Tweetweeks

I've been spending less time on Twitter since it's often a toxic landscape of people righteously calling each other garbage and complaining about literally anything. BUT. It's still such a great platform for bite size takes on various showbiz things. Here are some tweets we enjoyed these past couple of weeks for your amusement...
