To celebrate Thanksgiving coming up, this week we are promoting kindness.
11/10:
“The squirrels are getting so chubby I love them.” In an Ozempic world we need more body positivity like this.
In response to a post about the Supreme Court rejecting to overturn same-sex marriage rights one user posted “We getting gay married tonight.” Awesome.
The SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior on Nov. 10, 1975. Exactly fifty years later we get “No class tomorrow. Getting f*cked up in the name of Edmund Fitzgerald tn.”
“Look out for worms today guys!! It’s cold but I’ve seen some out on the sidewalk, don’t step on our friends!!!” There exists no sweeter soul.
“To the girl who mistakenly opened my car door, it’s okay.” As Jeff Buckley astutely put, “It’s never over.”
“I love life!! When does it end.” See above Jeff Buckley quote.
11/11:
“Sydney Sweeny’s jeans are blue my genes really like how alcohol taste and my back hurts all the time.” One comment read “This is a work of art.” That is one way to put it.
“Just saw a squirrel stop and inspect the snowman on the freshmen quad was the cutest thing ever but I couldn’t get a video.”
11/12:
Chat, for those just joining, LARPing is short for live action roleplay. “Don’t be afraid to larp all the greatest people in history were larpers in early life.” I do not really know if this is true but I’ am not going to fact check it. The original poster commented “u are a larper up until the point where u arent.” I will take their word for it.
“How to get rid of perpetual illness no glue no borax.” Great question.
“Was about to study then my computer died. I guess that’s my sign to start drinking early.” And in response ‘hoohaa’ replied “Someone get this man his keys.” The Maine Campus does not support drunk driving.
There have been a lot of memes of the guys from Dexter who are always so suspicious recently. One read “How it feels knowing I’m gay but I just can’t prove it.” Best coming out post ever.
11/13:
“Who hyped for the Epstein files dropping [fire] [fire] [fire].” This reads like an album release.
Speaking of album releases, ‘fremchfry’ posted “Look for the gummy bear album in stores on November 13th, with lots of music, videos, and extras.” Lots of throwbacks this week. Shout out Edmund Fitzgerald.
“Anyone have study tips for dealing with unmedicated adhd?” Get medicated probably.
A photo of Peter Griffin kneeling down had the caption “When the test is absolutely cooked but you only got 30 seconds left on the clock so you lwk take a knee.” It kind of goes hard.
“Hi,” said one user. Another user commented “hi i love you.” This really is the week of kindness.
“I LITERALLY WIPE EVERY TIME I WIPE BETTER THAN ANYONE.” Calm down, no one was accusing you. One replied “I’m the best at wiping. No president has ever wiped better than me.” Welcome to YikYak, Mr. President.
11/14:
“There is always more laundry.” Someone commented “Welcome to being an adult, it’s a never-ending cycle of essentially meaningless chores. And taxes.” Alright Mr. Optimism. Another user replied “taxes? Hit song by geese?”
An anonymous user posted a photo of a car parked in a no-parking zone. The caption read “you know if that was a black pass they would be shot dead on sight.” As a black pass holder, I felt heard with this one.
Posted at the same time as the above was “Whoever just used four dryers for like 5 pieces of clothing you need help.” Something is in the air.
“Just divided by g prime instead of g squared might as well just drop out.” Rookie mistake, am I right?
11/15
Unfortunately Saturday was dominated by a string of posts about Bubba and Trump which I will not be including in this beat, however you are free to observe them on your own time.
