1. This took about 30 seconds. 2 hits - same Medium blog.

google.com/search?q=%22pl…
2. The rest of my research took longer but can't draw any conclusions from it.

I wasn't able to find an archive of the now deleted tweet in screenshot to confirm the time zone so it's not possible to say for certain where it was first published.
3. Even if Brianna Wu was the first to publish the screenshot and the blog was second, Wu may have obtained the screenshot from someone else.
4. However, the screenshot is fabricated.

The Medium post links to this TechCrunch article in which James Damore's full complaint is embedded. The pdf is searchable. There is no 18.3.

techcrunch.com/2018/01/08/jam…
5. There are no results for "plaintiff hereby requests".
6. I went through all 28 results for "discuss" and there is no text matching the screenshot text.

1. Something I've learned in 6 years of public fact checking is that many people's feelings don't care about your facts.

A lot of what we believe is based on interpretation which happens through a unique lens of someone's personal experiences, biases, and mental health.
2. All the facts and evidence in the world won't change someone's mind if they don't trust you, don't trust your sources, don't trust the people you're talking about, or engage in dichotomous thinking. dictionary.apa.org/dichotomous-th…
3. There's really not a lot you can do about this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can't control what anyone else says, does, or believes.

1. Any other Asian Americans feeling gaslit by the media and opinion writers saying we’re all terrified to leave our homes? 🤨

Curious what others are thinking about the psychological effects of news stories that keep repeating that we are. 🤔

My DMs are open.
2. I’ve experienced zero anti-Asian encounters since the start of the pandemic.

This is just my experience and I’m not trying to downplay the experiences—including death 😢—that others have had.
3. I have no idea if I’ve just been lucky, if it has to do with the types of stores and towns where I run most of my errands, or if it’s just not as much of a problem in the Greater Boston area as it is in other cities.

1. Lovely to wake up and see a tweet (via quote tweet from friend) from a woman I used to know socially claiming the mantle of victimhood (mild online sexual harassment) when I know she’s guilty of far worse sexually predatory behavior. 🤨
2. But it’s not like I have proof and confronting her would accomplish nothing.

But it really underscores how differently we read stories online when we have more context.

If I didn’t know her I’d likely be more sympathetic. 😕
3. Too tired to pick a fight and without evidence it’s just my word against hers about incidents I was not present for but which multiple people confirmed to me. So I just DMed my friend and gave her a heads up. She had no idea.

1. I’ve been wondering for a while about the etymology of the the term “neoracism” which I started seeing with increasing frequency in 2020.

This thread goes over what I found when I attempted to trace the origin of the term. 🧵 1/26
2. I haven’t been able to find a definitive definition of the new usage of “neoracism” but it appears to be a recent semantic change of the critical theory term “neo-racism” used since the 1970s to refer to “cultural racism”.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_…
oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/o…
3. "A Dictionary of Critical Theory” published by Oxford University Press credits the term to French philosopher Étienne Balibar saying that the term refers to “racism without race” and “emerged in the 1970s”.

1. Went for my annual #mammogram today. 😕 Didn’t bother with pictures so I’m just retweeting last year’s thread.

I lost my friend Caroline last September. She’d been diagnosed with metastatic #BreastCancer before we met and lived 5 years after diagnosis. She was 38. 😔
2. I’m sure that some of you have put off your mammograms due to the pandemic or know someone who has. I would urge you to call and make an appointment. Breast cancer is usually so much more treatable if caught early.
3. My aunt didn’t bother getting regular mammograms or going to the doctor for physicals. By the time she was diagnosed, she had stage 4 breast cancer and she died in her 50s from complications related to it.

If you’ve ever read, watched, or listened to a one-sided article, social media post, news segment, video, podcast, etc. presenting a black & white narrative and felt that something seemed off, it’s because something was. ↓
Anyone telling a black & white story is presenting only a piece of a puzzle.

Even in cases where there seem to be obvious “good guys” and “bad guys” there’s always nuance to any occurrence. ↓
There are at least two sides to every story—more if there are groups of people involved in the story or if there are witnesses.

A story lacking in nuance is nothing more than a one-dimensional story. ↓
