Why the fuck was I taught about mesopotamia but not black history?

hey, are you doomscrolling? maybe you're writing and deleting a bunch of tweets? It's been a long week. You and your mental health deserve some high-quality rest and time away from screens.

If you want to play piano, but you’re bad at playing piano, you practice and you get better. Don’t be the kind of white person who doesn’t post out of fear of fucking up. If you want to support black people, but you’re bad at supporting black people, practice and get better.

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.

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.
