Amanda Tapping: 10 years of Twitter

June 24, 2023October 8, 2019

Amanda’s first profile image

Today is Amanda Tapping’s 10-year Twitter anniversary!

Amanda first tweeted on the 8th of October 2009. It was actually Ming-Na (Camille Wray in Stargate Universe) who got her into Twitter. Being a well-loved actress, she quickly gained followers (3000 within two days!) and reached over 100,000 followers in May 2013.

Besides using Twitter to first promote Sanctuary and later her other work, she’s used it to connect with fans and co-workers and share thoughts as well as tidbits of her life.
Time to look back at some funny, inspiring, touching and interesting tweets:

@amandatapping

WOW! My first tweet! Hi everyone! I’m all a twitter. :)

October 9, 2009

Some tweets from #TappingTuesday. If you don’t know or remember #TappingTuesday, it’s something she started soon after joining Twitter where once a week she would answer questions from fans. Sadly, it was discontinued once Sanctuary ended.
Edit: You can now find all questions and answers here.

Something to make you smile:

She sometimes doesn’t get twitter. Particularly how to correctly reply to direct messages…

Weight is a ridiculous soul sucking issue. Embrace beautiful. I’ve never been stick thin. Ever. I think I’m ok.
I have energy. I have a beautiful daughter. I don’t ever want her to struggle with air brushed stupidity. It’s beyond insane. I choose life.

@amandatapping

There is so much love in this world. It really overshadows all the hate that we hear, if we just listen. Shhh. Listen. Nice. Bliss. Xo

@amandatapping

I’d like a cease and desist on media taking about “how she lost the baby weight” as if growing a human is something to be ashamed of. #rant
Had another body image talk with my beautiful 9 year old girl. Heartbreaking. Where does she get this??! Support the women in your life. Xo
Magazines in our house are popular mechanics and national geographic kids. So wtf with body image? It’s everywhere. Sadly. Love and protect.
Okay folks. Rant over. For now. Thanks for listening to Mama heart. You are all beautiful. Xo
