Fourteen years of posting, parsed. Every obsession, friendship, and vocabulary shift pulled from 23,719 tweets.
01 The obsession eras
Share of each year’s tweets mentioning a topic. Watch the baton pass: faith → cars & burritos → Valorant → CoD.
02 Faith vs. the F-bombs
As faith language fell, profanity climbed. The two curves are almost a mirror.

03 Got good at posting
Average likes per tweet. You started saying less and landing harder.
04 Broadcaster → talker
Original posts, replies, and retweets per year. Around 2022 you stopped amplifying and started conversing.

05 When you post
Tweets by weekday and hour (approx. Eastern). Darker = busier. Your quiet hours are your sleep.
06 Main character by year
Who you @-mentioned most each year. The friendships moving through phases.
07 Greatest hits
Your ten most-liked posts of all time. Click to open.
08 First time you ever said…
The moment each obsession entered your vocabulary.
09 Phone history
What you posted from, by year. SMS → Android → an iPhone era → back to Android.
part two // correlations
Seven cuts at what actually moved the needle.
10 Did cursing actually help?
Average likes on your vulgar vs clean posts, by year.
Plot twist: the “cursing doubles likes” stat was an era illusion. In 2024 your clean tweets (2.57) crushed your cursed ones (0.48). The aggregate edge came from mixing eras, not from cursing working.

11 Which obsession paid off
Average likes per original tweet, by topic. Cars dominate (small sample, n=28, but real).
12 The length sweet spot
Average likes by tweet length. The 200-character zone is your money zone.
13 Self-focus over time
Share of your personal pronouns that are first-person-singular (I, me, my). Higher = more inward.
14 Mental-health vocabulary
Tweets per year mentioning each cluster. Note the 2021-2022 rise (focus/discipline and tired/burnt lead it).
15 Posting volume & dark periods
Tweets per month across 14 years. Your quietest active months: Jun 2012, Feb 2024, Jun 2025.
16 Who you talk to vs who you amplify
Your most-replied-to people against your most-retweeted accounts. The export doesn’t include who liked you, so this is your outbound only.
Your actual #1 reply target was yourself (405 self-thread replies), filtered out above.
part three // voice & rhythm
How you laughed, shouted, and went quiet.
17 How your laugh evolved
Uses per year. haha gives way to lol, then lmao and lmfao take over and the skull arrives. You can date a tweet by this alone.
18 The death of the hashtag
Hashtags per tweet. From 0.37 in 2012 to basically zero. You stopped years ago.
19 Enthusiasm, lost and found
Exclamation marks per tweet. Earnest, then deadpan around 2016, then climbing back.
20 Two shouting eras
Share of words in ALL CAPS. Peaks in 2020 and 2025, your loudest years.
21 Busiest days ever
Most tweets in a single day. Peak-poster 2022 owns the top.
