@wongmjane No journalist would consider the work you do anything less than "journalism." I also don't think citizen journalism is a concept journalists are against at all, it's just the term is often thrown around in opposition to "regular" journalism these days.

@aghoshal @hashnode That's awesome!! They're lucky to have you

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

anyone want my blue checkmark? selling it for $19 a month great deal

@dcseifert Worst/dumbest part is paying for 4K even though Netflix won't even stream 4K to most of my devices *sighs*

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@dcseifert It feels weird to not have Netflix as the OG big streaming service, but it's also the one I think I might give up.

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@reckless This is awesome

@beth_hampton @Zipcar I'm locked out of my account too. On the website it tells me to complete my application when I've been using Zipcars for years, so I'm guessing something's amiss

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@Kevin_Raposo Thanks! I also considered

TikTok copycat copes with TikTok copies

and

Don't copy your Tiktoks to our TikTok copycat, copy that?

I always wonder about the headlines that didn't make it

@gaoladipo Oat, mostly for coffee, but like a lot of vegan stuff it depends a ton on the specific product
S-tier: Oatly full fat, barista, and regular
A-tier: Califia barista, Chobani
B-tier: Califia regular
Disgusting: Planet oat, elmhurst

Still like soy milk too

@ValerieComplex Congrats on the new gig! It's validating to see I wasn't the only one who didn't get how a musical with such a problematic plot got so popular. GF watched it, was disturbed, and I was like "nope nope nope" throughout the summary. Seems the movie ain't much better.

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@JoannaStern Same. Worse, even though I'm in a 5G area, I find that the various phones I've used often make things worse by doing the constant switcharoo dance between 4G and 5G.

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@windowsinsider Done!

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@windowsinsider yep!

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

It's not just me that's having terrible lag for the #Windows11 stream right?

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@ValerieComplex 100%. It still deserves this criticism and didn't reach it's potential because of these choices.

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@ValerieComplex ...which is that Dominican culture already tends to ignore its own blackness. Even though Dominicans have the most African ancestry of all Hispanic countries. That wasn't the filmmakers intention, but it plays into that existing erasure.

[Napier Lopez @napilopez]

@ValerieComplex I'm Dominican, grown up in the DR and so much time/family in Washington Heights. It's where my parents met. This movie made me feel a connection I've never felt with any film before. Even though I loved the movie, this issue was glaring and there's another layer to it...
