hey just saw that guy that said “boomer is the n-word of ageism” and i would like to provide a quote from the only white man i trust

[Jordan Giarratano @BudoPunk]

I once quoted an article I had just read to a person I was on a first Tinder date with. Turns out she was the journalist who had written the article. I have never been more happy that I cited my source in a conversation.

[Prof Tasha Stanton @Tash_Stanton]

Friends at conferences - please do not assume that the people that you talk to do not know anything. I just got told that I should read what Stanton et al found about pain.

I. Am. Stanton.

It is time we trash the idea that empathy = leadership weakness.

When people hurt, we should hurt too. That’s what good leaders do. It adds urgency & humanity to our decision making. Suppressing emotion can lead to aggression, impulsivity, & other erosions of leadership ability.

@suchsharpteeth Bahahaha

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

After the Mueller report, Congress had a duty to begin impeachment. By failing to act, Congress is complicit in Trump’s latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in US elections. Do your constitutional duty and impeach the president.

@suchsharpteeth Yesssssss

Uber is the Fyre Festival of taxis. It's just playing out over a longer period of time.

@benfowlkesMMA Oh man. This, this can get me to finally sign up for the Patreon. Are these podcasts archived?

I don't know why but I love this movie in spite of everyone else I know who saw it disagreeing with me.

😭😭😭💙💙💙

It’s not mine. I can’t be a tribute act.

However, I do save it for the rare occasional moment when I really feel it in my bones/heart. Not sure if I can really pull it off even.

Book research help: I'm trying to find someone who designs doors professionally - to ask about #normandoors (doors that are confusing to use).

Know someone? RT please?

I've yet to see an actual door designer interviewed about this (if u have, link please!). Thx. #design #ux

@aaronjshay @suchsharpteeth I always thought it was "wild hair," this makes much more sense.

[Jordan Giarratano @BudoPunk]

@suchsharpteeth I don't even answer calls from people I DO know.

[Danielle Campoamor @DCampoamor]

I’m depressed as fuck. More than I’ve ever been in my life. I have anxiety, suffer from PTSD, & am battling an eating disorder. Guess how many fucking people I’ve shot & killed.

Zero.

Don’t blame mental illness. Blame toxic masculinity, white supremacy, & easy access to guns.

[Jordan Giarratano @BudoPunk]

So many interesting thoughts in this thread.

[Tim Wise @timjacobwise]

29/ What the left never understands is: we need to stop approaching elections like the goddamned debate team, and start approaching it like the right does, like the cheerleading squad...

[Jordan Giarratano @BudoPunk]

@berkun I quit my design business because I was tired of the persuasion/arguing with clients aspect, and now I teach communication and conflict navigation skills. Strange trip. Ultimately design is communication, one way or another.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

At its core, abuses at the border are not about whether some CBP officers are good or bad people.

It’s about how our border policies are gravely dehumanizing, & strip all involved of human decency.

Once you order people to violate others’ rights, a culture can quickly devolve.

[Jordan Giarratano @BudoPunk]

@FireproM2k @TheDooge @JoeSposto I love this.

@amandadeibert Sat next to her at a two day workshop. We have the same first name.
