Many thanks to @elle_hunt for talking w/me about waiting out COVID in NZ.

Watching the rest of the world from NZ is like watching a horror movie. You know when you about "don't go in the creepy basement!" at the screen? It's like that, but real life. 🧵

My friend who just arrived in the UK is in quarantine. "And I'm going out to get takeaways later," he says.

Me: But you're in QUARANTINE!

Him: Yeah, but you can leave for takeaways or grocery shopping.

COVID is still contagious at grocery stores! 2/x

Okay, you know those "cute" promoted Tweets where some random person with 17 followers is saying "I had mac and cheese today"? They're used to bolster fake profiles. Here's how it works. 1/x A Tweet with a lot of likes makes an account look legitimate, so when someone sees this account frothing at the mouth about how they love Del Taco, vaping, acid-wash jeans or some political policy, you'll believe they're real. 2/x

Many Americans think that women got the vote by asking nicely. They didn't.

After 50 yrs of little progress how did they finally get action? They protested in ways that enraged Americans. For a time, they were reviled.

History thread incoming! (Photo: @librarycongress ) 1/10 On March 3, 1913, during Woodrow Wilson's Presidential inauguration, the National Women's Party held a protest march in DC. Imagine if the Women's March in 2017 had been on Inauguration Day. Imagine the anger at women's incivility and lack of respect. It was like that. 2/10

The kneeling protests, at their core, are protesting murder. Rather than co-opting a black protest and drowning out their issue, why not look to a protest from another country: the incredibly effective Iceland Women's Strike. Warning: history incoming! 1/8 Though women in Iceland got the vote in 1915, they otherwise struggled to achieve parity. In 1970, the Icelandic feminist group Red Stockings proposed that women go on strike. But most women felt this was too radical and confrontational. 2/8
