People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

If I were a parent, I'd probably use 2-3 sick days per year to do this with my kid. Teach them that life is about more than serving the capitalist state and all that

I've got a toddler and I'm already planning on doing that once he's old enough to retain the memories.

My mom would do this a few times a year with me. I loved those days. I’d help her clean the house and do chores, then we’d do something fun together. I miss her.
