Hey @DEWALTtough, one of your MaxFit bits exploded in my face while installing some cellular shades today. 🥴
The whole tip of the Phillips head fell apart during a very straightforward attempt to drive a wood screw.

I'm shocked at this low quality. What gives?

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

@vinn_ayy did I see you in that movie trailer?? 🧐
I shrieked and rushed on here to check but 🤷🏿‍♀️.

What if we weren’t supposed to care about what the outside world thinks about our patois.

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

@MrsBundrige IKYFL!!!

Not really. I 💯 believe you that this happened. But mai gawd. The unmitigated gall.

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

Oh, Martel.

'INFESTED' was right there. 🥲

We were rooting for you to make a big comeback. 🫠

@RepRashida @kroger The creators of Black Mirror have really outdone themselves, cancelling the series and having us experience the new season instead

When I tell you I am FLOORED:

“CODE SWITCH: DISTRIBUTING BLACKNESS, REPROGRAMMING INTERNET ART”

Schomburg Center Oct 15-Dec 19, 2024

“Drawing its title from André Brock’s groundbreaking text Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures (2020), the exhibition explores the relationship between Black cultural production and the legacy of computation as a mode of machinic engagement and creative inspiration”

Shoutout to @zaritaylor_ and @LegacyRussell

Happy Birthday Shadow!

@markmayo1983 I'm just being honest and bringing smoke. That's all. 😭

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

@MissSassbox @markmayo1983 An affirmation for the ages. Whew.
🙏🏿

Alt text: A still from the new #Scrabble game show on @TheCW. The tiles in the rack are the letters C H R T E N E. There is an open R on the board positioned to play all 7 tiles to make an 8-letter word.

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

@TheCW Not me literally shrieking at dude on the TV because he missed the bingo opportunity for 'TRENCHER' on this play. 🫨

My cat left the room in disgust. 😹

I need this #Scrabble game show in my life immediately!!!

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

"This continued lack of literacy is astonishing."

A whole bar. Whew.

I could say this about so many things. First to mind was the willful misunderstanding of "equity" and "culturally responsive pedagogy" amongst (CS) education peers.

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

@KhaliaBraswell 😂 Get em, sis!!

[not ‘rihanna’ 🇯🇲 @__rnt91]

My colleague genuinely just asked me why there are parishes in Jamaica named after English towns. Lord he picked the wrong one cos the whole office has just been lectured about British colonisation. Everyone is now in silence

[🇹🇹 TropiCarla Strickland @CisforCarla]

@ModFigsPodcast Woohoo!!!
Big tingz a gwan!!!!!

So, please, stop suggesting your peers of color have it easier than you. If that were true, there would be more of us rather than being UR at every level (BW are less than 2% of biomedical science PIs). Thinking we have the advantages in the current system is just plain wrong.
