How about:

LGBTQ+ folks mobilized & demanded help

We didn’t sit around waiting for the government to get its shit together. We organized vaxx events at our *bars*, we told our friends, many abstained from sex while waiting to get vaxxed

Just like we had to do in the 80s & 90s

When will the design systems community finally evolve from the term "design tokens" to the term "vibe controls"?

Name a better design system team. I'll wait.

(but seriously, so grateful to work with these folks)
Feeling grateful that I got to meet and spend time with many of my @githubdesign coworkers last week in Nashville 💖

Fun fact: when you're listed as the informant on somebody's death certificate, sketchy "realtors" call you for months asking to sell your dead loved one's non-existent real estate.

Does anybody know how to stop getting these calls?

Earlier this week we GA'd a new Dark High Contrast theme for @github, along with an overhaul of our underlying color system. github.blog/changelog/2021…

Here's how absurd our healthcare system is:

In the U.S., it costs $2,000 a month for Truvada, an HIV-prevention drug, but just $8 in Australia.

The greed of the pharmaceutical industry is killing Americans.

No American should pay more than $200 a year for prescription drugs.

Cops don’t wear masks because the kind of people who become cops don’t care about the health and safety of others. If they cared about keeping others safe, they wouldn’t become cops.

(Also, this article discussses video I shot in a Brooklyn bodega.)

A massive crowd is gathering for justice for George Floyd and an end to police violence. We are at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn NYC. The crowd has their hands up and is chanting, “No justice, no peace.” I’ll be posting photos and videos throughout the protest. [thread]

Instead of investing in 5 bored cops to catch poor turnstile jumpers let’s invest in fixing the subway!

I feel like I'm trapped in a world of overlays. What's the deal UX people? The user experience of a zillion overlays stinks. It seems like a lazy solution to problems that would be better solved in other ways. Getting really sick of it. Overlay. Overlay. Overlay.
