💙 So much love and gratitude for all my Tweeps. 💙 I'm grieving for what's lost, but what I'll remember more than anything is that for a brief moment in time we all worked at the absolutely most amazing place in the world, with the f*ing best people.

Just spoke to @npr about what I’m now calling “content moderation-washing”: when platforms make a show of good citizenship by a. making an exceptional new policy b. enforced by the least empowered, most precarious workers that c. is relatively easy to implement.
