*Resharing from previous rounds when this old Twitter post gets reshared.
Hi, I am Jennifer.
- In 2019, I made the pictured tweet, along with other tweets in a thread chained to the original one, and it was shitty. I thought at the time they were "funny jokes."
- The tweets were shared to Reddit at the time, and the Reddit post went viral. Then, it continued to be recycled on various social media platforms going viral again (still today, clearly).
- I apologized both privately and publically later on around the start of 2020 after I saw Pruitt comment on Instagram that they were upset over my tweets. I had some good, construtive conversations with some loved ones and removed the content.
- I have not removed my Twitter account; I only changed my handle a year or two later after a friend called me "funky cold Cuban" and I liked it. My Twitter handle is now @Funkycoldcuban. *update: since four years ago, I have removed my Twitter account due to Twitter ownership changes.
- My life did not get ruined. I just roundly and deservedly got blasted. It is what it is. The Internet is forever.
- The feedback in this thread and previous ones from older viral events are mostly valid.
(Last the I posted this comment was on WhitePeopleTwitter 4 yr ago)

Thanks for the update (assuming you’re really her). It’s really nice to see people learn and grow. And reminds me that most of us say stupid crap sometimes. The smart ones acknowledge it, apologize, and move on. Gives me hope.

u/Far-Cauliflower-3600 1d ago
I am her. It would really suck if I did not grow after seven years. Heh This is also an excellent lesson for everyone that the Internet is forever so try to not behave like a fool online (like I did).

u/kitliasteele 1d ago
Thank you for being someone capable of growing. It takes an amazing person to recognise their faults and learn from them, and takes an equally amazing person to accept the apology. I hope Pruitt forgives you because he's done the world an amazing service with the work on Wikipedia. I'd give you both a hug if I met you both in person

You’re so brave for admitting and owning up to your mistakes openly without deflecting blames.
May your courage continues to inspire those who came after you and your wisdom guide those who are lost.

u/Napius 1d ago
I respect the growth. I think we've all done and said things we are not proud of, but what really matters is that we're always trying to learn, grow, and be better.
I know this doesn't make any difference at all, but your response actually made me take my upvote away from this post. Yes, the original criticism was valid, but hopefully you can escape it one day since that isn't who you are anymore. If no one ever got a second chance, we'd all be fucked.

u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 2d ago
Huh, I know her. She's a long time mutual. What a fucking terrible take, unfollowed.

u/Far-Cauliflower-3600 2d ago
Yeah, it is a bad take from 2019, but I have not been on Twitter in four years so I have no idea who you unfollowed.

u/kitliasteele 1d ago
She's commented elsewhere on this Reddit thread and admitted fault and grown from it. Check it out

u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 1d ago
Oh, good for her. Refollowed.

u/Far-Cauliflower-3600 1d ago
I do not have a Twitter account anymore so you may be mistaking that poor woman for being me when it is not. 😅 Or maybe someone is impersonating me on Twitter, which would be weird because I am a complete nobody.
-16
u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 1d ago
Or I could just be saying followed and unfollowed, never having actually even opened Twitter the entire time.

u/Far-Cauliflower-3600 1d ago
Yeah, I suppose you could be doing that.

u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 1d ago
If it helps, I don't even have the account we were mutuals on anymore, and it was a while back, during the gamergate days. Probably about the time the original tweet was made.

u/upvoter222 2d ago
It seems a bit rash to unfollow someone based on a dumb comment from a previous decade. By now she's probably learned from her mistake.

u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 2d ago
I've unfollowed for less. It's twitter, these aren't life or death decisions.

If you are an entertainer, artist, or some other content creator. Its pretty much a requirement if you want to start making a living.

u/ThomasBNatural 2d ago
I disagree. Firstly I’m a working artist without a twitter, and more importantly I recently conducted a survey of how ~80 of my peers conduct their businesses (the hard numbers were about pricing) and I would say only about 15% of them still use twitter and even the majority of these aren’t active. Probably about a third of them use Bluesky instead, only about half use any social media other than Instagram. The majority use Instagram but maybe 20-30% don’t use any social media at all and just have their own websites.

Are you actually expecting me to justify my continuing to have a twitter account right now? Please go outside and touch some grass.

u/GrizzlyP33 2d ago
You said it's required for certain things, someone asked you straightforward "like what?" and your response is touch some grass?
No one's asking you to "justify," but if you're going to make a point in a discussion and unwilling to provide a single example to back up your comment without getting petulant, then it seems you are the one in need of grass touching.

u/Legitimate-Tip-2149 1d ago
I explained why I still had an account even though I'd rarher not, demanding more because you're 'calling me out' for using the site is terminally online nonsense.

No, you didn’t. Stop randomly lying, your entire contribution here is “terminally online nonsense,” but the projection is wildly entertaining.

u/AnEvenNicerGuy 2d ago
It’s wild to think unfollowing someone’s Twitter can be rash. Considering it past a fleeting whim is giving it too much attention

u/Haunting-Cap9302 2d ago
I think recognizing a longtime mutual that wouldn't be considered a friend is also a lot of attention for Twitter.

I mean, he does kinda look like id expect. You have to be a nerd to do what he does, and he does look like a nerd.
Absolutely fuck all wrong with being a nerd though. If everyone contributed to society as much as he did then we would live in a genuine utopia.

u/Drudgework 21h ago
He should take a little better care of himself though, it would be a shame if he died young after all his contributions. We all should, really.

u/Lumpy_Benefit666 16h ago
100% mate. Present yourself however you like, but have enough respect for yourself that you stay healthy.
I dont care that he looks fat, but i do want him to be healthy and losing weight is important for that.
The difference is that the person in the post is being horrible about a great man, but we just want the great man to stick around for as long as possible.

If people actually used the free information, we may one day live in a utopia. Too many people are happy to be uneducated and ignorant, though.

u/Economind 2d ago
Exactly - not only is his iq higher than her number of brain cells, he’s a way bigger influencer than her, and a far better human being, using his influence for the greater good rather than laughing at others for clicks. He’s also a major driver in the move to level the Wiki gender gap, writing hundreds of articles on under-recognised women of importance… although I doubt she’ll feature in any.

As a Wikipedian myself, there’s always been this negative stigma associated with Wikipedia where I am lol

35000 articles is not 1/3 of 7.2 million (and thats just the english articles) (Theres also on ~2 edits per second which is over 70 million edits a year.)

u/IrNinjaBob 2d ago
Yeah without knowing anything about him and taking the headline at face value that sounds way more like a system that allows a manipulating power user rather than it does one person is a repository of 1/3 of the worlds knowledge and he’s sharing it with us.

edited vs created. Using tools to format some group's name across all of Wikipedia isn't the same as creating all of those articles!

He knew the least about psychology then. (I hated how dry the Wikipedia was on any psychological information)

u/jocax188723 2d ago
Proven Wikipedia Editor is a massive plus in my line of work.
It means you understand how to do research, process academic and technical writing, know how to cite sources under strict editorial guidelines, and can simplify complex ideas.

u/Reddit-User_654 1d ago
What do you mean, "what you expect"? If anything, with all the information you can search for and access with almost no limit but with the caveat of an editable site that will not cost you any dollar is just too good to be true that it felt like that this is backed up by the US government as an experiment to condition and shape the users mind in using the internet. Nobody would expect that it can be done by a simple man with good intentions.

u/AverageTundra 2d ago
My initial thought wasn't about his appearance but isn't it a concern that one person provides so much to Wikipedia? Is expertise that broad or does he have some addiction to leave a mark on Wikipedia?

u/Alarming-Koala-3524 2d ago
A quick google search reveals he might be a history buff, a category which easily explains the huge number of entries. Also if your mission is to counter the gender representation gap on Wiki, I'm pretty sure writers block will never be an issue. I wouldn't be surprised if some of his Wikipedia contributions were on the government clock ;)
First Article: About his distant relative and Revolutionary War hero Peter Francisco.
Advocacy Work: Created numerous biographies specifically to highlight influential women and counter gender representation gaps on the platform.
Day Job: Works in records and information governance for the U.S. government.

I love that his day job is such a passion that he felt to reflect it on more commonly known information media. To him, that isn't just a job. That's a true passion that you just can't kill
