Hey everyone! I'm using my first tweet in nearly a year to invite y'all to follow me on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/crysta… I don't anticipate a return to Twitter after this message. Many blessings.
They invented case law references out of whole cloth, y'all, with no expectation that the clerks would check their work. Simply astonishing. Just wow.
Judge says "none" of the cases cited by Michael Cohen's lawyer in his request to end his supervised release early seem to exist trib.al/MperkDd
Whoever coined the term "velcro dog" most certainly had my little fluffer in mind. This guy follows me everywhere and snuggles me mercilessly and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm using my very last verified tweet to say: This platform has become the Green Acres of social media. What utter dumbassery this decision is.
I’m getting word from several people that the Tyre Nichols video is bad. Like… worse than we’ve seen in a long time, and that’s saying something. A reminder that you can turn off video Auto-Play in your Settings. You don’t owe anyone anything. You don’t have to watch.
The North Star, one of the most influential antislavery newspapers in the pre-Civil War U.S, was published by Frederick Douglass between 1847 and 1851. A newly digitized issue from 1848, held @NMAAHC, is now available to transcribe: transcription.si.edu/project/48606.
My dog when I disturb him in any way while he's trying to sleep
My intuition is trustworthy.
What's something new you've discovered about yourself in the last year? 💭
I literally just emerged from this kind of disaster. A validating must-read for Black women who are given the so-called "dream job" they want with none of the resources (personnel, stable working relationships, room for trial/error, etc.) they need: yahoo.com/video/black-wo…
"My dear Mr. Hughes: I am the author of a three act dramatic play on Negro family life. I have tentatively chosen as a title for this work a line from one of your poems. The line is: 'a raisin in the sun.'" Lorraine Hansberry to Langston Hughes & his reply bit.ly/3tYytUf
I'm gleaning that Twitter has fired the staff who once provided contextual subtitles for trending topics. I really miss the meaningful blurbs that once accompanied the numbered links.
I guess I should write this, since rumors of Twitter's imminent obsolescence abound: I learned so much about what it means to truly be an empathetic, golden-rule following, informed human being through the relationships and ideas that I accessed here. Thank you, Twitter. ♡
This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is *actually* critical to the survival of our economy & society. Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it. Workers > Billionaires
Insecurity is a heavy coat. It slows you down. Some people benefit from you living under the weight of it. You’re not one of those people. Get free.
I got my very first dog today. A 9-week-old Maltese that I've named Joy. We became best friends the moment we met-- instantly inseparable. I'm so glad he's here, even if he *is* on my side of the bed. ❤
