Twitter can be a treacherous place, full of bots and bad takes and people from your high school that you forgot you follow. But it can also be a bastion. It’s where your friends are cracking jokes, where you hear silly new stories, and where you pick up phrases that will forever alter your lexicon. It’s full …

To post cringe is to love thyself. Or so it is inscribed in the laws of the internet that we must abide by. Cringe is truth. Cringe is earnest. Cringe might be the only thing we have left. Being cringy online is like when a fish is wet. That’s what you do. It’s nearly impossible to …

Twitter is one of the rare places on the internet where you can actually gain deeper insight into your friends’ lives. On Instagram, we get the highlights– their scenic vacations, their carefully posed photos, their well-photographed meals.

Twitter is for fiends. Notice how I said fiends and not ‘friends.’ It’s not a place where everyone gets along, respects each others’ opinions, and forges friendships.

Twitter is proof of a collective consciousness. How else would we be able to read someone else’s words and relate so hard? The best tweets tap into something fundamentally true about being human. Like the best stand-up comedy, the best tweets take something mundane and normal that we usually take for granted and point it …

Twitter has the power to ruin your day in such a way that’s hard to describe if you haven’t been there yourself. It can take you in with its claws and not let you go until you’re up to your ears in hot takes, half-baked jokes, and controversies.  You can lose hours watching videos of a tiny …

Twitter is the perfect home for half-baked ideas. It’s not the place to delve fully into nuance, unpacking all the various angles and details of a situation– no, that’s better left to your blogs, your Substacks, your Medium articles.

Twitter is where all the cool kids are. And by cool kids, I mean an unsettling mix of alt comedians, politicians, bots, mommy bloggers, and people who paid for a blue check mark. Only a handful of my friends are still on Twitter, and we go back and forth being the only people to like each other’s …

Do y’all ever get tweets stuck in your head? I certainly do. I’ll go weeks at a time with a certain dumb sentence or phrase rattling around my brain, filling up the silence between activities.
