The Meme Makers of @THNK1994 Run on Dunkin, Vape Juice, and Antibiotics

Viviana Rosales Olen and Matt Harkins of @thnk1994.

The name of the Instagram meme account @THNK1994 stands for the Tonya Harding Nancy Kerrigan 1994 Museum, an IRL exhibit created in the 25-foot long apartment hallway of its creators Matt Harkins and Viviana Rosales Olen. In keeping with that ethos, they’ve always been interested in curating a zany and bizarre selection of female-driven celebrity content, from Sarah Jessica Parker reaction memes to Lindsay Lohan’s old tweets and screenshots of outrageous tabloid fodder. What keeps them going through the long days of posting? Viviana’s brand new credit card, along with “altoids, vape juice and antibiotics,” as they reveal in this week’s SEARCH HISTORY. To learn more about the feed curators of the digital age, we DM’ed Matt and Viviana to talk about the time Gwyneth Paltrow saved someone’s life, the Oz family’s growing political dynasty, and their go-to Dunkin orders.
