Microblog Memes
A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I have an antivax coworker who also hates illegal immigrants ... because they're unvaccinated. Yes of course she voted for drumpf.
To be fair, that's on the saner side on the scale of antivaxers. As in if you don't want to put "very dangerous unknown substances" into your body but still be safe you need as many vaccinated people as possible.
Their capacity for doublethink is like a fever dream huffing mercury vapor.
You could probably show this to an antivaxxer and he wouldn't get it
This is why anti-vaxxers sounds like.

Antivaxxer "beep beep beep beep"
Sounds like Darwin Award
Except it's their kids who are impacted are the ones we feel bad for, not them. (and I know their own kids could be considered as part of a Darwin award through a strict interpretation, but I'd rather not.)
If they have kids that survive, they are ineligible for a Darwin. The award is about ending their line in a stupid way, not just dying.
which is why if they take their kids with them, they technically should be eligible again.
I had my first shingles vaccine a little bit ago, will get my second shot next month. I am pretty tough and get vaccinated whenever I can or should, and never feel much other than a bit tired, but the shingles vaccine kicked my ass for about a week. But I'll still get the second shot next month because nothing is more painful than shingles, I'm told, and you can get them in your EYES.
Found out I also qualify for the RSV vaccine so I'll go get that this weekend as well as my 10th COVID shot, and a little later in the summer the pneumococcal vaccine, and I got a measles titer yesterday to see if I need that updated too. Y'all delulu antivaxxers aren't going to kill me.
I got shingles in my eye, forehead, and scalp.
It. Was. Agony.
Luckily I didn’t lose vision in the eye, but it did swell shut for a day or so. Overall the pain lasted about 10 days and the red itchy blisters about a month.
I advise everyone to get the vaccine.
It is ABSOLUTE agony. Painful on the degree that birth is. My friend says her dad has broken a million bones and had cancer, and still says shingles is the worst pain he's felt.
This screencap is old, right? The UI looks different, and there are no checkmarks or engagement metrics.
Hence the context is very different, as this is back when being antivaxx was unfashionable (and not a political signal like it is today).
the date is literally right there in the screenshot
Oof.
I blame the… jpeg jaggies?
Lmao no idea what that's even from and you're over here analyzing it like true detective while missing the obvious date stamp on it.
