If you’re thinking of flying internationally to attend WWDC if you get a golden ticket (or any other US conference):

Please reconsider. Don’t come.

You can protest this administration by not coming and not spending your tourist dollars here

And don’t forget it’s just not safe to travel here.

Instead of coming to America to attend WWDC you can fund my wife’s kickstarter.

Lines in Art: A Children’s Picture Book for Looking at Art

A playful way to slow down, notice details, and connect with your children through real masterpieces.

@schwa If you have to fly into a US airport, it's being recommended to not plan for late night flights, when staff may be tired.

@schwa on that note, I was incredibly surprised to see 2600 making such a big deal about HOPE conference being in Manhattan this year. Read the room, guys… 🤨

@schwa no way would I ever go again to that shithole country. THEY BOMBED A PRIMARY SCHOOL. Even the Nazis didn't do that.

@Tabitha_Ormiston_Smith @schwa

Yes they did.

One example: September 1942, London. A German bomb wrecked a school on the south coast of England. 20 boys were killed along with the head master a woman teacher and another woman.

30 injured were taken to a hospital.

They also hit hospitals.

@schwa Plus there's that whole licking boots of oppressors thing. Do you REALLY want to support that?
Show threadJonathan Hendry9h ago

@schwa

Yep. Anyone flying to the US for WWDC should clear 3-12 months of their calendar, pay their rent/mortgage in advance, and get a leave of absence pre-approved.

@schwa @graemek I think it’s probably plenty safe to travel here, it’s the leaving bit that gets messy >_>

@shadowbottle @graemek Well if we ignore all the lunatics with guns, and measils, sure.
