People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

“Self made” is bullshit.
There probably hasn’t been a real self-made wealthy person in a century.
Everyone got some kind of assistance. Whether it be the public schools, parent’s money, or loans, they all got a hand up and in the case of parental wealth they got a handout.
People constantly dismiss the social system that propped them up with schools, libraries, free or reduced cost school lunches, government grants, scholarships, or even a GI Bill as soon as they get rich they “did it all themselves.”
