Here’s the original 10,000 word piece that tells the whole story.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

@LoMel I weirdly also want to buy it, despite how well-loved it looks.

@LoMel This looks so@comfy and I love it!

Here's the most awkward custom search function I've ever created: everyone you follow, who's also paid Elon $8 for a dodgy tick

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative*

One texted me later: Holy f*ck

The problem is, constantly putting up with unwarranted resistance is bad for mental health.

In August 1865, Jourdon Anderson, a freedman living in Dayton, OH, addressed a letter to his former enslaver, Col. Patrick H. Anderson, in Tennessee. He wrote in response to a request from Patrick to return to work on the farm where he was enslaved just a year prior. 🧵

Sometimes I think my son is the most astonishingly brilliant, intuitive, sensitive person I have ever beheld and then we meet a female child his exact age and think “Ah yes he is a friendly monkey who lives in our house.”

Folks are talking about police a bunch, and that's something I might actually be able to provide context for.

Police are never, and will never be, required to endanger themselves in any way for any reason. This has been litigated thoroughly.

listen, there are responsible gun owners who just enjoying hunting and I want to make it clear that I don’t care at all and they can find literally any other hobby

As if I can send my daughter, a second grader, to school tomorrow. As if I can keep her home, after being separated from her friends and peers and teachers for 2 years. 1/

@bennettrun Some of us are going to need a How to Cope When the Preventable Badness Won’t Relent 5K with @andypuddicombe, and it wouldn’t hurt to throw in a Get Out The Vote 10K.

I’m a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution. Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR15 is worth more than another 14 children’s lives.

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

I think it is important to be detailed because to say this was a "shooting" is sanitary. Children that young were killed by a weapon that shatters. Young kids would not have identification; they may not be recognizable. There are so many of them. Authorities are figuring 1/

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
