A3 #AAUWAsks I wish I had known to make a long term plan that first summer, particularly making a list of all the deadlines for fellowships & grants in the fall. I highly recommend folks map out their coursework & comps timeline too.
A3 #AAUWAsks I also recommend new grad students take time to meet with peer mentors (folks ahead of you in the same program) to get insight into college/university/department specific opportunities you should be prepared to apply for in the future.
A3 #AAUWAsks I’ll also add that finishing your first year as a PhD student is a big deal. Summer is a good time to assess how that first year went, check in with yourself to ensure this is what you want to do & do things that remind you you’re a whole human not just a student!

On a daytime coffee date, a man told me about how he cured himself of epilepsy by using The Secret™️. At the end of the date he asked where I lived & I said, half jokingly “don’t be a stalker.” He replied “When you say that you’re telling the universe you want a stalker.” 😳😳😳
I walked the opposite direction of my house to a well-lit public park where I called a friend and sat for a while until I was sure he wasn’t following me. He texted me every day for two weeks after.
This is all to say: worst dates for women often mean harassment & violence rather than funny stories. #partypooper #MeToo #feministkilljoy

Don’t talk about #Stonewall50 if you’re not going to support trans ppl.
Don’t celebrate #Stonewall if you’re not going to fight for queer & trans ppl of color.
Don’t claim OUR history if you don’t intend to continue to struggle for freedom & justice for ALL queer & trans folks.
This means supporting sex workers.
This means fighting for disability justice.
This means condemning the prison industrial complex.
This means recognizing cis privilege.
This means no fucking cops & corporations at #Pride.
This means not being content until ALL OF US can live our lives free from racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, classist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, Islamaphobic violence in a nation that provides the food, housing, education, & healthcare we need to thrive.

Thread: Throwing a badass inclusive, accessible, feminist party is a challenge yall. I bought food for so many different dietary needs, ensured my party space is wheelchair accessible & has plenty of seating for folks of all sizes.
I’m providing alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages & the first part of the night is family/kid friendly for my parent friends. I’ve got party favors, games, photo wall, & of course the pool.
In regard to guests bringing friends, I wrote that folks can bring whomever: “so long as your guests don’t do or say anything racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist or transphobic to other guests. In other words, bring ppl you trust to be good humans in a QTPOC-centered space.“

Though I decided to make the hard decision to close the @weareblktechclt space, I am grateful for the outpouring support from community and true supporters whose lives we touched. Folks who prayed for us, brought their babies into our space, gave back relentlessly to our cause.
Sometimes the hard thing about hard things is making strategic decisions to end the suffering. To extract ourselves from unnecessary hardships.

In this case, we were spending a great deal of resources and time simply trying to operate a physical space.
In an effort to activate space consistently, we created jobs, cultivated community, hosted government officials, turned compelling conversations into safe space for discourse and discovery on the Black experience in #CLT.

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
