Does anybody else remember the Twitter fail whale? I’m not kidding, this was a thing.
In the early days of Twitter, they were very much still working out the kinks in terms of their programming and their servers. They grew in popularity pretty quickly and their infrastructure wasn’t quite equipped to keep up with it all, so Twitter crashes were pretty common. Like, the whole site would just go down. And when it did, there was this graphic of a whale being hoisted up my birds. The fail whale.
Luckily, those days of failure are all behind us. Nothing but success on Twitter now. Like these highly successful tweets.

If you stared at me doing my job from a distance it would probably look like nothing.

“You’re my insignificant other” is a pretty brutal breakup line.

4. It’s truancy, then
That’s a sacrifice she’s willing to make.
my daughter asked why she can’t just quit school and i told her it’s against the law and they’ll put me in jail and my sweet sweet child looked me in the eye and said “i’ll visit you”
