"What is this? A passport for GIANTS?"

FRIDAY, MAY 12 2023

Happy Friday!

I don't know about you, but this week drained me (raise your hand if you get the reference). My only weekend plans are to soak up the sun, finish "Queen Charlotte," and binge food TikToks so I can save some summer recipes. Before we all log off (hopefully early), catch up on what's going on online lately. Enjoy! ✨

Oh, Canada 🇨🇦

Canada's passport is getting a makeover which, I know, doesn't sound that exciting, but the reaction on Twitter turned a mundane governmental update into your entertainment for the day. The prototype was a blown up version of the final product, and the internet had a field day making jokes about its size. The quote tweets and replies are pure gold — I mean, what is this, a passport for giants?!

The 3-5 Slump

This TikTok about the struggle of being a girl from 3-5 PM got over 1 million likes and it makes sense because, as a girl, it's sooooo relatable. That afternoon slump has us all exhausted with no explanation in sight. The comments are all women feeling extremely seen and other people made TikToks saying, "BIG SAME." I guess until science can explain this away, 3-5 PM will be designated nap time. Bye!

Don't Look In My Notes App

Speaking of the girlies on TikTok, a new trend is forming where you expose the deranged content in your notes app with the caption "don't look in a girl's notes app." The notes range from mundane groceries lists to diarrhea schedules to a "2023 cry list." But some people are saying, "no thanks — I like to leave *some* things private." And I can't blame them!

Bigolas Dickolas

ICYMI: Yesterday I mentioned that a viral tweet — by a user who goes by the name "Bigolas Dickolas" — skyrocketed a book to the top of the charts. Maybe it's just because I'm a book nerd, but my entire timeline was captivated by the saga. Outlets even reported on the matter, claiming the user (again, named BIGOLAS DICKOLAS) is "more powerful" than the Pulitzer. Maybe true, but what's definitely true is that Twitter just did what book marketing execs dream of. Anyway, read This Is How You Lose the Time War because it actually *is* very good!
