Though many laud Twitter as a vital lifeline for Iranian early adopters, it’s by no means critical to all revolutionaries. Some, like Lydia Guevara, are abandoning the 140-character messaging service altogether. After gaining dozens of new followers after news of her semi-nude PETA ad campaign broke, the granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary leader Che Guevara has gone silent and deleted her Twitter account. But don’t put your fists down just yet, her personal blog is still breathing so there’s hope that her vegetarian revolution will live on. After the jump are Guevara’s final tweets to her comrades before signing off, saved by Google for posterity. Update: it’s back up!

The granddaughter of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara is undressing for a new PETA campaign with the slogan “Start a Vegetarian Revolution.” With the permission of her family and a revolutionary spirit “in her blood,” 24-year-old Lydia Guevara posed nude, wearing only a beret and carrot-filled bandoleer that will hopefully inspire more vegetarians than her grandfather’s overexposed t-shirts inspire revolutionaries. |El Mundo|
