Me: I don't know this person, but this thread is a really great read.

Don't Be This Person: Random Annoying Factoid About Person Who Wrote Thread That Has Nothing To Do With The Point.
Me: I smell Natural Gas.

Don't Be This Person: You didn't smell anything. Natural Gas has no smell.

Me: I know that. BUT THERE IS AN ADDITIVE IN IT TO GIVE IT AN ODOR SO YOU KNOW IT'S LEAKING SO THE WORLD DOESN'T GO *BOOM* YOU NITWIT PEDANT!!
Me: Opens up about something horrible that happened to me years ago.

Don't Be This Person: That didn't happen.

Me: Imagines smacking other person upside the head, and then telling them "that didn't happen."

Dear Men:

NO.

You hear that?

NO.

No to what, you ask? It doesn't matter right now. What matters is that you need to be able to hear the word "NO" and say "Okay" and accept it.
LOUDER FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SEEM TO HEAR THIS:

NO!!

Grow up and accept that you can't get a "YES" every damned time you want one!!

Women have the right to say "No" and still feel safe.

Learn it, teach it to your sons, to your fathers, to your uncles, cousins, brothers....
Being male (especially white male) does NOT entitle you to hear the word "yes" every time you want something.

And just because you're bigger and stronger, you think it's okay to intimidate women when they say no? Do you?

Oh sure, you say "that's not okay" but some of you do it.

I wrote the following two years ago, and I stand by it - even more so, now:
This is directed at anyone who feels that their beliefs supersede the rights of others, or who believes that their own personal moral stances and choices entitle them to commit violence - in word or deed - against those with whom they disagree.
To those who consider themselves the "normal" human beings, and see everyone else - Women, Asians, Hispanics, Black people, Native Americans, Gays, Lesbians, Transgender, Disabled, Muslims, and so on as "Other" - know this:

We are not the "others" in this equation.

You are.

I hijacked a bus today.

Well, sort of.

You probably think I'm kidding.... I'm not.
I went to Lake Eola for a bit today, but wasn't really feeling it - so I wandered off to some nearby parks.

I knew what time the last bus was. I knew where I had to be, and at what time.

So I was EARLY. Last bus and all, right?
Bus was supposed to leave the station downtown at 7:30 pm. I was on Orange Ave, waiting for it, at 7:10. A good twenty minutes before it was due to leave, and a few blocks away.

7:30 came and went. So did 7:45. And 8:00. It's been late before, but I suddenly realized....

Men Are Scum - Story #Thread
Battery full! I unplugged my phone then sat on the edge of the bed as I scrolled through notifications from different social media platforms, some needed to be replied immediately but no, I just wasn't in the mood to reply them yet. I was still going through the notifications
then saw a tweet from one of my feminist idols, the tweet read thus:

"I'm about to do a thread, another experience...*sighs* men are just scum"
I wasted no time diving into her twitter timeline, I followed the thread with rapt attention and retweeted, it was indeed a

Oh boy I feel a #twitch mentality discussion coming on.
Somebody stop me before it becomes a #thread .
Seriously 'gaming' the system. 'grind' . 'harming numbers' im seeing a lot of these terms. And don't even get me started on the 'leave your link and ill check out' stuff.
TOO LATE! Alright, I was saving this for a series of videos, but whatever - feels good to vent. First off, I know - who am I?
This Non-partner idiot talking like he has a clue about anything.
Valid point. And to be honest one I don't have the answer to.
This is only what I FEEL - and what I
believe. And compared to the 80,0000 folks I see per day randomly spamming Bullshit in desperation for 'the grind'? hell - I'd say a belief carrys
at least some weight.

#Fight4Naija
Today is an exciting day for this campaign as we will be sharing the most important issue in our ambitious plan for Nigeria that shows our readiness to govern from Day One. I will be telling you how we intend to lift 80 million Nigerians out of poverty. #Fight4Naija
We expect citizens to hold us to account for every word we say and every promise we make, not just on our innovative solutions for tackling poverty which I would be sharing today, but on our entire manifesto to be released to the public on Friday. #Fight4Naija

The BBC is running a 'fake news week'. To mark the occasion, I thought I'd do a thread. 'Fake news' is a very unhelpful term, which describes at least three different problems, which have three different solutions. #Thread
There is monetised fabrication. People knowingly pumping out rubbish ('The Pope supports Trump') because it's a way of making money through Facebook / Google's ad-revenue model. My colleague @carljackmiller covered it brilliantly here for @BBCClick bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…
This is driven in part by programmatic advertising: ad-tech follow USERS around, and advertise on sites they visit, irrespective of how truthful it is. This is where tech solutions CAN work - ie de-rank / de-monetise etc. Some evidence that's working too. engadget.com/2018/09/14/fac…

#THREAD: #mylifewithstan

There’s a scholar that I used to teach. His name is Stan. He’s wild. We’re really close and he often reaches out to me to keep me updated. Trust me. You want to read everything this child has to say.
Got my weekly call from Stan today. School has begun. Stan seems to have issues with all of his teachers...

Me: So tell me about your day...

Stan: There’s not much to tell. I was in and out of the dean’s office all day.

Me: It’s DAY TWO!
Stan: Actually, its day 233 of the actual year. I learn all year round.

Me: Okay Stan. Why were you in the dean’s office?

Stan: Because I gave the teachers advice.

Me: What kind of advice?

Stan: Well, the art teacher didn’t know what she was doing.

Oh my #NXIVM directly connected to Canada, @HillaryClinton and @SenSchumer 👹 NYC must be feeling a little edgy? Wonder if Trudeau’s name will come up? #TickTock

#NXIVM has been on the radar of FBI for years and journalists who covered them were punished. The swamp is a draining.

WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K? God help whoever let #nxivm continue knowing all of this 🤦🏼‍♀️
