It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 11 years, since 26 Dec 2012 (via @twi_age).

@marigoldlight i've never laughed so hard at a tweet in my life

My heart goes out to every Blue voter in a sea of red, who has fought to create a world you are proud to live in, but keep on getting shot down by not only your red neighbors who view you as lesser than, but fellow blues who deem you the butt of their jokes.

You deserve better

Please be careful about how you speak about election results in places you're not from, especially the South. Gerrymandering & other forms of voter suppression continue to play a significant role in outcomes. The people are doing what they can but so are the systems blocking them

The British Crown legally owns 6.6 billion acres of land across the world. That is a sixth of the earth's surface.

Charles is now the world's largest landowner, but I am sure that has nothing to do with colonialism...

racism is crazy because i’m seeing grown men act like they care about a little mermaid movie

The public mourning during 9/11 is even more curious after the last few years where thousands of people died each day and instead of that being a great tragedy as well, there were demands to go back to work and to learn to live with that level of death.

It's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay!
As a suicidologist and someone who has experienced chronic suicidality since age 9, I want to offer some insights that mainstream prevention orgs don't often share. 🧵

In our analysis of Power and Empire's Violence we have to ask - why are the tweets of two Global South Black women academics more threatening to Empire and deserving of its violence than an entire Irish stadium of largely men publicly declaring their delight in the Queen's death?

[Zito @_Zeets]

This is one of those fascinating times when you see the difference between people who think of monarchs and colonialism are part of some fantasy world, like Disney stories, and those who know the evil of it and whose parents can talk vividly about the cruelty and lasting impact.

People always expect the oppressed to have compassion and never the oppressor.

[Tiffani Ashley Bell @tiffani]

Jeff Bezos just used Twitter to set a Black woman up to be harassed the rest of the day for speaking her mind, just in case you’re wondering what else is happening today.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

if y’all don’t stop, today might surpass the day trump got covid as the best day on twitter

[too cindy too furious @cindy_epub]

POV you are a musical about overthrowing the monarchy

[Christopher Sebela @xtophersebela]

live your life in such a way that RIP BOZO isn't trending the moment you kick the bucket

[rise and fall of a wendy's passenger princess @1001cranes]

"don't speak ill of the dead" is for your aunt who got a little too tipsy at parties and didn't season her food, not heads of a colonialist empire who made many, many, many people's lives actively worse, hope this helps <3

[bela @thebelaclava]

once again watching myself in a Zoom call and thinking about how there must be a way to have a human reaction to information other than nodding continuously for an hour straight
