This following thread, by @alexdurog, may be a year old but it's so lifting and positive that it should be shared every week or so. This is for anyone who needs a little lift in their day, or life.
You are beautiful.
Don't feel like you are? Read below, might change your perception.
And when we say nonstop, we mean nonstop. Trade lawyer, @scottlincicome, tweeted "Nobody tells you parenthood is basically an infinite series of petty negotiations," and it struck a chord in many parents who then shared their own recent petty negotiations with their kids.
When you think of hell, you might not realize the fact that we've actually all been there -- the airport. The endless lines, the insanely over-priced food, the incompetent people who never seem to have all their sh*t together -- EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO DO SO!
OK -- deep breaths. But that exactly is what the airport does to people, all logic and rational emotions go straight out the window.
This. If you were to read one thread today, let it be this one. Writer and activist, Mark Greene, sums up the #MeToo movement into a series of easy to comprehend tweets, and the best course of action to take to make this world safer, positive, and overall better for women AND men.
Oh come on, 2019! Throw us a bone here! The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, was interview by BBC this week and told the world that he believes a female successor would have to be attractive. You heard that correctly. Rajini Vaidyanathan, the BBC News reporter, published the interview on Twitter and it cause a stir as Twitter users are calling to 'cancel' the Dalai Lama. The conversation went like this:
Rajini Vaidyanathan: "You once said that you would be open to a female successor."
The Dalai Lama: "That's also possible."
Rajini Vaidyanathan: "You also told one of my colleagues that, that female must be attractive, otherwise it's not much use...Can you see why that comment upset a lot of women?"
The Dalai Lama: "If a female Dalai Lama comes, she should be more attractive." If not, "people, I think prefer, not see her, that face."
What are your thoughts on what the Dalai Lama is saying? Do you agree or disagree?
When Twitter user tweeted a lovely photo of her mom with her new boyfriend, people were inspired to discuss the differences between a healthy Vs. toxic relationship and all we can say is - never settle for less.
Not that there's anything wrong about being single but all women know, when you're at a wedding, everyone -- and we mean everyone -- feels the need to ask about your dating life. Why?
Melissa Croce decided enough was enough. She was gonna create a brochure as to why she is single so everyone can sh*t up and let her be. And of course, the women of Twitter were right there to support her! You go, girl!
And just when you thought 2019 couldn't get any stranger, OJ Simpson joins Twitter. OJ Simpson has joined Twitter with a cryptic message, "I've got a little getting even to do." @TheRealOJ32 hasn't been verified by Twitter, but the account shared a video that appears to feature Simpson. His Twitter account racked up over half a million followers in just 2 days. We're not really sure just how to handle this news right now but we do know one thing -- these tweets are knockin' us dead. Pun intended.
Think you have a good story when people ask you how you and your significant other met? Well, you don't. People on twitter can't get over this morbidly hilarious love story told by twitter user @sixthformpoet who shared how he met his wife. The saga starts off sad (with his father's death), then twists so many times and ends up being the meet-cute story of the year.
