Also, I was just able to vote. So I decided to vote a few times anyway!! It can't hurt!

Can anyone help me here. I posted yesterday about a tweeter who tweeted one word to Adam..fag. This tweet came out right around the same time that we were getting tweets that Adam was receiving his award and his speech included the prase "fucking freaking fag". Several of you commented on that and then we were lost in other stuff coming in. My problem is that I may have used the wrong name for him as I could not figure out how to 'copy' and paste the original tweet.
Is there a secret to copying tweets?...I tried several times and finally just typed in what I could remember...thought I had the right name but either this person did get spammed and made his twitter unavailable for a bit...[doubtful he would cancel his twitter as he had and followed around 1,000 peeps and had over 10,000tweets out. He is a young black man and up till this one tweet, his recent tweets were very mundane about how bored he was and that he was going to bed. Then the nasty one, out of the blue.
If I had the name wrong [for which I am really sorry]. I could not find it when I went back either but I could only go so far back and the tweets were coming in fast and furious to Adam's feed. So in the interest of verity and fairness....how do you get tweets to copy and how do you find an older tweet easily?
ETA Good grief it is hard to edit your words when they go into such a litte box...I am not even going to try for this post as I massacred it so badly! sheesh!!!

Flailing is exhausting. Think I'll take a little nap before tonight's installment! TOTALLY O T: This is to fill time post-flail from last night and pre-flail for tonight. I was just talking to a Brazilian friend who lives in Miami and she informed me they now make Lidocaine underwear to wear before you get a Brazilian wax. I have no one else to pass this info to and I had to share it with someone or burst. I honestly learn so much useful info here! And that is a great invention!! And anyone who has had a Brazilian wax will understand the brilliance of this!! |

Adam is so deserving of this award, I think, because he really does embrace and support equality. I remember when he went to the GLAAD affair and made the statement about the need to recognize and embrace diversity within the GLBT community, too. I don't think he ever asks himself, for example, anything like, "Gosh, will supporting my friends who do drag impact my career negatively?" He just gives respect where it's due all the time for talent, for honesty, for self-expression, etc. - like when he gave props to the agility of the drag queen who chased his cab in high heels!
He is very clear and uncompromising, I think, about his priorities, his values. etc.
There's his (fill in the blank with superlatives) talent. There's his (fill in the blank with superlatives) looks. And then there's that part of him that's all about what he's lived through, thought about, decided, chosen, etc. It's satisifying to me that he got an award for that.
Particularly during this calm before the next storm, I am happy for him that he is sharing these moments with Sauli, with his family, with his friends. And I'm happy for all his fans who are sharing in it, too.

I don't get this...

You should be able to highlight the Tweet on your screen, copy and then paste. If your are running applications that use up your computer's or device's memory, it can interfere with copying. Other than that, should not be a problem. |
