Whenever I have a new medical drama to face, I try to focus on gratitude. These women have expanded my writing on women, marginalization, oppression, feminism, more.

There are many women (men, too) on here for whom I am ineffably grateful. Some of you I talk to all the time, some infrequently, but you all help buoy me through these dark times. You share my work, send me cute animals when the health crap is too much. Thank you so much. 💜🌿
There is no question Trump has made us harsher with ourselves and each other. I feel it every day as I interview people for stories. I see it on here. It's crucial we not lose empathy or kindness. Caring for each other is a form of self care. Share some love today. 💜🌿

Do people really think the feminist/women's press, black press and LGBTQ press aren't "real"? Millions of people are reading those venues. This idea that if str8 white men don't run it, it's not authentic journalism is really outmoded and not a little bigoted.
Some of the best political writing in the country is coming from these venues. Step outside that white male box.
I would recommend people read:

Folks love to use my writing for @HuffPost against me, but the fact is, HuffPost is a major news site with various off-shoots of women's, black, Latinx and queer voices and it is run at the top by a black lesbian. So maybe read them regularly in your news feed.

And cue the Biden, Bernie and Harris stans who didn't like my rankings.
If you think Biden did as well as anyone else, he did not. Harris edged out Bernie specifically by addressing environmental racism & not treating audience members dismissively. Warren checked all the boxes.
I thought Bernie was very good--if you are actually following my live-tweeting you can see that. But Warren and Harris were better, specifically because they both relate better to actual humans, which matters. And their plans are doable AND progressive.

Yang had some radical ideas that were interesting. Klobuchar was solidly pragmatic. She was the centrist star. Biden sat, rarely finished a sentence, told stories about his past and got coached repeatedly by Cooper. No clear plan, no good reason to be anti-GND.

Whenever there's a new S-1 from a company preparing for IPO, the reaction is invariably, "woah! the cloud is expensive." At scale, everything is expensive. (1/n)
Let's talk about companies that predated the cloud. Remember when you'd log in to a site and it would be "down for maintenance"? (2/n)
If you worked in tech before the cloud, do you remember how long you had to wait for new hardware? For younger generations: it was measured in MONTHS, not minutes. (3/n)

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

1/n
CW: #Transphobia, #ConversionTherapy, #Zucker, #Religiously #driven #zealotry

2/n
So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

SJW-English Dictionary
@Zemoeki1
Having trouble understanding what SJWs say?

1. You're not alone.
2. It may be simply a case of misunderstanding. They speak their own language, the beauty of which lies in its simplicity.

This dictionary helps you translate SJW talk into English and achieve word peace.
SJW-English Dictionary 01

socialism

A wonderful, equal, just and fair political system. Every good person wants to live in it. (The only exception are the people who actually live under socialism. They usually try to escape from it, the ungrateful bastards!)
SJW-English Dictionary 02

equality

1. preferential treatment
2. quotas to ensure preferential treatment
3. suppressing others to ensure preferential treatment
4. I don't care why I'm behind. I shouldn't be.
5. equality

See also: socialism, communism, feminism.

Just got to Davos. Ready to fill the leadership vacuum with big ideas. My focus will be on privilege and women. Only going to #womanels #methree. Also, my alligator-skin boots got snow on them, anyone have a blow drier or an FT I can use to dry them off?
Thread 1/n: Small ideas feel big when I'm in my Gulfstream, so here it goes: We have to innovate on innovation. The 7th industrial revolution disrupts AND displaces. Artificial intelligence and blockchain can only solve resurgent populism with #compassion.
2/n We elites are critical to making this debate glocalized. Thought leadership also involves thought stewardship. Communities form the core of our economies. Blue collar workers must be re-conceived as #newcollar workers. Code is key.
