2019 roundup: social media! 📱
Last year in my weekly Friday email we told you about quite a few social media accounts (and threads) that we’ve enjoyed following which bring good to the online world. Here are the links below.
Dad Talking to His Son // You do not want to miss seeing this.
History Cool Kids // Very random and almost always interesting photos from the past.
Eluid Kipchoge // Breaking the two hour marathon barrier!
Dr. Smashlove // Bursting with adorable pictures of doggos.
Nitch // Great quotes and unusual black & white photos of writers (and some celebrities); always unexpected.
In Otter News // Just otters. Otter news, otter puns, otter videos. The puns alone are worth a follow.
Brown History // People of South Asian descent submit photos of their own family's history to share.
Gentle Sport’s Touches // Please enjoy one of our fave gif accounts.
Renault Car Ad // This is pretty dang heartwarming (and barrier breaking.) 🌈🚗
Super Spiritual // Spirituality but make it memes.
Lineup from The Cut // Strangers are asked to guess one thing about other strangers based on appearances and small talk. It could veer into judgment, but instead it lands solidly in a place where good people have their minds expanded.
Fish Hippie // Filmmaker explorer, fly fisherman, Fish or Die on Animal Planet and Liza’s cousin.
Merriam-Webster // Super timely, cheeky, and a lot of fun.
TSA // A breakout hit. Yes, seriously–they have a million followers for a reason.
A few golden threads on Twitter:
Simone Biles // superstar queen goddess.
His eyes give him away. Lol. // Some days you're the dog, some days you're the cat, and some days you're the parent saying some sh*t you never thought you should have to say. 😂
"Do you have white teenage sons?” // taught us a LOT about how kind teenage boys get radicalized online and what parents can do about it.
Weird pictures of pets // This thread on Twitter asked people to share and the results are hilarious.
The Greta Thunberg Helpline // For adults angry at a child.
A story of how a dog cured a broken man’s heart // Dr. Sayed A Tabatabai writes beautiful, human stories about his work as a nephrologist.
