Man, imagine if I had to cram all this information into Twitter.
I mean, you think I’m esoteric now… lol
Also, the ensuing accusations of “manthreading.”
I now have a Twitter (which is to say, I remembered the e-mail for my old Twitter), and I don’t understand how to use it.
do i just… start posting things no one has any capability of seeing in the first place? i replied to people, but it doesn’t show on my timeline and “joins in on already existing twitter war” is a niche clearly filled
I thought you enjoyed yelling at people that you think are doing politics stupidly, as a recreational activity? Wouldn’t Soldier in the Great Twitter War be perfect?

140 character limit is like a noose
“Your beliefs are a like a religion. Suicide and self-harm are still incredibly high after HRT & GRS.” “In fact, transgenderism is much worse than religion. At least religion saves people from suicide.”
“Interesting thought! Interesting thought. But no. What’s actually true is” and i have no more space
Ugh, you are so unimaginative, Ranma. All you have to do is post strings of (X/140) tweets and then get accused of “manthreading” by a shtty BuzzHuff writer that has no idea what your gender is.
I don’t know why anyone would think Twitter is an inherently limiting platform that promotes bad discourse norms by its very form, lol.

The heat death of civilization couldn’t happen before Twitter, but Twitter can’t be un-invented.
Twitter can’t be un-invented, but it can go bankrupt and from what I hear, may do just that. And the backlash is still brewing everywhere. Deconversions are generally permanent.
Houston flood mitigation info thread. Interesting read.
I feel like we could use a Twitter, but with a 320 character limit instead.
SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
Tried to get a twitter account, and about four seconds after signing up it was “We’ve detected some suspicious activity, can we have your phone number?“
Fuck no, twitter
“Aw, come now Squiddy honey-baby, you wouldn’t mind providing your number to lil’ ol’ me, would you?”
- Twitter, probably
Ain’t nobody gettin my number, I resent the very existence of phones.
Good. I saw Twitter collecting over eleven thousand phone numbers at a bar the other night. Can’t trust a woman corporation like that.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a sword is a good guy with a bigger sword. I have been assured this is how medieval combat works.
hell planet
How does anyone read this as anything other than evil what the fuck
You guys know that’s fake, right?
@silver-and-ivory: fact check?
@mailadreapta @slartibartfastibast
I admit, I got taken in by the probability that Bad Twitter Liberals & Bad Twitter Leftists would go #YassQueenSlay over this (totally viable), over the probability that JKR herself would do this.
The audience sentiment is there, but not the other part.
if I see this thing taken out of context on my dash one more time istg
ONCE AGAIN, HERE IT IS
fucking knew this was sarcastic
She forgot to put > in front though
>using implication indicators on twitter
>not using usenet quote symbols everywhere
“more than condemning nazis …”
It’s Twitter. If you use >, won’t the checkmarks condemn you for being a 4chan hacker responsible for hacking the election?
