Happppppy New Year!! #happynewyear #seriesofshots #newyears2023

I feel like twitter was a bar where for some reason everyone had a knife and now I’m here looking around like “none of you have KNIVES, right??” and you’re all like “why would I have a knife, are you ok”

Officially one year and counting! #happyanniversary to me @parents! Proud to be part of the amazing team!

okay here's a first non-logistical toot: independent bookstores make a third of their sales between Thanksgiving & the end of the year 💛

pls consider getting holiday gifts from local bookstores, most of which ship nationwide

Properly introducing the nuggets to #backtothefuture and it still holds up. My science-oriented 8yo is absolutely riveted. #runforitmarty #movienight #movies

#FF @Celeste_pewter , one of the best online practical progressive electoral politics organizers I know. You know how folks will often post shocking stuff but not tell you how to DO anything about it? Celeste always has a great suggestion of something to actually DO.

@Celeste_pewter frowning at you!

@goldiechan hello!!

I'm curious if there are #AsianAmerican or #Asian folks here? And other cool #BIPOC people to follow?

Please boost so we can find each other :squirtle: #TwitterMigration

Let’s be clear that CWs are great. But someone existing as different from you, as a marginalized identity, does not go behind a content warning. And talking about the discrimination they experience might make you uncomfortable—trust me, when I experience racism, it’s very uncomfortable. The response is to try and do something about it, not to tell them they’re making you uncomfortable.

This probably describes me better than any intro

@nadinejoliecourtney I can’t figure any of it out. 😔
