Sarah Warn

TwitterWatch highlights recent tweets from queer women, and women of interest to queer women.

Bisexual writer and activist Rebecca Walker (@rebeccawalker) shares a childhood memory.

Out musician Tegan Quin (@theteganandsara) reflects on the limits of sisterly support.

Actress Janina Gavankar (@janinaz) celebrates her last day on set.

Finally, AE reader Sara (@yarrachamp) shares her observations of the evolution of The View.

    I finally succumbed to the call of Twitter when I found out Kat and Lily had them...

    Yup, that was pretty much the only reason, but I can tell I'm going to become obsessed with it.

    i got it recently.

    im still trying to understand it. i dont like it that much. Myspace is way better.

    Myspace sorta has a twitter on it. u tell people what you're doing on your headline.

    anyways, Im following people. Tegan as well. :) she's fun.

    but no one is following me! lol... what does that mean???????  hahaha...

    plus i dont think u can reply to people U are following right? they can only know u by following u. correcto? thats why myspace is better! hahaa... u get to write back and forth, listen to music, see pics, see other peoples comments... Twitter is ok though.

    .. Myspace? 

    Urghy No. Seriously if you were my sister's red setter I'd have just slapped you on the nose. Urghy!

    Ok, I admit I was friends with tom.

    Bt no. It was a short fling. And we both moved on.

    Quickly. Generally cos he's a myspace whore, bt for me cos I got fed up with the really (and it's underlined for a reason) weird bands - possibly not bands, more self help groupie/individuals - messaging me, (and they're the less scary options) but generally cos stalkerish as it is I moved on to Facebook... 

    .. Worryingly it maybe leading the way on accepting stalkerish tendencies, though for me fb-chat is still too much.

     

    However, twitter. Any good? It seems like short hand blog. But I could be wrong.

    facebook just recently changed their homepage appearance and it looks very similar to twitter. kind of annoying. im on both. and i hate having to think of two different things to say in my status update bc writing the same thing would be boring. so in a sense i dont hate it. whatever. just rambling.

     However I've already kinda forgotten what it used to look like - Which is bad right? Bt I mean fb has practically only just changed (since it last changed).

     Also what's really annoying is that it seems to change me before all of my friends, so each time i update "wtf? fb has changed?!" my mates reply "huh?" which I admit freely makes me feel a little bit senile, followed by especially geeky.

    (and only one of those is good)

    Either way, there's still a strong association with addiction. lol

    I don't particularly care for Twitter, but I love Twitterwatch.

    What I love even more is that the Quins are funny EVEN on Twitter.  Witty Tegan and Sara banter: it's not just for the stage anymore!

    But I find myself forgetting to check, and because Diddy tweets like 50 gagillion times a day I get inundated with his updates... I normally just stalk people [[lol not in a bad way]] by going to their pages to get updates.

    I love Twitter i think it's to Myspace and Facebook what Google Chrome is to the Internet Explorer (or perhaps Firefox) and that works for me..as does Google Chrome!!!

    I'm having a blast following my fave bands and also a bunch of people from this site and its basically like AIM on steroids (gotta love the constant 'on steroids' analogies) i'm instant messaging the 70 peeps following me and having endless conversations I'm NEVER bored on Twitter!

    And yeah Tegan is so ridiculous, if you're a fan of her and/or sara (mostly Tegan tho cause Sara doesn't tweet) you have to follow her, like even if you just like her/them and not their music (i've actually found a lot of people are like this), you must follow her!!!

    I was one of those that created a twitter to watch just kat/lily and to learn that they're fakes, damn, I find that a bit disgusting. Whoever these frauds are, they must be messed up in the head. Way to scare the real Kat & Lily off the web.

    I got talked into joining Twitter by a friend at work, mostly so we could bitch and not get caught.  Now I am following the likes of everyone from Meghan McCain to Hal Sparks and it's just getting worse!  Being the Pop Culture whore that I am, Twitter has become my new favorite way to stay caught up and be entertained...lame...I know...
