Twitter's gone doge 🐶

TUESDAY, APRIL 4 2023

Howdy, folks! Has anyone else been soaking up as much TikTok has they can juuuuust in case it gets banned? I've also been looking into this new platform that might just be a replacement (or the next big thing) as a backup plan. Because it's not like I can just give it up, right? You guys get me. Anyway, here's a round up of what's going on online lately. Enjoy! ✨

Doge-Gone Crazy

Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter, it seems like there's something new/bad/weird happening on the platform at least every week. Right now, it's the little "doge" (as in crypto or, for the real ones, the iconic meme) icon that has appeared on everyone's home page. It's become a joke — mostly because a lot of people think it was a delayed April Fool's prank gone awry. Others are cracking jokes about what's really happening at Twitter HQ. It's stirring up quite the convo, which has some saying, "maybe that's the point?"

Birthday Booty

It's no secret that Pedro Pascal is having a ~moment~ on the medium screen (TV) and the little screen (our phones). So it makes sense that for his birthday — April 2, heretofore known as a Chronically Online holiday — an outpouring of love came from other celebs online. But the most iconic birthday message came from comedian Amy Sedaris, who shared a sweet message alongside a very naughty little video. The comments are all in praise of Pedro and Amy's very spot-on appreciation of him. Allll of him. The girls that get it, get it!

In A Barbie World

Despite not having even come out yet, Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie has been obsessively talked about online. And — hold for drum roll — we finally have a trailer. Oh, and glamour shots of all the characters, which everyone is drooling over. And creating their own versions of. But mostly there's a lot of fangirling and claims of becoming insufferable once the movie finally comes out, which, same.

A Hairy Theory

The internet loves a good theory and the latest one over on TikTok is about how drastically your hair can change your entire look. Okay, it doesn't sound that groundbreaking, but the videos actually do prove it! From different hairstyles to even just minor changes to redesigning your hairline, who knew hair had such power? If you're still saying, "I don't get it," try this recap. Or, just head over to Twitter where people are saying: get a grip!

Try: The "Sleepy Girl" cocktail (it's probably not what you think).

Make: Chocolate chip cookies, but add a little ~spice~.

Watch: The cozy making of "sheep toast."

Enjoy: The rainbow to end all rainbows.
