@stwater Why are we paying a fee for you to “take care of us” (meter readings and answering emails according to your own bill) if you are estimating my water usage and when I read my meter and try to contact you to get the bill updated with the correct reading no one replies?

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

Seriously an unmissable opportunity to see Tarsila’s work and many other great artists!

@patialvares Oi, Patricia! Obrigada por me responder. Eu não consigo enviar DM pra você, o X não deixa!rs Me manda uma DM que provavelmente consigo te responder e te passar mais detalhes!

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

@patialvares Oi, Patrícia! Tudo bem? Estou fazendo uma pesquisa sobre o caso do Jean Charles e gostaria de bater um papo com você. Você teria disponibilidade? Abraços!

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

@yasmin_khan Hello there! I’m conducting academic research on Jean Charles’ case and would like to have a chat with you if possible. Can you send me a message here or let me know the best way to contact you? Thanks

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

@HalilMrT4Real Oh this is beautiful! I sometimes send my boys Brazilian food they love. I worry they might have to answer questions as they aren’t really aware those foods aren’t “normal” for the other kids. It never happened - we must be doing something right raising this generation.

@RoyalMailHelp Morning! I’m trying to find a parcel after an attempted delivery without a card and without a return the next day. Would you be able to help? I have sent the tracking via DM. Thanks!

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

@veronica_gago Hi Veronica - I’m editing a book on cultures of resistance in Latin America for Routledge and it would be fantastic to have a chapter about the elections and the expectations for the next years. Please let me know if you are interested or know of someone who might be.

@anasuzina THIS!! I struggled a lot turning my long/complex sentences into two or three because it felt like butchering my text 😅

Lula sabia que seria preso. A ordem de prisão viria em dias. Era líquido e certo. Não faltou oferta de asilo político no estrangeiro. Muitos tentaram convencê-lo a fugir do país. Escolheu encarar as durezas da lei. Passou 580 dias no cárcere.

Jair acha que será preso. Vai fugir.

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

@anasuzina @parentinscience Hear, hear!

[Fernanda Amaral @FAmaralComber]

@jasonsfolly YES, @jasonsfolly!! A very happy morning indeed! I was up last night waiting for the results and I am so happy to see my home country free of that foul soul! Lula is back and now we can start to hope again. Thanks for sharing the sentiment

My article on Racialised regimes of remembrance in Brazil is out. This is the first study in a project focused on activist memory and the use of technology to challenge racialised regimes of remembrance and commemoration.
