This is very important for women right now in the US. Just know anything you do on your phone will be used against you after our rights are taken away. This isn't only about abortion. This is also about our right to privacy. We will no longer have that right. Missouri has already been tracking period apps of their constituents. States will be criminalizing birth control too so be careful where you call your prescriptions in from. Arizona is talking about criminalizing condoms even it's getting that insane.
The internet has an endless supply of information for virtually anything, and there are no questions about it. But sometimes, it can start to feel full of negativity. Just think about it, every time we open social media platforms like Twitter to casually scroll our worries away, we seem to be bombarded with bleak headlines, fiery political debates, and troubling amounts of fake news.
Social media should indeed be a free-speech space where ideas are discussed and publicly disputed, but we need to balance the scales with a dash of positivity to avoid constant doomscrolling. Luckily, there has been a positive shift over the last few years where Twitter has also become the perfect arena for many online comedians to share jokes to make our days a little brighter. Hilarious outlets like Myrna's where she just tells her followers about life has become a breath of fresh air when the gloom online seems overwhelming.
Even though the God-fearing elderly lady behind all the life advice has been conquering Twitter from the handle @PearlsFromMyrna for quite some time now, no one quite knows whether Myrna Tellingheusen is a real person or a character dreamed up by some comedian.
Myrna’s Twitter bio says she’s a "retired executive secretary for Mr. Stanley Bogenshoots, Senior Vice President at Hughes Aircraft. Living the good life in Southern California," and, most importantly, "Loves God." She also claims to live in Vaca Muerta Estates, a community which appears to be quite fake. So we thought it would be interesting to check who dear Myrna had deemed worthy to follow on the platform.
It won’t be surprising to hear that dear nephew Lyle Tellingheusen was the first one on the list. His location is set to "Aunt Myrna’s mauve guestroom" and his Twitter bio reads: "Temporary part time parking valet. Full time Stay at Home Nephew." Another user that caught our attention was Clarence CJ Jackson, the Postal Carrier for Vaca Muerta Estates who is fairly active on the platform. Well, living in such an active and amusing neighborhood sure gives the mailman plenty of things to say.
There are many more inhabitants in the Vaca Muerta Estates who interact with one another on Twitter to some extent. However, there’s no way of knowing whether everything shared by the Vaca Muerta Estates population is real, or if the person behind this persona has decided to create their own virtual world. While the truth remains a mystery, Myrna’s hilarious insights can still charm and bring some genuine laughs to nearly anyone.
Moreover, the grey-haired grandma has collected a vast amount of fans simply by sharing her snarky, un-sugar-coated approach to life. Over 152K people enjoy reading her insightful wisdom bites on her neighbors, her church friends, her nephew Lyle, and other very serious topics.
A few years back, Myrna told Bored Panda that she exists "in a modular home park in Rainbow, California, a sleepy little town just north of San Diego, and just south of Temecula."
"My story is long and fascinating. However, the short version of this story is I want to make social media fun," she added. "There is too much acrimony in the world right now, and people need to better their sense of humor."
The internet’s beloved retiree also revealed in a previous interview that after a rewarding career at Hughes Aircraft company, she decided to use her organizational skills at her retirement community of Vaca Muerta Estates and is a chair at the First Presbyterian Church, "where she also serves as a member of the Handbell Choir."
She revealed that she started her internet presence on Twitter when her nephew Lyle "downshifted The Twitter onto my computer to distract me from writing tersely worded letters to our newspaper's editor." As time went by, the grandma realized that she "no longer needs to be invited to dinner parties to rearrange people’s furniture."
"I can still provide my sage, no-nonsense advice to people who are clamoring for a sense of decorum in a stressful world." But while the old lady has a huge audience following her every tweet, she still remains "true to myself in every sense of the word."
When it comes to the inspiration and strength to come up with such charming and witty wisdom to share with every lost soul out there, it all comes from the Holy Bible. "You will find no greater book that gives purpose and meaning when life sometimes seems hopeless," she said.
Myrna also considers herself a student of life, since "through careful observation from my binoculars, I gauge what’s happening around my neighborhood, whether its potholes in the Cheesecake Factory parking lot, Doris throwing beer cans on my yard, or Carol substituting Cool Whip for heavy cream with Cool Whip."
The grandma is confident that she knows all the right answers to many of society’s problems, and she’d help everyone "if people would only heed my advice." Myrna told Bored Panda she wishes she could tweet thousands of times a day, but, unfortunately, "casseroles don't make themselves."
it's sad to me how many people didn't understand it's a joke page and not an actual old lady. they keep saying she's rude and has no sense of humor b/c the joke has gone right over their heads.
im pretty sure half of everyone had to use google to search up the things she was talking about
Feels like someone is pretending to be a grandma, rather than an actual grandma.
