkeys" approach can be helpful for you because getting involved could quickly become a source of unnecessary (and avoidable) stress. Other people have a problem, so why is it yours to fix?

The proverb isn't rude on its own, but it can be used impolitely.There's nothing inherently rude in saying, "Not my circus, not my monkeys," about a situation, especially if you're talking to someone uninvolved. However, some people might think you're rude if that's how you reply when they try talking to you about one of their problems. So, if you need an alternative, here are a few gentler options:

• "I'm uncomfortable talking about this. Could we please change the subject?"
• "I'd rather not get involved in this, but I'm happy to talk about something else."
• "I know this is important to you, but I don't feel like it's my place to get involved."
• "I appreciate your opinion on this, but I have a right to my own feelings, too."
