1/ 🗣 A few words about @_thrdr. A few months ago, I noticed that threads are more and more popular on Twitter 📈
2/ In addition to the fact that I really enjoy them personally, people are using them to actually blog, which was kind of the first idea of this platform. And like the hashtag #️⃣ and RT 🔁 before, it’s becoming a standard.
A lot of "famous" tw users regularly write and share great stories. If you'd like to follow them, I can think of @chrismessina, @BenedictEvans, @levelsio, @sehurlburt, @joshelman, @marting, @fredwilson... But there are so much more! And not only in the tech industry.
4/ In my opinion, this format was not highlighted enough. ⚠️ BUT, recently, it seems like Twitter is paying more attention. They made several attempts & features to point them out.
5/ They’re currently testing a tweetstorm beta feature to help you write threads. Not sure when/if they’ll release it to the public.

6/ They did communicate on how to properly thread
7/ They even have a dedicated documentation for that
business.twitter.com/en/blog/How-Tw…
8/ Twitter itself is using the thread format: in their communication, to talk about their new functionalities (cc @TwitterSupport)
9/ Here, they even quote one as an example in their developer documentation
developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets…
10/ Twitter Moments are not threads but to me this was also a step forward to let users express and organize their content in a different way.
support.twitter.com/articles/20174…
11/ I actually think Twitter is working on something bigger about threads… 🧐🤫 We’ll see!
12/ To me, one of the reasons why Twitter is working on this is because threads are generating engagement. 📢 Also, you stay on Twitter instead of clicking on an article link, then loading a new page. It’s frictionless.
13/ Anyway, these are a few of the reasons why I decided to work on @_thrdr and I saw the @ProductHunt Global Hackathon as the perfect opportunity to kick my ass off and ship it! 🥇
14/ I think this is an amazing opportunity for Twitter. Users can give and share information, knowledge, stories, personal experiences... And other great contents. Now, my mission with @_thrdr is to offer the best experience ✨
15/ You can subscribe here if you’d like to beta test the product 😉👇

I sent the 3rd issue of Women Make’s newsletter last week. What you don’t know is this issue was kind of a test for me. 🤔
After sending the second issue, I felt disappointed and my moral took a hit.

📉 Open rate felt from 74% to 23%. I know it was supposed to go down after the 1st issue but not that much. It made me wonder, should I continue it if so few people read it? First email sent to 78 people. Open rate is 74%, click rate 48%.Second email sent to 103 people. Open rate is 23%, click rate is 66%.
Plus I spent too much time on it. There was a lot of new members to include. I made research on each one, grabbed the appropriate links, made this section bigger as some members asked for it. Then went to talk to each one individually to add more personal facts. Wayyyyy too long.

I have spent a year reading emergency room bills. I've read about 1,200 of them.

A few months ago, I noticed that one hospital had bills that were *really* different from the rest: Zuckerberg San Francisco General. (1/11)
vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Zuckerberg San Francisco General is the largest hospital in the city.

It is San Francisco's only level one trauma center.

But it is not in-network with any private health insurance plan. (2/11)
This is *really* unusual. Like I said, I have read hundreds of ER bills.

Sometimes doctors are out-of-network. But the ER itself is almost always in-network.

That makes a lot of sense: patients often don't get a choice in where to seek care in an emergent situation (3/11)

Why I deleted Twitter from my phone...

No, it's not clickbait. A few days ago I deleted the Twitter app from my phone. For the last 18 months, on a daily basis, at almost every hour, I've been on this platform sharing content...

I never thread, so bear with me👇

During the same time, my company @BitcoinBravado has put out thousands of hours of free & premium content to more than 65k subs & 1500+ community members and I've LOVED every minute of it.

Bravado isnt going anywhere. In fact its quite the opposite; more on that later...👇

People close to me know my struggle with mental health and then a few months back I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

With sometimes debilitating physical symptoms (muscle spasms, pain, tremors, etc) it's been a scary year in the unknown, health-wise...👇

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

As a kid I heard, "Think Global. Act local." The older I get the more I think of that. So while the news overwhelms us everyday w/ massive problems, I've begun to focus on smaller things I can help. & @DonorsChoose helps me support my local teachers. donorschoose.org/kamau?active=t…
A few months ago, @DonorsChoose noticed me tweeting out their projects & gave me a spot on their National Advisory Council. & now that's it #BackToSchool time they made me a page w/ my local schools in the East Bay whose teachers need support. Here it is! donorschoose.org/kamau?active=t…
There are over $200,00 worth of needs on @DonorsChoose among Oakand, Berkeley, Richmond, Richmond, & El Cerrito. That's a lot, but the East Bay is birthplace & home to some heavy hitters. I'm hoping some of you can help by spreading the word &/or donating. donorschoose.org/kamau?active=t…

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.
