Black Friday shouldn’t be a thing. Placing retail workers at risk to face unruly hordes of mob mentality deal seekers looking to save $20 on an air fryer is unconscionable. Stay at home. Shop small and local.

TIL I'm blocked by @NeolithicSheep@twitter.com for some reason

I really hate being the point of contact for a company when students are unhappy about a decision I didn't make or don't agree with. I don't know how many times I can say "This sucks, I know, but I am not responsible and can't do anything for you."

Okay, look, I can't sleep so you all get the cranky rant: I have seen multiple people responding to my criticism of Cohost and Mastodon, and Shep's criticism of Cohost and Hive, saying that we're just "haters" who are trying to destroy alternatives to Big Tech. twitter.com/neolithicsheep/sta

I know I’m late to this party, but I would totally party with MADISYNN.

Thank you to @jack@twitter.com for creating this wonderful and terrible space, and to the thousands of people who poured themselves into making this site better.

Twitter made me a more anxious, insecure, thoughtful, engaged, curious, and better person.

I will miss it when it goes. But I’m happy that this ruined the completely fabricated reputation of the avatar of the worst traits of late capitalism in the process.

Twitter is how I learned about the privileges I have, and where I rediscovered a sense of social responsibility. I learned about my blind spots, and how to be empathetic to those who hadn’t discovered theirs yet. I learned the value of crafting rhetoric here.

Show thread

I met so many amazing people here. I was able to keep in touch with so many more. I found a community I never thought I would here — black geeks and furries who had experiences and reference points like mine. And I got to learn about the intimate experiences of so, so many.

Show thread

Here, at the end of Twitter, I find myself…grateful. I don’t think we used this site properly at all, but honestly?? This was an amazing place to be. I loved live-tweeting the Super Bowl and the Oscars. Loved watching people respond to culture touchstones in real time.
