@vijayiyer We'll all need a Green Book (https://archive.org/details/TheNegroMotoristGreenBook194026/page/n7/mode/2up) to tell us where it's safe to stay.
I went by 5901 Adeline St. Oakland today.

@tomhunt it’s been a quarter century - could you kindly refresh my memory?

@vijayiyer The Green Book was how traveling jazz musicians and other African-Americans could travel from town to town. When twitter self-destructed, we needed a social media version to tell us where we would be safe (relatively) and welcomed.
Maybe I pushed that metaphor a bit too far.
