I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix
This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is *actually* critical to the survival of our economy & society.
Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.
Workers > Billionaires
This is pretty much what I've been thinking but... yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here is my hottest take: I actually don't think this is the end of Twitter. I think what happens is, in this order: 1) Twitter crashes due to the World Cup, and/or some point in the next week becomes inoperable as it's staffed currently.
