See thread for why it's fucking exhausting when you tag someone into someone else's mentions.
This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened in my mentions and it's always about something stupid like ghosts or my idea for a restaurant that only serves potatoes. You don't need to tag your resident expert into my life.
If I'm tweeting about something and I don't say, "Hey, can anyone point me to someone who can give me advice?" then it is safe to assume I'm not in need of rescuing by whomever you feel like tagging in.

This is a good thread. I have similar feelings when I see some of the stuff about billionaire romance that goes around, declaring it dead or shallow or inappropriate for our current political climate.
I totally get not wanting to read rich, white, alphole billionaire heroes. But I have a real issue with the idea that poor and working-class women aren't supposed to fantasize about having a lot of money because *ideological purity*.
We see a lot of people in various privileged positions declaring a trope dead while not thinking past their own experiences on the subject. A black author or reader wants a book about black billionaires in a genre dominated by whiteness? There has to be room.

Yesterday, I saw the best clarification tweet I've ever seen, in which someone said basically, "I'm not trying to build up Person A by tearing down Person B. They're both assholes but Person A is just slightly less of an asshole," and I have been thinking about it ALL NIGHT.
I feel like we sometimes think that if we criticize an author or other creative's behavior in a situation, people assume we're picking a side or declaring undying loyalty.
I've publically criticized authors whose work I like. I've publically defended people I'd love to see get hit by cars. Sometimes, it's the context of the situation and not the people involved that someone is commenting on.

So, I just started watching this show called The Good Witch. And I'm only four episodes in and it's basically your standard Hallmark type thing...but with really interesting Witch representation? How did I find this?
It just struck me that there is rarely a show that's like, super wholesome and positive about characters who are Pagan/Wiccan/Witches, etc. I'm so enjoying it.
The cast could use fewer white people. Like, I'm white and I'm having a hard time keeping all the white people straight, that's how many white people there are.

Why I decided to oppose @MBuhari - @bukolasaraki addresses followers in Kwara State 👇

"All that you have complained about tonight is on point, I can not find anything you have said that is not on point, you complained about empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Let us agree that the last 3 and a half years, things have not been easy at all, I agree and accept things have not been easy at all, particularly in the area of empowerment" @bukolasaraki
"Before 2015 I have always tried to empower the youth and get you involved in appointments, but this time around as a result of what I call human factor, things have not been the same, I believe it is the will of God" @bukolasaraki

How CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana compromised the security and lives of millions of Indians under the #SmartCities project by collaborating with shady foreign spy firms who could now exploit our sensitive police data & other realtime info.
gginews.in/picture-intell…
Rakesh Asthana then Police Commissioner was involved in deploying very sensitive Forensic Criminal Investigation Sys requiring real-time intelligence gathering working in sync with police database. Given the nature of work & risks involved it must be handeled carefully. Was it?
“The Face Recognition System & Forensic Criminal Investigation System can offer our police department the much required real-time intelligence to ensure safety of our city and its citizens. We can now proudly say that Surat Safe City is India’s first Safe City.”

#Thread Went to Vizhinjam coast to meet the fishermen who took part in rescue mission in #KeralaFloods . We were filled with positive energy and happiness hearing their experiences (1/n)
We dedicated almost 2 pages for celebrating their mission.On Thursday 8.10 pm Fr.Justin Judin,vicar of Vizhinjam church announced the requirement for boats through public announcement system. In 20 minutes almost 50 boats and 100 fishermen were assembled. Military like formation!
Just see the Engine fan of a fishing boat which participated in the #KeralaFloods rescue mission. Most of the boats are damaged and they won't be able to go to sea for a while. I was blown away by their sacrifice (3/n)

Response to the @OfficialAPCNg Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole by Yusuph Olaniyonu (@YusuphOlaniyonu), Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
"It is rather surprising that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains."
"Having decided not to join the pigs in rolling in the dirt; we would not like to be involved in any meaningless exchange with the demagogue that is now in charge of APC."-#ResponseToOshiomhole

So who wants to hear about my week? Spoiler: it involves struggling to breathe, getting my insides fluoroscoped, and completely changing everything I eat and drink, including giving up all alcohol and caffeine, maybe forever.

You game?
Assuming your answer is yes, here goes:

Last Saturday night I started experiencing shortness of breath — never happened to me before — and I had no idea why.

/2
I thought it was a stress reaction, like some low-grade version of a panic attack. Not unreasonable given that (a) members of my family have had them over the years, and (b) I've been under a terrible amount of personal stress for a long while now.
