When Johna Ramirez’s son joined a wildly popular circle of tween YouTube influencers, it seemed like he was fulfilling his Hollywood dreams. But in the Squad, fame and fortune came at a cost.

Crushed.

Another incredible true story from The Atavist.

The political media, rather than serving as a counterbalance to this madness, have largely been sucked into the vortex. Journalists chase viral moments, amplify the loudest voices, and reduce complex issues to snappy soundbites. It's not journalism; it's performative outrage masquerading as analysis.

Social Media (Not YouTube) (2) Masterlist

part one

a bit nicer (ao3) - oihesmine

Summary: Phil and his tiktok antics

been wishin for you (ao3) - hahasami

Summary: Phil might have a crush on Dan. He also might invite him to a concert by blocking everyone from his snapchat story apart from Dan and 'publicising' his spare ticket. It's sneaky, but it's also his last year of high school and his last shot at getting with Dan.

Or the one where Dan is popular and Phil just wants to see dodie with him

Come Upstairs (ao3) - manchestereyes

Summary: @danielhowell: the thrilling true domestic life of dan and phil

danielhowell posted a new photo (ao3) - orphan_account

Summary: dan asks for phil’s input for his new instagram post

ephemeral (ao3) - howelllesters

Summary: In which Dan is drunk and Phil wishes Snapchats weren't temporary.

how we were (ao3) - Anonymous

Summary: From the first time he noticed Phil’s constant replies and comments, Dan couldn’t keep the other boy out of his mind.

I Became We (This Christmas Eve) (ao3) - sierraadeux

Summary: Hanging from the ceiling above the counter, in probably the only space in the store that didn’t have icicle lights dangling from it, was a glowing sign that read:

SANTA’S LITTLE HELPER

or,

Dan is an Instagram influencer, and the only thing he takes as seriously as his carefully crafted aesthetic is his hatred of the holiday season. That is, until a certain Christmas elf breaks through the walls he has built.

I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means (ao3) - skygremlin

Summary: Dan and Phil have a death pact. Or so Phil thinks, sending out a tweet after they finish going over their wills with a lawyer.

i will be chasing a starlight (until the end of my life) (ao3) - couraqeous

Summary: 'happy birthday to @AmazingPhil you may be on the road to death but the light and warmth you bring to our lives is as everlasting as the sun'

In another life you still would’ve turned my head (ao3) - natigail

Summary: Dan comes across old black and white photos of two queer men messing around, one playing with the other's hair, just like he did in a recent video with Phil. He gets caught up in the emotions that he would have fallen in love with Phil in any universe. He crawls into Phil's lap and tells him exactly that.

Inbox (ao3) - danielshands

Summary: Dan and phil start talking on Tumblr.

intermediately versed in your own feelings (ao3) - templeofshame

Summary: They’re down to ten days and Phil just wants to be excited. He wants to tweet 10 days!!! or 9 soon =] and ramble at Dan on Skype and go to sleep eager for time to get on with it. He doesn’t want to be staring at Dan’s Twitter, scrolling up and down through Tweets and replies, trying to decode them in a way that doesn’t make anything in his gut sink.

my talents include... (ao3) - kae_karo

Summary: Dan's whiny because Phil won't pay him any attention, so he sends out a passive-aggressive tweet

P H I L I P (ao3) - plinth_of_life

Summary: Dan needs a break from preparing for their tour and Phil's ready to help him relax ...once he films a quick Instagram story first

proposals (ao3) - vvelna

Summary: Dan and Phil plan a post for Dan's Instagram.

Stones (ao3) - ahappyphil

summary: On glass closets and strategically placed emojis

the first (ao3) - orphan_account

Summary: Dan is nervous about making the first instagram story

The Sexual Fantasies Outfit (ao3) - blissedoutphil

Summary: Based on that one instagram story of Dan being a hoe on main lmao

train of thought (ao3) - waveydnp

Summary: dan posts a selfie on a train and phil has thoughts

tweet and retweet (ao3) - gesticulationbubble

Summary: Dan wakes up to a 'surprise on twitter' discovered by Phil. Knowing the Phandom, he guesses he's in for a treat.

Or the August 1st/2nd 2024 Incident, retold.

[deebrisbyfish]

It really just is exhausting trying to keep up with all of these, but as it is a major way that I let people know this comic exists, I keep trying them as they pop up. Who knows how many will still exist when this strip runs. lol (Yeah, I know that I misspelled "Mastodon", but I'm pretty sure it's dead again, sooo... I'm not worried about it. lol)

Ariana Grande Poses With Tamagotchi Original in Latest Instagram Post

OMG! Ariana Grande x Tamagotchi. Ariana Grade is no stranger to Tamagotchi, she has given them out at concerts, and her song “Baby” was featured in the Tamagotchi Anime GO-GO Tamagotchi back in 2014.

Ariana Grande recently published a new post to her Instagram profile which has over 377 million dollars. The post has no description but features some recent pictures of Ariana.

The fourth photo in the post features Ariana in full makeup with her Tamagotchi Original! Ariana is a Tamagotchi fan and she has the Sprinkles Tamagotchi Original shell! How incredible? We’re fangirling!

A big part of the problem is that we are all, of course, recovering from the trauma of late-stage Twitter. We are taking habits honed in an environment overrun by open Nazis and applying it to people whose politics are, at the end of the day, all within one standard deviation of each other. And that’s fine! There is definitely a place for people with similar politics to meet. That’s what I try to cultivate on Facebook especially, and I certainly didn’t seek out conservatives on the old Twitter. The problem is that no one is willing to admit that it’s an echo chamber. They want to imagine it’s an miscellaneous audience, that their critiques of NYT headlines can reach some reachable moderate, or that their exhortations that no one should blame North Carolina and Tennessee for the hurricane damage just because they’re red states could be heard by someone who may indeed be tempted to blame them. It’s like a “seeker-sensitive” church, always looking to convert outsiders who mostly aren’t interested and meanwhile providing nothing of substance to those who are showing up consistently.

Not a day goes by when I don’t feel grateful that my formative years were all lived without the internet.
