the easiest way to stay up to speed on internet culture
Consider this an official letter of recommendation to follow Taylor Lorenz **specifically on Twitter** because then you get these really good threads / mini-stories that she regularly tweets out about internet culture that you won’t find anywhere else.

When Deez Links reached out to Taylor for a comment, she said, “tell ppl to just follow me because I’m too lazy to file!!” which means we officially now have the slogan locked down for future Deez Links t-shirts.
(P.S. you should read our interview with Taylor if you haven’t yet!!)
