Why You Should Follow Jenny Slate On Twitter Now

Some people just really shine on social media. You know those people I'm talking about: The ones who seem to be able to squeeze their entire personality into every tweet or Instagram post. You look at their account and can just tell that a post is so them. I feel like I struggle with this — my accounts have no consistency. One day I'll post a news article that I felt was important, and the next I'm talking about how I'd like to eat churros with Kim Kardashian. That being said, if I could emulate the social media presence of anyone, it would be the social media presence of Jenny Slate.

Now, Slate is awesome in most regards. She's funny and clever and she called her husband "hot stuff" while accepting an award. But she takes it to a whole new level of awesome on her Twitter. While her tweets are very often funny, they're also frequently emotional and inspiring in a way that's unexpected. You don't usually look to Twitter for authenticity or warmth — the character limit alone discourages much in the way of genuine emotion, but Slate finds a way to do it anyway. She can fit a lot of whimsy and love into 140 characters. In other words, her account is a must follow.
