Hey folks, a gentle reminder to offer some kindness right now as appropriate.

I know folks are getting their laughs in with #twitterdown and the migration here and elsewhere happening extremely quickly once more. Just remember...

A ton of people are watching the communities they built crumble. Job stability for many people, particularly sex workers, artists, and other creatives are in extreme jeopardy. Some people who need crowdfunding to live are currently terrified of what happens next.

There are valid reasons to hate #twitter but remember to not be mean to people sad about its demise. There is an appropriate way to balance our reactions to this news.

@literalgrill The line I've been making is:

It is OK to make fun of Apartheid Clyde and his absolute clownshoes behavior

It's not OK to make fun of people who are sad, hurt, and otherwise negatively affected by his actions

Punch up, you know?
