Dear white women. The Handmaids Tale did not "predict the future," it is — without exaggeration — based on the real treatment of Black and Indigenous people thru history. It HAS happened, its BEEN happening, its just for the first time it is happening to YOU. Get it together.

There is no “pro life movement.” Pro-life would be pro-healthcare, school lunches for hungry kids and mercy for migrants fleeing literal death. Pro-life would fight poverty and fund kids education and kids and maternal healthcare. Call them what they are: a forced birth movement.

Canada owns the most of the mines in Africa, but they’ll tell you here that China is colonizing the continent.https://twitter.com/nyeusi_waasi/status/1522728423973654528 …

Cape Town is never going to be "the tech hub of Africa" if all the events are 80% white males. Sorry, not sorry.

So many people citing The Hunger Games and The Handmaid’s Tale today, forgetting the meta critique of both books is that they are founded on the conceit of, “What if we treated white people the way we already treat people of color?” Irony thick enough to stand a spoon in.

It’s #NationalHonestyDay, what better time to hear from a few of the leading voices in Big Tech on what they really think of some of the issues plaguing their platforms…

I'm by no means a climate or sustainability guru, but it infuriates me to see supposedly smart people on here and elsewhere say climate change is not a concern for Africa. Literally the opposite is true. Africa's climate nightmare is not only real, it's been here for some time.https://twitter.com/mulindwa_guy/status/1520295149250781184 …

You might have chosen a bad conference location if your conference has "world" in the title but 2/3 of the world can't get visas to attend.

We promise not to sell Firefox to a billionaire.

i'm tired of the AI papers that are always like "we made a system that can tell if you're gay, if you're cute, if you believe in god, if you're trustworthy, if you're memorable... uh UHHH but we're doing it to <shuffles papers, looks around> to... um... to STOP discrimination :)"

Or or hear me out, normalise working fewer hours so you can nap at your fucking home and have a fucking lifehttps://twitter.com/aashi__02/status/1517051866223243265 …

No board should look like this in 2022 but even less so the board of an African startup.https://twitter.com/Ekambos/status/1517672047694036992 …

The irony of ‘black people don’t feel pain’ racist trope is some empirical evidence suggests we may in fact be more sensitive to pain, that is to say feel pain more intensely…which makes sense theoretically, repeated exposure to distress & trauma can lower response thresholds.

Do you realise that African people have been bought and sold between nations continuously at least for the last 4 centuries? When does it stop?

People often assume that capitalism is defined by "markets and trade". But markets and trade existed for thousands of years before capitalism. Capitalism is only 500 years old. So what is distinctive about this economic system? Three things (well, more, but three for now):

Not a @nytimes article saying that the web is representative of "our collective mental state as a species." Never mind the years & years of scholarship of how this is not true and the dangers of starting with this assumption. How can a newspaper misinform the public like this?
