The Alex Jones news really has me conflicted. The last time I left Twitter it was because of abuse from people like that.
Twitter has no reason to change if we stay. But then the harassers get what they want if we go.
I have helped build communities here. I was one of the first #BlackTwitter people here. I couldn't find any other black people here at first.
Haven't decided what to do. But if anyone wants to chat about what a proper response to this is, we can chat on GroupMe, Signal, Slack etc. Let me know.
That ... Person's disinformation campaign is at the root of many problems here. It enables the harassment and abuse of people here. The lies they tell influence people who used to be on terrorist watch lists. Those people are attacking and killing people. It does tangible harm.
So. Tired.

Damn if coffee doesn’t help me more than hurt. #myspoons
I wonder if getting out of the habit of drinking coffee was a daft choice as a #spoonie with multiple fatigue conditions.
Once my body let me get out of bed today, I figured, let me get coffee while I'm up. And wow.
It didn't fix everything (I’m definitely depressed and need a therapist) but damned if I'm not actually getting things done for the first time in 3 weeks.
