Consider avoiding twitter for at least the next couple days because:
1) there will be a lot of people talking about sexual assault and death, including some people celebrating a suicide and others blaming victims of abuse for the death of their abusers
2) This could be the start of Gamergate 2.0. Know their tactics, block bad-faith arguments, avoid searchable keywords if you don't want to deal with it, lock your account if you feel like you need to.
