2021 was the year I lived in complete denial and delusion: I deleted my Twitter account and then started keeping a running list in my notes app of “good twitter accounts” and checking some of those accounts on a daily basis, thereby reinventing a worse, more inconvenient version of an unable-to-post Twitter for myself. I put a fence around Twitter and then kept going back to the fence and looking at everything happening inside the fence and committing it to memory—I created a little library of screenshots. Why? Because I’m stupid and annoying.
Here are my favorite screenshots of 2021: some screenshotted by others and saved by me, some screenshotted by me and shared with you now. Some funny, some serious, some beautiful, some upsetting, all totally necessary to email to a bunch of people. Sorry.
