My latest film, Chasing Fame, is out! I want you to watch it. Yes, it's about TikTok, and maybe you are tired of TikTok but I want you to watch it anyway. These teens are opening up the kimono to show you what it takes to get famous:

@leahstokes Make it a cargo E-bike AKA the Brooklyn parent-mobile! Eco friendly but more importantly, fast & fun.

@leahstokes @page88 Interesting but not true. Musk did use Twitter for banter, connecting at length with strangers often halfway around the world, who later became friends. He saw the same thing in this platform that this writer saw. The difference is their worldview.

Funny story. In March, I filed a #FOIA request w/Secret Service for docs abt Trump pres. records stored at Mar a Lago

On July 1, I sued Secret Service (& other agencies)

A day after FBI searched Mar a Lago, Secret Service responded to my request

*No responsive docs LOL

Great interview here by @LeahStokes on the transformative nature of the proposed congressional climate plan (courtesy of the always-on point @mehdirhasan):

@ericbkennedy “Let me mansplain to the Twitterverse why I am not lucky and I know best.” Dude, I was masked and caught Covid from another masked person. I’m all for masks, but this thread of absolute certainty about your luck to date is 💩

[Elaisha Stokes @ElaishaStokes]

Has “sorry I have Covid” become the new “dog-ate-my-homework” ? Asking for a friend.

Capitalism is the plague that kills creativity.

Boudin's prosecution of theft was certainly way down. On the other hand, prop 47 reclassified theft under $950 as a misdemeanor. That was voted in by California citizens. As was Boudin, on a platform that he wouldn't prosecute quality of life crimes. You get what you vote for?

[Elaisha Stokes @ElaishaStokes]

If you look at the numbers, Chesa Boudin's policies had legs. But they would have taken time. What he lacked was political savvy. The San Fran Chronicle did some good reporting that looked at the hard numbers outside of the partisan debate. https://t.co/W7fNS4A93c

And what really gets me in a rage is that this toddler I'm carrying still can't get vaxed and lives in a country where masks are optional in daycares. But I still have to get a covid test, even with proof of recovery, to board a plane, with a maskless crew. THIS IS NONSENSE.

[Elaisha Stokes @ElaishaStokes]

Yesterday: Arrive at the airport to fly from Canada to the United States, proof of covid-recovery in hand. Informed I can't board the plane unless I also have a note from my doctor. Rush between two terminals with a 30-pound toddler in hand to get a test. @CDCgov

@itgirljuliabox Technically she was his sub-letter? And kombucha sitter, of course.

[Elaisha Stokes @ElaishaStokes]

This roommate-turned-romance kombucha empire story may be the most Brooklyn product I have ever encountered.

[Elaisha Stokes @ElaishaStokes]

@VantaBlackCos It's true. It was delicious. Did it need to come with an obnoxious over-share and a $5 price tag? I am less convinced...

[Elaisha Stokes @ElaishaStokes]

@Curry_Barbie I wish I could lol love this tweet rather than just like it.
