May we all fangirl and be fangirled over. May we be public & exhuberant in our love & appreciation for those who make our lives & world better through their work.
I ran out of characters in the first tweet but clearly there are more people I adore & would love to meet. Including: @TessaThompson_x @terrycrews @nicolebyer @immissmajor @YoEaves...typically a mix of artists, performers, writers & activists. Typically queer & feminist POCs.

Ok last thread before I do actual paid labor today. I can’t engage in debate with someone who elsewhere said they do put not stock in #HealthAtEverySize research bc it could be paid for like alcohol & tobacco industry research, as if #bodyposi is an industry not a movement.
Further, the #dietindustry IS actually an industry that funds research & profits off #fatphobia. But that’s not what I’m here to discuss. Let’s engage with the idea that size is 99% in one’s control.
So this #thoughtexperiment ignores research showing the links between size & genetics, purely engaging with the idea that size is within our individual control & therefore cannot be about marginalization, oppression, privilege & social systems. Let’s begin:

#Thread

#Privilege means you’re given unearned advantages based on a social norm or value. #Race, #gender, #class, #disability, & #sexuality are all major social systems which value certain bodies & behaviors over others.
Fatphobia & slim/size privilege are produced by systems of gender, race & class. How? By the production of beauty norms & medical standards of health which are based on middle class whiteness & directed mostly violently at women.
Thought big booties are recently valued (notably most when they are not on the bodies of black women, especially fat black women), the bodies historically most celebrate were/are thin white women. This is an ideal that harms all women & encourages us to all hate our bodies.

Angela Davis is coming to @UWMadison for the @WUD_DLS in April. What do I have to do to get invited to a meal with her?! Twitter, tell them I’m clearly the faculty member for the job. I’m a black queer feminist activist academic. Davis is one of my heroes! Pick me!!!
Help me out here @uw_diversity, @UWMadisonLS & @4WMadison.

Just heard from the director of the lecture series that I will be added to the list for a small reception with Dr. Davis!!!!

1) Former President Barack Obama arrived in Kenya for his 2-day visit. He is there to inaugurate his sister's "Sauti Kuu Foundation" in which he is involved in, and past reports stated Oprah was going to be with him, but I do not see her?🤔
nation.co.ke/video/news/414…
2) Try not to vomit while watching this 4-min vid by none other than CNN:
"Obama is in Kenya for his sister's project. Then he's off to South Africa"
cnn.com/2018/07/15/afr…
3) A little encouragement after that horrid video - some people are "woke" in Africa & fully aware of Obama's agenda, among other corrupts. One such wonderful woman is @DrMumbiSeraki. In fact, she may be more woke than many in our country: ❤️

Over the past few months I have collected 500+ Trump, Pence and RNC tracking URLs dating back to June 2016. I've shared bits & pieces of this (⏬) as I've been looking under the hood, in search of the truth behind Project Alamo/Trump marketing ops.

THREAD will be ongoing...
The 500+ links are tracking links. They contain custom variables team Trump/Pence/RNC attached to links so they could measure & analyze performance via Google Analytics.

These are UTM parameters: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_param…

I'll share full URL list once I'm done cleaning it up!
You can learn a lot about a marketing program by examining their tracking links. So here's the 1st nugget:

#1: Trump campaign used Facebook Messenger bots to communicate w/voters 1-on-1.

I haven't seen this reported anywhere. If you have, pls send a link!

bit.ly/2xE62Aq was brilliantly written by @deepakshenoy in Feb. I saw it only a couple days ago and it makes me keep going to
More seriously, this is a great illustration of what Charlie Munger calls “pain-avoiding psychological denial.”
He spoke about “a friend of our family had a super-athlete, super-student son who flew off a carrier in the north Atlantic and never came back, and his mother, who was a very sane woman, just never believed that he was dead… That's psychological denial."
