Maybe if the deal is somehow unwound (not holding my breath), I'd consider returning. Or maybe I wouldn't. I've always been kind of an awkward loner; the lure of just walling myself off from the world with books and pets and my husband might be too big of a temptation to ignore.

🧵: Welp, it really happened, and I'm out. I won't be tweeting while Elon Musk owns this site. You can find me on Instagram, @briannakarp. Maybe I'll eventually join an alternative site like TikTok or YouTube or Tumblr or one of the Twitter clones popping up...or maybe I won't.

Learn to think critically, teach your kids to think critically, and do your part to stop the spread of disinformation. I'm sure there's a lot more, but it's probably time to say goodbye for now...

Stand up for those under attack and fighting for their rights. Actively demonstrate solidarity for the homeless, impoverished, and working-class. Rich people almost uniformly suck (yes, even if they seem likable/entertain you. That's OK, but just realize IRL they probably suck).

It's been a wild almost-14 years, so before I go, the most important things I have learned, some from this very hell-app: There's a ton of awesome, brilliant, creative people in the world. Default to kindness, as often as you can. Be an ally to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ people.

2/3rds of Republicans believe America was better as an apartheid state, you mean.

Dr. Oz went full Handmaid's Tale during a live debate, and that one sound bite should be an ad by the end of the day.

Penn State was hosting the Proud Boys but when students protested it had the nerve to admonish them by talking about polarization and rising violence...isn't that the definition of what the Proud Boys do?

Two brothers taunted migrants and then opened fire on them—killing one & injuring several more. ICE then released the murderous brothers & detained the migrants.😳

You read that right. The murderers are out free but the victims are locked up. Barbaric.

Segregation part in particular is just SO morally bankrupt. Sneering in the faces of those marching for THEIR rights (because Watchtower was peachy keen w/ upholding segregation up until the exact moment it became law they couldn't), then going "Welp, Jehovah got it done for us".
