The slow destruction of Twitter means I don’t have to limit myself to 280 characters anymore. So this is a LONG-ASS post about having been online for decades & lost so many spaces to malfeasance and malice & what to do now. Because I need to scream. catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking…

After being kicked out of the house for coming out, a 22-year-old sought an LGBTQ+ therapist on @betterhelp, which instead sent him to Christian counselor who told him to try and stop being gay. More from @WSJ on VC-backed mental-health treatment apps: wsj.com/articles/the-f…

A third brand asked to feature my tweet. First one compensated, second one did not, so I said no. Third one not offering compensation either. I don’t get it. Don’t give away your shit for free!

“Does it bother you to play support all the time? Do you ever feel like it perpetuates the stereotype that women always play healers?” Listen buddy, I live for praise and trying to fix people who make bad choices, so who’s really losing here

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill has passed the Scottish Parliament by 86 to 39. This is a piece of legislation which will make the lives of trans people - one of the most marginalised minorities in society - a little bit easier. Bravo to the 86.

Owen Jones (@OwenJones84)Thu, 22 Dec 2022 15:10 GMT

Hang on so while the argument from GC is that trans women will show their genitals to innocent women and meanwhile a GC protestor flashed her fanny at the public in Parliament? What?

After I was born, my mom worked as a: -temp worker/secretary/typist -direct sales associate (Mary Kay) -home childcare provider -preschool teacher -elementary school teacher So I know a whole lot about how our lack of support for mothers pushes women into low-wage, gendered work

Are you transphobic towards trans men too? Or is it just trans women you hate??

As a human, I can’t imagine a world where women are denied education! Do better Rishi! You don’t need to be a parent to hold this view. “As a father…” does not add kudos to your opinion. Being a parent doesn’t enhance empathy. #childfree #childless #nonparents #Parents

As a father to daughters, I cannot imagine a world in which they’re denied an education. The women of Afghanistan have so much to offer. Denying them access to university is a grave step backwards. The world is watching. We will judge the Taliban by their actions.

No Stack Developer A no stack developer criticizes the stack without understanding the stack. In addition to complaining, no stack developers engage in full rewrites, but don't finish them before quitting or getting fired, leaving an organization with no stack.

Kelsey Hightower (@kelseyhightower)Wed, 21 Dec 2022 17:10 GMT

Here’s the thing: Twitter’s stack *is* crazy. But as an industry we have not found another way to build planet scale systems supported by large orgs, constantly iterating and experimenting on a complex product.

How things come full circle. Remember when Slack came out, it felt like a productivity increase and something that works better than email. I’ve now resorted to keeping Slack closed most of the time to not get distracted, preferring email as it doesn’t force me to respond ASAP.
