If you are going to #APM I would be so grateful if you’d test out Threads during APM. I know it’s a big ask. I’m grieving the loss of community since leaving X and am hoping more folks will try this out. #swtech

@EJohnsonLCSW @CSocialWorkEd @CSWA_HoD @SWHG1956 I am reading this as they can be used for eugenics but not based on that. Am I missing something?
