We’re always proud of the work we publish and recently our brilliant writers have taken it to new levels! #ICYMI here’s a roundup from @MollyRingwald, @JillFilipovic, @VABVOX, @ashleyn1cole, @Echidne, @sarahljaffe, @chgrimaldi, @DrStaceyPatton, @robinmarty, and @thebookslut:
.@MollyRingwald: “Strangely, despite having lived with the threat of a ruthless criminal striking in such proximity, I felt safe. I suppose this is a testament to my parents and the psychological security they provided me.”

.@JillFilipovic: “When young, white men do lash out by shooting up their schools, the media too often frames their actions as men provoked by women’s (understandable) actions to separate themselves from the kind of guy who would shoot up a school.”

Last night, the @CommerceGov said it would add a citizenship question to the #2020Census. In theory, it’s about getting an accurate count for purposes of the Voting Rights Act. In reality, it’s a racist xenophobic move with severe long-term consequences. commerce.gov/sites/commerce…
The census is an incredibly important tool that touches so many aspects of American lives. It’s the foundational data for everything from voting rights for black people, median earnings for women versus men, fertility rates, and more.

The census is also the tool used to draw federal and state political districts and it helps determine what federal dollars get spent where. damemagazine.com/2017/05/15/cen… #2020Census

1st #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what barriers/challenges have you faced/overcome in your career path?'

Overwhelmingly, discrimination, issues related to being the only woman in their place of work, and childcare were cited most #WomeninSTEM
1. "In several of my positions, I have been the first woman hired. There have been challenges proving that I am as intelligent and capable as my male colleagues. I have faced bias, as well as discrimination in pay and acknowledgment of my capabilities."
2. "I have not had any barrier for being a woman but I think sometime I have created my own barriers: low ambition, being too prudent and now I realize I had to think bigger to achieve bigger things. My main challenge has being to juggle my work and my role as mum of 3 children."

So after my Twitter thread yesterday on how "Nigerian Twitter influencers" make money and an estimate of what they make daily and monthly, I've been getting DM's from people that are interested to learn how they can go about being an "influencer".

Issa #thread!
This thread won't cover how you can become an influencer though. I told y'all the sweet money making parts yesterday and I don't blame anyone for wanting to join the Twitter influencer clique. However, it's not all rosy on this side. Especially for people that are looking to...
...become "influencers".

First of all, I'd like to tell y'all that there are cliques that get all those deals I mentioned. There are people sitting in position of power at top PR agencies and marketing executives at brands that they have connections with. They get deals...

They couldn't find one #POC to remember for #RepealedThe8th.

Make no mistake, this is how we are stamped out of history created off our backs.

Because this is 'Remembering the Women Whose Campaigning Led to This Historic Voting Turnout' for posterity.
Sure, I didn't have even the startup loan, or the ability to source popup stores, or mass produce a single branded product behind a Middle Ireland four-letter name,

but @irishtatler still saw fit to include a photo of ppl wearing my merch in print? So why not give a voice?
Also, it is. CRIMINAL. that @JanetOS_ - included in #BBC100Women, a key rallying force behind ARC, blatantly and unceremoniously silenced for being too 'inconvenient' and diverse and honest in her approach to the ref because she'd been personally affected by it - wasn't included.

Part-Time Work Options for international students going to study in Germany.

Another #thread

Retweet someone from your list might just be applying to study in Germany without your knowledge.
Wondering about work options during your studies in Germany... here I will explore the many jobs you can take up. I understand there are many consideration that affect a students decision to choose a country... Jobs are very important for international students
Before we move forward, I must mention there are two aspects to part-time work. One being the eligibility and laws relevant to part time works options for international students

As an international students, you are allowed to take up part time employment along with ur studies

Today, I found out that some young people I know (ages 15 and 16) are in 'school' Whatsapp groups with teachers.

I salute the dedication of teachers who go beyond, but I think this a very dangerous breach of privacy / work-play balance, and must be stopped.

Here's why: #Thread
1) You cannot join a Whatsapp group without revealing your phone number. This is an immediate risk for minors - the room for abuse is so large I'm stunned that schools allow this. Pedophilia, sexual predation, grooming - all possible when adults have kids' phone numbers.
2) There is also risk of harassment by other kids. I remember my friends in high school (esp girls) who kept phone numbers very private, because they didn't want to be constantly bombarded.

When a teacher makes you join, there's no opt out. Everyone gets your phone number.
