arielwallace: I hope you’re swimming in a sea of whiskey with…

arielwallace:

I hope you’re swimming in a sea of whiskey with an endless case of cold Buds floating next to you right now.  I don’t have a hangover today (though i definitely SHOULD ya jerk) i just feel very beaten down. I’ll be heading back to Austin sometime in the next few months & i’m gonna finally see those damn BATS we walked all the way to see and missed..you’ll be there though, some how. maybe i’ll even hurt a strippers feelings again for you. You are loved and missed a whole friggin lot. 

I’m reposting this from Crucial for Richie: | “this is probably one of the most tragic losses we all will face and hopefully not another one for a long time to come. if you knew erich then you knew one of the greatest people that existed in our group of friends. he will be missed by all of us greatly. lets celebrate him and honor him the way he would have wanted all of us to do….. laugh, smile, live life and be good to each other. 

i know some of the dudes in texas are going to start some benefits there to help raise some money for erichs family for the expenses they will have. i suggest we do the same up here. if anyone has any ideas to raise money please bring it up to anyone of us. t-shirts, art, coffee mugs, proceeds from bars etc… this is going to be a big expense to his family and i’d like to try and help them out with it as much as possible and i know that we can do that. everyone hang in there and take care. love you all.

DRINK. FIGHT. WIN. R.I.P. MY BROTHER. YOU’RE SO FUCKING MISSED RIGHT NOW.”  

Godspeed my friend.

So bummed

Use Twitter Blackbird Pie to embed tweets on your WordPress site

Originally posted at https://api.jonathanfinnegan.com/twitter-blackbird-pie-to-embed-tweets-in-wordpress/

If you want to display a tweet in a post you now have a much better option than uploading a screenshot or copy & pasting it into a post.

The Twitter Blackbird Pie plugin for WordPress by @themergency allows you to easily embed an individual twitter post (a tweet) into your site with a shortcode & the tweet’s URL or unique ID as shown above. It conveniently formats the tweet, the user’s icon, & background image while also including Twitter’s Web Intents. To format & code all that manually every time you want to highlight a tweet on your site would take up quite a bit of time.

The one issue I could see with this is if you were trying to write about or document a controversial or harassing twitter conversation, the tweets could be deleted by the user & would then no longer be shown on your site. I suggest that if you suspect this could be an issue, you should also take a screenshot of the tweet in case you do need to replace the once embedded tweet with the image. I have personally witnessed (and documented) many harassing tweets at other users that were then quickly deleted.

If you are using screenshots of tweets in your posts, do you also transcribe the text from the tweet into the alt tags of the image? I recommend that you try & practice this so the copy of the tweet will be searchable & more accesible to a wider audience.

Thank you to @themergency for making such an awesome plugin & to @alexknowshtml for using it on his site, dangerouslyawesome.com, where I discovered this. I’ve always wanted an easy way to do this & I’m happy to have finally found this plugin.
