I finally imported my amazon purchase history into my own database so I can search for past purchases by amount, which it turns out is a key component to how I do my accounting.

Previously I was searching my email for amounts then clicking thru to see the order details because amazon stopped including them in the email. So much less clicking now!

I guarantee you that the people who argue “abolish policing” have thought about this concept 100x more thoroughly than every single person who reacts “haha that’s dumb” has thought about their reflexive defense of the need for police/prisons

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

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.
