Happy 80th birthday to the legendary activist, marxist, scholar and author Angela Davis.

In 1970, she was placed on the FBI 10 Most Wanted List on false charges.

@the_real_stacie @_collab_lab @zapier Happy birthday my lovely! 🥰🥰🥰

[Kaushi Bandara @kaushib1]

@DannyRichman This is amazing @DannyRichman! I'm sure taking out the stress of written communication off the table helps this young man focus on his designs and creativity. As someone who works with Zapier customers and a garden design enthusiast, this speaks to my soul ❤

@iammoshow Queen Bruce and Trinity are sending you much love. So sorry for your loss ❤️

[Kaushi Bandara @kaushib1]

@unikittygal @the_tweedy She was formerly a barn cat and my brother-in-law and his wife named her Bruce because she looks exactly like a male cat of one of their friends (also named Bruce) 😃 Of course, the Queen part stemmed from the fact that she is a truly fancy girl and rules the house! 😍

My uncle was deaf. He was asked by British soldiers to stop. Of course he did not hear them. They shot him dead. My other uncle was in the Mau Mau. My grandmother hid bullets for him. Colonialism happened to real people. It is absolute madness to expect us to mourn the queen.

@dr_nickiw As someone who was born and raised (Sri Lanka) and now is a citizen of (Canada) former British colonies, I relish in how savage #IrishTwitter is. Death doesn't absolve you from the fact that the institution you led for 70 years was responsible for unspeakable atrocities.

all of formerly colonized twitter watching "now let's keep it respectful today" twitter

@katyazeisig Girl, for real. The amount of bad takes about how black and brown folks from former British colonies should feel about Queen Elizabeth II has been astonishing today.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

Black and brown people around the world who were subject to horrendous cruelties and economic deprivation under British colonialism are allowed to have feelings about Queen Elizabeth.

After all, they were her "subjects" too.

Today, I moved from my previous support role to a new support engineering role, also @zapier. I got a goodbye card from my lovely former team and one of my teammates referred to me as "Khaleesi of Great Gardens" 😍. That's what I plan to go by from now until eternity 😂

[Kaushi Bandara @kaushib1]

More highlights 🥰

[Kaushi Bandara @kaushib1]

I definitely feel seen 🤣🤣🤣

[Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱🔴 @back_the_BBC]

#GardenersWorld audience are all googling "Gardening Smock" right now to see if it is actually a thing

[Kaushi Bandara @kaushib1]

@TreasuryMog My extremely handsome foster son, Lux (5 years old). He is now with his forever family and we have the privilege of taking care of him (and giving him lots of cuddles and treats 🥰) when his family is out of town/on holiday.

My goal in life is to be Violet. Not just as an enthusiastic gardener...but just be Violet in general 😎 #GardenersWorld #BBC

[Chris Howell @christophhowell]

Loving Violet's garden on #GardenersWorld. Wondering if we've all been taking the wrong approach to deterring cats. Maybe a polite notice is the way forward.
