This.
The girl writing it was was in the middle of all it, and she wrote it with the casual tone of "LOL, listen to this crazy shit that happened to me."
Loosen up a bit.
Absolutely, I'm not being facetious. The essence of our most defining qualities and inventions--love, loyalty, betrayal, racism, capitalism, slavery, technology--are encapsulated in this story.
I think that's the whole point of dark comedy.
The story was about terrible events told in a humorous way due to how absurd it all is.
Shall I make it more readable?
"It was that black fellow with the dreadlocks that Jarret had been enjoying a cigarette with at the seedy motel he was staying at. Naturally, I was quite taken aback by this turn of events."
Press X to "Let's go home, Jess"
Never said it was hard to read. Just that it's not a paragon of storytelling. It's a story with the pacing of sentences under 140 characters.
This is the sentiment that bothers me most in this thread.

Ever since I read this story, I've been looking for other Black Twitter stories.... nothing comes close. Wow. I followed her.
Why?
There are plenty of Twitter comedians out there. She told the story very well using Twitter and "street" lingo.
Why does it bother you? Is it because someone writes in a colloquial manner that a great deal of people have almost no difficulty interpreting?
The story itself is absolutely terrifying and is actually a pretty incredible view into the way sex work happens in the US right now.
The manner of telling the story, however, is entertaining--which I would hazard was the intention.
You're under selling it.
"She should be a Twitter comedian" is a different sentiment entirely.

Clicking this thread I thought the Shonda Rimes claim was a slight comparison.
When the aftermath of the twist happened I was expecting Huck or Quinn to show up to clean up the mess.
Girl had quite the adventure.

The medium is the message, man.
Were this same story told in prose over 30 paperback pages from a detached 3rd-person perspective, it would just be horrifying.
Delivered loosely with slang-filled interjections and emoji while somehow paced well 140 characters at a time? It is fucking hilarious and horrifying.
People have been saying Tarantino, but I see more Coen brothers as far as tone goes.
You don't need to be Ian Fleming to tell a good story. She nailed the social aspect of it. That's what matters more than fancy words.

I'm not classist, but I believe this story could have been more properly articulated if the writer had simply taken the time to phrase it objectively and with proper diction; she made this story public for all to hear, surely the ebonics were in jest?
story itself basically sounds like My Immortal and Pain & Gain had a chocolate baby, which is amazing in and of itself but even more amazing that it works with such a fucked up story, lmao

Jarrett jumping out of the window and getting caught by his pants wrecked me. I was laughing so damn hard. If this story is true though, that's some messed up stuff.
Do you have any more stories like this?
YOOOOO LOL AT:
swear to Gid man this chick pussy was better than when they dump the basket on top the chicken at popeyes and you get the biggest piece.
So we fuck a couple times. I eat her pussy for an extended period cause I knew if it was that good it would keep me cancer free and fit.
There are tears of joy tearing down my cheeks like the river that broke the levee in that disaster movie Vice City. Is it sad that I know exactly what he's talking about in that first scene? LLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, People aren't loyal AT ALL.

Yep. He knows.
All the girls I've dated from Tampa were nutty as squirrel shit. I marked tampa off my date list immediately after the second one.
Should someone post a translated version?
Part 1 -
You should listen to this story. This story is long. I met a white woman at Hooters(TM). I was her waitress. She came in with a big old black man. As a waitress we have to conversations with our customers. I was sitting with the couple and the woman tells me that she dances (aka strips). I said, "Oh yes bitch! Me too!" Then she tells me the giant black man is her sugar daddy and I said "Oh yes bitch! My sugar daddy is at home. I feel you." We found mutual ground over our "hoeism" and exchanged numbers. Both of us agreed that the next time one of us was dancing that the other would join. The couple leaves.

That's lame, it's English regardless. It doesn't need translated because some people are being subtly racist.
Tbh I did find the story a little hard to follow at times, but I got all of it. I found the language perfectly easy to understand, I think the biggest issue was that it was told in tweets and the character limit can make the ways you express stuff confusing. I don't really understand what the point of telling a story like this in tweets is when you can just use twitlogger. And yeah I'm not really getting the dudes who can't understand any of it.
Keep in mind that I do have issues with reading comprehension though.

You've genuinely not qualified why you think someone shouldn't be a writer. Just because the story isn't an incredibly lengthy one--mostly due to the medium in which it was shared--doesn't make the person writing it any less of a writer.
Like, seriously. It was wonderfully paced to suit it's specific medium. That's more than you can say about most novel-writers these days.
she told a story the way all people tell stories...
but we are not wrong. Slang is vital to the theme of this story. You can't just ignore it, it's part of the culture. Take Moby Dick or Treasure Island for example. They have their own languages to fit in with their worlds. If you were to swap to more articulate and professional format, both stories would suffer and lose their voices!
Nah, not even close. Most people are super bad at telling stories.
no, you're wrong because i never mentioned her slang in the first place.
it's a fine story. it's funny. she would make a great internet comedian.
Dude. She conveyed her own story in the way she wanted to. Casually, and with humour.
She expected people to be entertained by it.
Are you saying she's wrong?
Edit: Misread it. But what I said is valid towards other people in this thread.
