Monica Lewinsky is brilliant at Twitter.

Anyone who's ever stumbled across the anti-bullying activist's feed will know this. Despite the fact she's endured horrendous trauma and public shaming over the years since she was embroiled in former President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial, Lewinsky isn't afraid to make jokes about her experiences.

“As a woman, what is vital is how social media can be used to amplify our voices or reclaim our narratives,” Lewinsky previously told Mashable. “There is something powerful about direct communication — not being mediated through another’s lens.”

Here are a couple of examples of times Lewinsky has reclaimed her own narrative through her viral tweets.

Well, on Sunday, she did it again. It started when author Adam Grant asked a question about "the worst career advice" people had received.

Lewinsky had this reply.

At the time of writing, that tweet has around 37,000 shares and 165,000 favourites.

If that's not a mic drop moment, we don't know what is.
