This is my last tweet on Twitter.

Some good advice for quitting twitter:
- get a backup of your data. I haven't been able to get mine but you should request it. I'm sure that service is overloaded.
- leave a final tweet with where you can be found next.
- disable, don't delete your account, to keep your handle.
Since Twitter is about to die imminently, where are folks congregating? Please share your favorite virtual town squares.

I just finished testifying against SB 454 in Columbus. Thanks to @EqualityOhio for asking me here; whatever the outcome of this bill, I’m glad to have had the chance to stand up for the safety of trans youth

A lot of folks seem to be really mad about this paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. These folks at BU have synthesized a COVID variant that combined the deadliness of the origin variant with the spreadability of Omicron. Can someone who knows more share their sentiment on this?

Please take 10 minutes of your time to write to your representatives to step up our support of Ukraine. We are on the wrong side of history here. #Ukraine linktr.ee/RazomForUkraine
