Why I’m on the pill 😊
Me writing this tweet: alright I think I’m finished making the worst tweet ever… What do you think
My tweet editor: pretty good but you forgot to use the word “hella” somewhere
Me: oh wow you’re right… Thank god I have you

for the uninformed i would like to point out the many layers of this tweet:
the op, whose name is currently "captain a.c.a.b.", is jeffrey cranor, writer of popular podcast "welcome to night vale"
the quote retweet is cecil baldwin, voice of said podcast, "welcome to night vale"
the tweet is liked by noelle stevenson, showrunner/creator of popular netflix show "she ra and the princesses of power"
the joke itself is comparing the tulsa trump rally to tumblr dashcon, which is a circa-2014 tumblr joke
which implies that all three of these internet pseudo celebs found the dashcon joke funny enough to like/retweet/quote-retweet im reeling
WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE WAS SCHEDULED TO PERFORM AT DASHCON YALL THEY PULLED OUT BUT THEY WERE THERE
Man, how soon we forget. History is being unwritten before my eyes.
Night Vale had to pull out of Dashcon, yes, because Dashcon refused to pay them. Likewise, Noelle Stevenson was there, & had to pull out part of the way through the con when she found out that she would have to pay for her hotel room. The Night Vale group let Noelle Stevenson stay with them in their room. (She has since designed merch for them + been invited backstage to their live shows.)
This post is not just random internet celebrities posting old memes. This is also a toast to the beginning of their friendship.
Anonymous asked:
I feel like the toxic British accent backlash has some origin with a tweet where an American was like “it’s not chips it’s fries it’s not x it’s y” and a Brit responded with the same thing, one of them being “it’s called a school not a shooting range” and it went viral for being a “good burn” so people might be trying to be toxic while also trying to mimic the vitality of that tweet
It happens on like every instance of ppl commenting on british culture like idk how long ago the shooting range tweet was but it’s been happening for years
The original tweet is in response to a tweet about Ellen Maud who sought out medical help and was routinely told to just lose weight. She later died of cancer.
This is something I cannot advocate for enough
let’s break this down starting with
1. the steven universe twitter handle
moving on to
2. what is pretty obviously an “i love you so much let’s fight” tweet because they couldn’t find a genuinely mean tweet about oscar isaac
which brings us to
3. the way oscar says “that sounds like a very well adjusted human being” in the exact same tone of voice we have all heard some shithead dude in a poly sci class dismiss an argument from someone who was getting heated, implying that he took this tweet semi-seriously, therefore bringing us rather shamefully to
4. i still would

Something to know about Facebook’s new “screening tool,” and advice/info that can most certainly be used outside of this specific situation.
For spoonies, the biggest deal is how this data, if leaked, could affect you in professional and insurance spheres.
Here’s Emily’s full thread, which discusses the details of the tool, and here’s Isobelle’s full thread, which extrapolates on specific dangers.
In the end? It’s another data grab. Data is worth money; don’t give yours away, especially not to Facebook.
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST this shit is scary.
did everyone just forget the whole Facebook/Cambridge Analytica using personality quizzes to gather data on people and then use it to influence elections thing or what
"Gender revealers" used 40X the amount of recommended explosive and could have destroyed a tank.
Tweet 1 | Tweet 2
Explosion that rattled several New Hampshire towns believed to be from gender reveal party
In related news, STOP DOING GENDER REVEAL PARTIES.
Let the kids reveal their gender TO YOU when they're ready, not the other way around.
I think it's time we place bets on how long it'll be before gender reveal parties are banned by law
For reference, 80 pounds of tannerite has pretty much the same explosive power as three Hellfire missiles. It couldn't just destroy a tank; it could destroy a building or a whole convoy. They essentially blew up THREE OF THESE (!!!) in order to tell their neighbors that their baby had a dick
cis people will say that trans people are trying to destroy the world while dropping actually missiles on themselves
OH MY GOD THJIS IS A REAL FUCKING TWEET
isnt this the dude who pretended to be a black gay guy and got caught replying to his own tweet?
