Mission accomplished. 3/3

Now, at a geopolitical inflection not seen since the fall of the Berlin Wall, all that is gone. Updates are delayed, scattered, and unreliable. "Verified" accounts are just every slack-jawed yahoo with $8 to burn and no professional or reputational incentives for accuracy. 2/

Struggling with how to express how triggering it can be for a WOC to hear ppl reminiscing on the late 90s/2000s “heyday” of our industry.

Would be an incredible achievement to be elected leader of your party, become Prime Minister, kill the queen, tank the pound and get fired all within one menstrual cycle. Unreal girlbossing.
