🧵

Thread Emoji 🧵

What 🧵 means

A cylindrical wooden spool with a bundle of blue (or any other color) thread tightly spun around it with the last bit held out loose or outside the spool, onto the steady surface beneath.

The 🧵 Thread emoji signifies raw material, the art of tailoring and embroidering, stitching, and a sense of being connected or threaded together. From a larger perspective, this emoji can suggest fashion too.

How and when to use it

If you're messaging your best friend, a trusted family member, or even your significant other about how someone or something is on the verge of a fall, you can use 🧵 - "I have a feeling her mental health is hanging by a thread 🧵 Every time I ask her to see a therapist, she refuses".
Similarly, if your post/repost caption goes along the lines of fragility, vulnerability, or naivety, you can use 🧵. For example, "It's alright if you seem to be hanging by a thread, you can always climb back up 🧵".
If you're starting to see patterns in someone's conversations, behaviors, mood sets, etc, and you're texting someone about it, you can use 🧵. For instance, "Every single girl he dates is a common thread 🧵 Every one knows everyone and the worst part is that he's the worst relationship they're all trying to get over".
Did you pick up a long lost hobby? Get in touch with a childhood friend? Or rekindle some high school romance? Are you sharing a social media memory of it or a text message to someone close? You can use 🧵 in all those contexts - "So glad to pick up this thread after years! 🧵".
