Could Brooklyn 99 just suddenly and without explanation switch to being about a post office

Obama is showing off with these complete sentences.

Hey @YouTube @ytcreators is there a way to donate monetization of a video go directly to an organization?

Got a message from @YouTube about some actions they want to take to support Black creators. Here's my response to that. @SusanWojcicki what's good?

Yeah I get this too. When we’re discussing “white privilege” we have to define the term. Every time. That’s why I like the thing I’ve seen lately, “white privilege doesn’t mean your life hasn’t been hard. It means skin color wasn’t one of the things making it harder.” Yoink!

It took 10 days and protests in all 50 states for them to announce charges for all 4 police officers that murdered George Floyd

Do not fucking forget that

Turn b99 into a show about the post office instead don’t explain it just next season everyone’s a postal worker instead of a cop and also donate money to bail funds

Even in my darkest moments in 2016, I didn't picture myself in 2020 casually telling Matt that I'm making dinner from our pandemic rations because I forgot to get groceries before the police curfew.

Woke up. Checked the news. Yup, racism is still wrong and half our country is more focused on temporary property damage than the permanent erasure of Black American lives at the hands of law enforcement.

Most of the protestors are COMPLETELY PEACEFUL. Can't you focus on that?

When was the last time you seen ALL 50 states do ANYTHING together???

What does your at-home streaming setup look like?

Last week @photojoseph had to set up a last-minute livestream from his home using a Forza 60 and softbox.

“I follow you for tech, not politics.”

1. All tech is political
2. Human rights isn’t politics
3. Eat shit

Can you imagine what all these brilliant, passionate people could do if they didn't have to spend their lives fighting for equal rights?

I just published XYZ: Why? https://link.medium.com/e0nz50qb16

Basic human rights isn’t political. #BlackLivesMatter

Imagine living in a country that it took months to respond to a pandemic and seconds to militarize the police against its citizens

I’ve been studying nonreactivity in buddhism. It’s one of the tactics of the path and also a goal. Today I noticed that Twitter and Facebook are built around literally giving a voice to your reactivity. Blogs were too, but they weren’t as effective.

Last night we added a few relevant links to a banner at the top of the Eleventy docs.

Software is political. #BlackLivesMatter

Getting annoyed with the DMs and txt messages warning me to be careful posting about recent events cause it could affect my future match/employment.

I can't be more clear: Any institution that finds me posting about the value/dignity of black lives "controversial" is NOT for me
