I tried to #download my #TwitterData bc curiosity. The link arrived today. It contains…nothing. My profile has no gender no age and those are the two options. My devices: I used two browsers. There is no other information in my download. FYI
mobile apps track you and sell your data. convenience comes at a price. this shouldn’t be surprising and yet…
With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter. 🧵
verse novelists, get your tissues handy!
I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/
Justice KBJ is so brilliant and surprisingly gentle as she cuts away at floofy arguments with her scalpel of logic. 😍
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson confronted the lawyer arguing for outlawing affirmative action with how his proposed college admissions system would privilege a white legacy applicant over a Black descendent of slaves. Listen here -->

I want to be Little Witch Hazel for Halloween. Unfortunately, green overalls are harder to come by tonight I had expected. Boo.
I got so engrossed in this awesome graphic novel by @Claribel_Ortega , I forgot to let the chickens out! My daughter and I fought over who got to read it first! 🌟 So. Good.

someone rang our doorbell like 10 times at 11:30 and woke us up in a panic. it was a stranger eating a bag of chips who didn’t realize he was at the wrong house. idiot or casing the neighborhood? dunno. but guess who won’t be sleeping the rest of the night? grrrr
I had my first dream about MLA formatting. 💀

never thought my opera training would lead me to tonight’s creation of an invented country name containing IPA-correct click notation over dinner with my kids. 😝#GoodForSomething

My cat just got himself stuck in a plastic bag and tore through the house in a panic, destroying my nap in the process. Thanks, Oliver.
I was hearing rumors of a big gator chasing runners in this area…Hopefully this guy will have a nicer life away from all the people. Yikes!
Near Cinco Ranch in Katy, TX, a 12 foot alligator was taking a morning stroll near neighborhoods and a busy street. The police tried to get him back in the bayou but after hours of waiting, they had him removed and sent to Gator Country in Beaumont, TX.
If you need a little joy this morning…
As I stroll on TikTok, I keep seeing parents video their children reacting to The Little Mermaid trailer. So instead of focusing so much on the negative, I thought I’d show a thread of the little black kids who are excited to see their favorite princess look like them.

Science Educators! I'm looking for a science teacher (upper elementary or middle school) to read my new NF manuscript about aliens and space. I want to make sure I'm not talking above (or down to) the audience of 10-14 year olds. More details below... 🧵 (1/2) PLEASE RETWEET

Reading a well-known book for school and the female protagonist has a baby after a month's gestation. It's not speculative. That's some serious poetic license! How did NO ONE ELSE catch this?
#RA #arthritis twitter, how do you identify normal fatigue vs abnormal? over here secondguessing myself…

On the NRA convention: “Former President Donald Trump is still scheduled to headline the event. Guns won't be allowed in the auditorium where the former president will be speaking.” Whyever not????
