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 a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Yes. As Bruce Lee says, don’t be tense; be ready.
The optimal is to recognize that all situations warrant readiness for evil, which doesn’t have to mean actually seeing evil everywhere one goes.
I carry a knife at all times, because I was jumped by a drunk guy while homeless. He threw me down and kicked my head repeatedly until others pulled him off me. He did it because I asked him if he could spare a dollar.
But the other night, I was sitting at a traffic light. Three people walked by, two men and a woman. They were all giving me hostile stares.
I rolled down my window and said “Do you guys have a problem with me?” and they just said “No you’re just so cute”. The guys were gay I guess.
Realized I broke the rule of being ready, but not tense.
I appreciate your reminder, too.
