Y’all can understand a white kid shooting up a school cuz he was bullied after 4 months of school but don’t understand why an oppressed group is compelled to burn shit down after 400yrs

Our thoughts and hearts go out to all those that are protesting across the world right now, it is more important than ever that we stand together to end the ignorance and violence. Love you all #BlackLivesMatter

When I get pulled over by a cop. My thoughts: 1. Ugh, this asshole 2. Wtf did i even do? 3. I’ll have to pay 4. I’m gonna be late 5. I was speeding but this sucks. My never once thought. Not ever. Not once in my life: 1. This is how i’m going to die. That. is white privilege.

We have been careful to wait until the conditions are just right before opening the scools. Such as checking that the daily rates for new infections and deaths are higher than when we closed them. #schoolreopeninguk

I receive thousands of threatening abusive messages from men. One said he was going to cut my genitals up & rape me with a metal bar til I died. No men were banned. Today my cousin was banned for saying ‘men are dogs’ and I was banned last year for calling a man a ‘coward’.

Remember when Diane Abbott cracked open a cheeky mojito on the tube and she was forced to publicly apologise and pray for mercy? Compare the establishment's response to that and its response to what Cummings has done and go look up white privilege. We hate to see it.

1/5 Seems like the Giphy deal is strategically great for FB and probably gave Giphy the lifeline it needed. FB gets valuable intelligence - Giphy is embedded into many top apps and the SDK requires disclosing user deviceIDs. What? You thought they bought it for the gifs?

"I don't have time to write tests". Do you have time to: 1. Run the app manually after each change 2. Investigate and fix broken builds 3. Investigate and fix QA errors 4. Investigate and fix production errors Add all that up. Writing automated tests *saves* time.

Looking back, I kinda regret not asking some of my ex-managers more about how they work before taking the respective roles. It can be easy to underestimate the impact one person can have on your career in the early years.

Instead of "Advice for being a woman in Science", can we agree to just have "How to not be an asshole that drives women out of science" course for men? I am sick of all the advice. It puts the work on women how to navigate a shitty system made for and by men.

I’ve heard being a man on the Internet compared to using an adblocker: same Internet, but you see a lot less shit. So I did this for a few people, so they could experience what it’s like to be a non-man online, at least a bit. To see what it’s like with the adblocker turned off.
