There's an entire thread under the linked tweet.

Which may or may not show. I had to refresh to see that thread. (I loaded the URL again in a fresh Private Browsing window, and sure enough, I didn't see the thread.)

Another reason Twitter is a poor substitute for a blog post.

Twitter UX sucks pretty badly, especially for those who have not used it much.

I don't like Twitter's UX either, but to get to the rest of the thread you just scroll down? Isn't that how we've always viewed documents on the internet?

Nope, that's not how it's visible to me. I just see 2 posts with images, and then "comments" to those have new images but clicking on them does not allow me to conveniently view the next one but have to instead return back and do the whole process from the start.

You have to open the link OP posted here and then click the top tweet for it to open, then you can scroll down. Without clicking it, you only see two tweets with no indication there's more.

I only see 4 photos at that point and have to click "11 more replies" to see more, but there's no indication that there's more before you "open" the first tweet.

Weird. Maybe it's because I'm logged in, but clicking the link immediately lets me scroll through the entire thread.

Forth tweet says "so this happened" and is a picture of a wedding ring on a woman's finger. Next is a Voltron gif, a pic of some woman's makeup, and a fantasy corset.

I agree. But that's partly because people are use a microblogging platform to post things that are definitely not micro blogs.

Except a microblogging platform would probably work here, even though Twitter doesn't.
