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

dude the '50s people just gossipied behind eachothers backs, and hid any problematic behaivor under a rug so no one found out.

Their silence on real issues is why generational trauma keeps going.

what you mean go back to that shit? calling it out is the exact opposite of the fifties.

Yes, that's true, but I meant about restrictive social norms. One person's norm breaking is another person's struggle for recognition

for example, a poly couple would be shamed in the 50's, or anything not heteronormative. I see what you mean
