Loving the exploration of the harmful feedback loop of social and mainstream media in #MeghanandHarryNetflix.

Anyone else have a weird useless flex that your brain refuses to let go even though it wouldn’t matter anyway?

Mine is that I’m too tall to be a Rockette. I can’t dance for shit.

I'm old enough to remember when Yahoo! Groups unceremoniously nuked every single LGBT mailing list overnight, leaving people completely untethered from communities they had relied on and loved. When that happened, we got angry at Yahoo. And yet when people flee from Twitter, anger is directed at those "defectors". Twitter is not a country, and we were not its citizens. It is a corporation. If Twitter is driving people away, it's Twitter's fault. It's not our job to fix it. #noxp

@kaydubatl it is!
I love the choice to go with the Rankin Bass-style North Pole. Not the North Pole I imagined as a kid so slightly less wistful for me personally. But def a contender.
