This is where I've been spending a lot of my time lately. I'm campaigning for Jennifer Chen, one of the candidates running against the right-wing movement described here. If you're local, join the effort to protect and advocate for DEIB in our community.

@lessachu That’s awesome that you got to see this!

It’s Olivia Munn with @hellojillybing! So excited for Jilly Bing, an Asian American doll made for Asian American kids 😍

“But look at us now!!” So inspiring ❤️

The only thing that shocks me about this tweet is the number of characters it’s allowed to have.

10yr old: I want to go sassy shopping with you on Saturday

Me: what’s that?

10yr old: it’s where we wear sunglasses, carry a tiny purse, and sip hot chocolate from Starbucks while we walk around the mall. I’ll talk about kids at school and you can talk about people at work, in a *sassy* tone. We’ll say “omg that is soooo craaazy” a lot. And you’ll need to bring your credit card so you can buy me things that I want. I’ve got it all figured out mom — it’s going to be very fun!

Me: I’m scared. 🤣🤣🤣

Consider: sophisticated pundits laughed at how Trump fooled his naive supporters. They called him “a poor person’s idea of a rich businessman”. Well, Elon was a non-techie’s idea of a science genius. Transcribe his interviews - they’re word salad. You got fooled too. 63/

@Ity What a huge loss for Twitter and a great gain for the next place you go. Best wishes to you, Ity. You were always one of my favorite people 💙

[Amy Truong @amyt]

@crankymate @slyphon You definitely kept us on our toes 😆
And I agree with Joel - it was a highlight of my time at Twitter, too. I know you’ll land at a great place and continue to do stellar work.

Vote like it’s Roevember 🗳️

It's striking that @jack hasn't tweeted anything about what's going on, even if to offer platitudes to former colleagues.

The Twitter layoffs are like a mass public execution in the town square. I've seen a couple of ex-Tweeps (ICs earlier in their career) get called out and ridiculed on posts that have gone viral. Respect and kindness have left the building.

Excited to be speaking at #LeadingEng today. Beautiful setup by the @TheLeadDev team!

I highly recommend #38atTheGarden. As an Asian American, everything in this documentary resonates so much - the hope, the pride, the anger, the fear... all of these feelings hit me at once. Here's the trailer: https://t.co/44FkwrrTii

Keeping up with local elections... I've never spent so much time on so many FB groups and non-profit websites... Startup idea? 🤔

[Amy Truong @amyt]
