where do tw/cws go?
tw/cws go AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR TWEET/PROSE/MESSAGE/LOVE LETTER/BLOG POST, not at the end after you& #39;ve already talked about the shit that you& #39;re trying to warn people about
tw/cws go AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR TWEET/PROSE/MESSAGE/LOVE LETTER/BLOG POST, not at the end after you& #39;ve already talked about the shit that you& #39;re trying to warn people about
tw/cw death, suicide, self harm, abuse, rape, violence, gore/blood, eating disorders, weight loss, homophobia, transphobia
if you want to tweet about any of these things (esp if it& #39;s a thread & if it has sensitive photos/vids) consider popping in a tw/cw & SPELL THEM OUT FULLY

spelling out tw/cws is important because while the mute function on twitter is a thing, it& #39;s (quite) shit and not 100% effective
putting in a random * in a word (r*pe) means it won& #39;t get muted. unless people have typed in every single variation of the muted word with *s in it

(just want to also acknowledge that people sometimes put *s in names like t*ump or b*den to try and evade trolls who prowl twitter through searching for key words/terms. this isn& #39;t what we& #39;re talking about though)
some cw/tw& #39;s are broad, and some may seem more ~obvious~ than others but triggers are different for literally everyone. so if someone tells you something is harmful/triggering to them, pls fucking L I S T E N
and don& #39;t you dare tell them they& #39;re being dumb/dramatic about it

try and be mindful of the tweets that you & #39;like& #39; & whether or not the OP is using tw/cws. because if you & #39;like& #39; it, it might pop up on someone else& #39;s timeline without any warning at all
it sounds extra/OTT, but a simple QT with a tw/cw might really help someone out

clock this shit moving forward, & call it out when you see it. no one is perfect. hell, I& #39;m still learning, so if you have more resources lmk!
