BC TWITTER
Saved by @Mollyycolllinss

All spring and summer I was resentful of twitter "leftists" for their conduct during the primaries. There are many things, and they were all absurd, but the most absurd was when those lunatics turned on AOC for complimenting Liz Warren on a fucking SNL cameo.

 Then I hated "leftists" for personal stuff. Long story short some nutjob leftists think I'm rich bc I'm a tv writer. They're stupid. Oh, and I'm evil, a trait apparently inherited from my mom whom "leftists" told me was evil for being a landlord of the 3 family house she lives in
Well, I do look like exactly my mom. And I'm evil because I told ppl not all landlords are rich slumlords, so if you can afford to, pay rent.
But it all really hit me when Kamala was announced as the VP pick. The first black woman San Francisco AG, California AG, AND VP pick. FIRST. HBCU grad and everything. And "leftists" acted like she aint shit. Like we werent supposed to be proud of her accomplishments.
I was so proud of her. And twitter had so warped my brain on what "progressivism" looked like, that in my attempts to pass purity tests, i muted my enthusiasm for her. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Mom was so proud. Told me that she immigrated here with Kamala's accomplishments in mind for her kids. She was VERY VERY proud. So were lots of my off twitter friends and family. That's another thing. "Leftists" are often shocked when the real world doesn't look like twitter.
it coincides with their not knowing how politics works. WHY ISN'T THE STIMULUS CHECK BIGGER? I dunno, bc you abstained from voting for moral (lol) reasons and when the republicans win and have power there isn't much democrats can do?
But if you ask "leftists" it's Nancy Pelosi's fault. Twitter search the word "significant" and see how many "leftists" ridiculed her for saying $600 is significant w/o reading the full quote or isolating that word "significant" in bad faith.
Nancy actually said “I’d like them to have been bigger, but they are significant” Does that sound like a bitch who thinks $600 is lit? Or is she trying to sell a plan we're stuck w/ bc Mitch is Senate leader and Ron Johnson cut the checks in half during debate ON CAMERA?
I know the pandemic/primary made ppl crazy. It made me crazy. And it made me crazy on twitter too. I was arguing with ppl, telling ppl to suck my dick, etc. Mean. Angry. No good. I never wanna be like that again.
Lots of us were being and saying terrible things. But I took a moment to catch my breath and decided to be different. I ain't where I wanna be, but I'm better. Therapy helped. So does Wellbutrin. Also weed, and I blocked a lot of ppl, friends included.
I blocked a (former?) friend bc when Kamala was announced as VP pick, she tweeted something like, yay! make women of color war criminals again.

Yuck.
That bothered the fuck outta me. First, bc according to your definition of "war criminal" if Bernie had won, he was gonna be one too. No president of the United States can be 100% pacifist in the real world. It's stupid and childish to believe. America is America bc it's America.
An American president will always do abhorrent shit in our "security interests" and after 4 yrs of silence on Trump's increased drone strikes we're back to shitting on a black guy and the not even in office yet black woman "war criminals" https://t.co/HkiRpKSDIE
I was especially offended by that tweet bc it came from a black woman and was RTed mostly by white "leftists" and comedy fans. I liked shorty a lot, but it's not gonna be a black woman shitting on the first black woman VP pick just to pass white ppl's socialism purity test. Yuck.
Which goes back to the race issue w “leftists.” They love black ppl until it’s time not to. Lol. I won’t ever forget this tweet from the son of a McKinsey director and himself a former employee. Lololololololololololololol
Suddenly withheld wages are ni--- excuse me, HBCUs' fault. As if some Amazon workers aren't black. As if HBCUs are undeserving. Wrote using passive voice as if it wasn't the WHITE ex wife of Bezos who GAVE the money or white Bezos who WITHHELD wages. Nope. It's black folk.
HBCUs, mind you, that were created bc PWIs wouldn't admit black folk. They are still underfunded to this day. According to Anand, that's who took from Amazon workers. Not evil Bezos. Negros. lol yeah FUCK YOU.

It is past due time we talk about microaggressions on interviews (a thread #MedTwitter #AcademicTwitter):

First, microaggressions are harmful! Despite their name, they signal “you don’t belong here” to marginalized groups.

Second, interview days are already nerve-wrecking.

One comment or experience has the ability to undermine an interview day. Applicants may not have the ability to report immediately and anonymously or may fear retribution for doing so. Interview day microaggressions put applicants in an awkward spot in addition to the harm.

They are also not rare experiences. As a Black woman, I have experienced them at multiple institutions and different levels. I’m sharing my stories as examples of what happens, but I have no doubt there are many others, even within your institution, that need to be responded to.

College: I had an in-person panel interview for a full-tuition scholarship. One POC on the panel repeatedly asked, “where are you from?” I was 17 and eager to please, but also knew I didn’t have to share that my ancestors were traumatized thru slavery. I got flustered and bombed.

Med school: A diversity website wrote, we need more physicians of color because they are more likely to serve in underserved communities. While true, the reason we need more representation in medicine is because minoritized groups have been kept out. PERIOD. I didn’t apply there.

I didn't drink alcohol for 2020 and now I want to talk about it in a long twitter thread that should probably just be a blog post, but here goes:

(I get into topics like alcohol abuse, mental illness, homphobia, and parental death, just fyi)

Some background first: every year I do some kind of restriction. Last year I only re-read books, another year I didn’t buy any clothes. My dad is catholic and even though I hate the religion, something about the ‘fasting’ elements of lent and advent stuck with me.

I enjoy cutting myself off from things to create space in unexpected places. It's where Innovation and creativity flourish. I did some of my best work for Momofuku Nishi, and @davidchang told me I had to create an Italian cocktail program, but nothing could come from Italy.

My family also loved wine and used connoisseurship to cast consumption in a virtuous light. Opening that 4th bottle of Chateauneuf-de-Pape was *educational*

My mom once yelled at a wine steward for not letting my then-17-year-old brother have a glass of wine with our dinner.

Wine is great though! Beer, spirits, etc. They’re all fascinating things to study on many levels. (Hello I wrote a whole cocktail book)

Plus, they’re fun to drink and usually taste delicious and accompanied most major rituals in my life: birthday, Christmas, weddings, funerals…

7 Tactics To Increase Engagement on Your Threads

// THREAD //

People are constantly seeing the same stuff over and over again on their timeline.

This is why you need to learn how to stand out.

When they’re scrolling you need to grab their attention and reel them into something they want to read.

If you think about it, your job is just to get them to click your tweet. Once that’s done, they’ll be reading your other ones in no time.

In order to get them to click you need to show one of these 7 things:
> authority
> experience
> value
> lesson
> mystery
> opinion
> numbers

The easiest way to write headlines based off of these things is to write out your audience’s objections.

Then, indirectly counter their objection within your headline (sounds cool right?).

An old copywriting trick 😉

1. Authority

“Why should I read your thread? What have you done that makes me trust you”

Headline:
“$97,840 in Profit This Month Using This 5-Step Plan to Make Landing Pages”

Authority shows people you know what you’re doing by telling them a true stat/claim.

I have already left both Facebook & Instagram. We need to keep agile.

Act of 1871
This is Long but it will end with a BOOM

With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten-mile square parcel of land (see, Acts of the Forty-first Congress,”

Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62).
The act — passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War — was a strategic move by foreign interests (international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers

and neck of America.
Congress cut a deal with the international bankers (specifically Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation without serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their

foot in the door of the United States.
The Act of 1871 formed a corporation called THE UNITED STATES. The corporation, OWNED by foreign interests, moved in and shoved the original Constitution into a dustbin.

With the Act of 1871, the organic Constitution was defaced — in effect vandalized and sabotage — when the title was capitalized and the word “for” was changed to “of” in the title.

If you know me, you know I don't like broadcasting details about my personal life on this website, but I have been getting asked why I'm not doing Christmas this year so I just wanna put this whole mess to bed. First of all, I don't agree with gay marriage... (1 of 4,625)

... full of dog food and she said, "I'm pretending this is ice cream! Treat me like a baby!" and proceeded to hump her own arm and I thought, "something tells me this isn't the real Norah Jones"... (117 of 4,625)

...cost me $7,000. I had to put it on two separate credit cards! It wasn't 'til I got to my car that I realized "that's way too expensive for one onion." But I didn't have time. Amanda Seyfried was begging to change my diaper... (1,001 of 4,625)

...another Christmas miracle. Mistletoe, stockings, sleigh bells, snow! All these things I have put up my ass. The taste of coffee... (2,974 of 4,625)

...I felt a *very* cold finger on my cheek and I turned around and I said, "Grandma?" and she goes, "Surprise, I'm alive and I work at Sears!" I said, "okay"... (3,047 of 4,625)

Did you know?
Ahilyabai Holkar was one of India's
greatest women rulers of all time.

Ahilyabai was Born on May 31,1725 in the village of Chondi,Jamkhed distt,Maharashtra to a man named Mankoji Shinde,who was the Patil(Chief) of a village and a member of proud Dhangar Community.


Despite the fact that girls' education was a farther dream in those days, Ahilyabai was homeschooled by her father.
Ahilya didn't belong to any royal family but in a twist of fate she is still remembered as one of the most revered Queen in the history.


While they were living their humdrum lives, one day Malhar Rao Holkar, commander of the Peshwa Bajirao & Lord of the Malwa stopped in Chondi on his way to Pune, where he couldn't help but notice a young 8yrs old Ahilyabai in the temple service feeding the poor & hungry.

He was so impressed by the sheer innocence&beauty with simplicity character of Ahilyabai dat he asked her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao Holkar.Just like that she got married to Khanderao in 1733 at a tender age of 8&became a bride of esteemed Maratha community of Holkars

But destiny had something else in store for her as her husband died in the Battle of Kumbher in 1754 leaving her widow at 29.Distressed Ahilyabai was to commit Sati when her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
