    It's only tear gas if it comes from the Têar region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.

    Trans women are women.

    Black lives matter.

    Truly the lowest bar. Come on.

    Thank you to creators like @tonynorthrup @tldtoday @reneritchie @ijustine @EmperorBigD and all those who aren’t afraid to lose followers/subs

    To do what is right and to do what is in their hearts.

    Integrity is doing that when it’s not convenient. Thank you 🙏🏾

    I was annoyed that Mint Mobile doesn't give me logs on my data usage history so I hacked together a script that logs in and fetches my usage data from their site. It's just two API calls that return JSON so it was super easy. The login call returns a token, and there's another call that returns the used and remaining data in megabytes. I don't know why I didn't set this up years ago!

    Understand that the call to abolish police is also a call to allocate adequate funds and resources to mental health services, livable wages, food security and all other societal factors which facilitate the ‘crimes’ you believe we need police protection from.

    I worked with people with mental illness and violent offenders as a therapist for years. I was trained in de-escalation and in the proper way to physically restrain clients who were endangering themselves or others. I carried no weapons. And I was just a fucking therapist.

    There will be a wave of financial settlements that local governments will need to pay due to widespread police brutality & misconduct over the last few weeks.

    Taxpayers should not be footing the bill. Responsibility needs to lie with those perpetrating these harms.

    I was arrested on June 2nd, 2020 with around 100 other protesters in Los Angeles. While I was ziptied and facing the wall, two male officers joked behind me about my gender presentation: "Do you think it's a female? Are you sure?"

    Queer eye but it’s 5 black women who come in and tell police forces how to undo systemic racism in the justice system. Also they get paid double whatever the fab 5 gets paid. #BlackLivesMatter

    The pipeline problem does NOT exist. 10 yrs ago I was a CS undergrad getting told I wasn’t smart enough, while that same bitch ass school was hanging fliers for “girls in STEM” scholarships. Kiss my entire black ass if you think it’s not your own fault you can’t find black talent

    Hi if you have white privilege you can't renounce or ditch it.

    Entire systems and structures have been set up to give you unearned advantages. Many of the conditions of yr life, education, career, health, home, etc have unearned advantages.

    Face this, AND do antiracist work.

    Black Lives Matter.

    That's an objective truth. It baffles me that it is considered a controversial/political statement in an industry that prides itself on logic and facts.

    #TechTwitter, we need to do better.

    As @danielpunkass described, this is a solid move. You literally can’t do anything else in For You, Browse, or Radio except listen to this Beats1 station. Love this from @AppleMusic

    And for the complainers, you can still search and access your library. Calm down.

    People are saying that whitelist/blacklist are etymologically not discriminatory and have nothing to do with races. You're probably correct, but there are modern connotations, so the etymology doesn't matter.

    Everyone in the tech industry has come across the terms "whitelist"(desirable) and "blacklist"(undesirable). We should start deprecating this terms for less racially charged language, like "safelist", "blocklist". Tech can be less exclusionary @venikunche @EmmaBostian @ugonna_t

    While I don’t pretend to have all the answers, I’m encouraging creators to create and post their content for the people who need it and rely on them.

    But to respectfully not push or promote in conversation platforms.
    Respect that.

    I feel it’s an appropriate balance.

    Everyone Shut up.

    I don't normally share my thoughts on important topics because I hate confrontation, but y'all have irritated me to the point of vocality.

    Want to amplify black voices? Then listen to me. You better fucking share this.

    This is going to be a long ass thread
