There will be fewer animal videos for awhile. Sorry!

I post a lot of videos from Twitter but I was thrown in Twitter jail on Thursday night for what I thought was a fairly innocuous reply to a comment about owning trump's ass after the election, especially when taking into consideration what that orange anus spews multiple times a day. No threats, no obscenity except for ass. Anyway, I was thrown in jail for 12 hours, but when I was released from Twitter jail, I couldn't log back on because I needed to supply my mobile phone number, but "Twitter doesn't support my mobile phone number" for some reason so I couldn't verify that I was me. So I'm waiting for an actual person to respond to my help request which, according to the robo email I received "could take a few days or longer." GREAT!

So there you have it.

I don't have an account, but I DO bookmark some twitter feeds and go directly from the internet to view them. I just go to a specific tweet, copy the URL and delete the "mobile" if that comes up from the address.

Sorry about your temporary twitter problems, but that need not stop you.

Tweet to Rudy Giuliani. I don't have a mobile phone either, so I had to fill out an appeal form and explain I wasn't appealing the ban, but that I couldn't remove the post because I couldn't log on because I didn't have a mobile phone number to verify my account, and that I no longer had the email address I had when I set up my twitter account, and I really kissed ass when I filled out my appeal form, saying I used terrible judgment and was ashamed of my Tweet, etc... They fixed it fairly quickly.

Good luck! (And I love your animal videos!)

Bully starts a fight and the teacher only sees someone who finally hits the bully. The bully gets away scot free and the one that stood up to them gets punished.

Thanks so much for the videos over the years.

Well, most of them anyway. It seems there's this one jackass that's on Twitter that never ceases to annoy. Oh well...

they are trying to kill twitter in any case. I think this was coordinated.

Hope it works out soon. Seems like a ridiculously hypocritical and inane thing to get a time out for

If trump’s tweets were judged by the same standard he would only get to spend about 60 seconds a day tweeting

So sorry we may be without them for a bit. They are always a welcome respite from the daily horror that is life in this country right now. Good luck on getting your Twitter situation cleared up. Looking forward to many, many more of your posts!

King James version. Many more versions at https://biblehub.com/john/12-14.htm

Anyway, if an ass was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for Twitter.

innocuous when the Bloated Yam basically gets away with death threats.

Anyway, will miss your posts, but also, you can get them directly from The Dodo website or even from You Tube and just bypass Twitter altogether.
