I’m not even sure where to begin to describe the immense impact Black Twitter has had on, well, the world, really. From when I was a teenager, watching so many Black people mobilize to bring awareness to the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, to that time we all shared experiences and made jokes as to what it was like having Thanksgiving with a Blac...
I have been on this platform since 2008, before people really knew how to use it or even what it was. I saw it grow from a naive set of early users with lots of camaraderie, where people shared what they ate for lunch because they didn’t know what else to talk about. It grew into a place to have spirited debates and discussions, a town square on th...
We can’t seriously go back to Tumblr. It is 2022. We are not teenagers anymore. Twitter is really the only social network where you can just post into the void and it’s socially acceptable. You don’t have to write a long blog post like a Substack, or chat in specific segments of the platform like Reddit or Discord. You can post esoteric, almost dad...
I admit that I wasn’t using Twitter correctly until a few years ago. I joined back in 2009 and dreaded every moment of it. I was also in charge of social media content for the newspaper where I worked and didn’t know how to do that all day and also create content for my own account.

I’ve gradually weaned myself off social media over the past five or six years, either deleting accounts or removing apps from my phone so that I’m not constantly checking what’s happening in the world. I’m much happier for it. Twitter is no different, as I only ever use it on my laptop these days. But for all its flaws, it has remained an essential...
I’m nosy, curious and have a constant fear that I’m missing key comprehension or a hidden angle on a macroeconomic trend. It’s probably why I’m a reporter (and why I’m addicted to Twitter). Twitter lets me be an eavesdropping, unassuming fly on the wall. That was important when I first re-downloaded it in college and subscribed to get a notificatio...
They said the world was ending in 2012, and folks on Twitter have been waiting for it ever since. Everything is a crisis, and everyone feels tired. Netflix airs a ton of bad reality shows, but nothing is as addictive as Twitter. As Amanda said, it’s the perfect place to shitpost and get appreciated for it. Where else can I get appreciated for a shi...
