At least once a year I think of that scene in Better Call Saul when the con artists he works with call him the worst lawyer ever, and he says, "I just talked you down from the death penalty to six months' probation. I'm the best lawyer ever."
I’m pretty in tune with technology trends because it is literally my job to be and while I cannot keep up to date with every change in the current, the fact that I heard of web3 for the first time just yesterday is definitely leaning me towards “this is astroturf BS”

@atothemfjb oh im saying i think some folks had panic attacks for the first time.
i think a lot of people freaking out about masks had panic attacks in them and didnt know how to deal. and tbh they really do suck and you feel like you cant breathe and are dying.
why is the mail still fucked https://t.co/RrdnzkcZei
seriously, unfuck the mail, joe
@paruatsabi maybe, but also claustrophobia, a sense of restricted breathing.... it was a panic trigger for me at first and still can exacerbate it, so i've learned some coping methods.
@kjzack6 one's first panic attack is a life changing event in my experience!
tbc i wear a mask. im just saying panic attacks are horrid (vast understatement) and a lot of folks found new anxieties in this dreadful scary time. some have dealt, others turned fear into a weapon and hurt others.

Hi, can we talk about this? https://t.co/EPoSRjGUvQ
That’s why the highlighted passage is so incredibly harmful. It tells qualified Latiné journalists who didn’t even know the job existed that they’re not good enough. It tells the wider public “sorry but there were just no good Latiné candidates out there.” Neither is true.
If hiring a Latiné journalist to cover government and politics in Oregon was a priority, it would’ve been done. Full stop. Engaging that community would have been one of the bullet points in your posting right under how many years of experience and other credentials you expect.
But this was obviously a national search effort. And you’re telling me you couldn’t find similarly qualified Latiné journalists anywhere in the U.S.? I’m sorry, but either they turned you down or you weren’t trying hard enough. And that deserves space somewhere. (I guess here.)
And before I go any further it’s worth noting that everyone pictured above has journalistic bonafides. Look ‘em all up. They’ve done great work.
Where did you post the position? How long was it advertised? Who did you reach out to? What does your own network look like? There’s no shortage of Latiné journalists with 5+ years of experience out there.
The cynical read of this tidbit is that it’s meant to head off criticism of the homogenous makeup of this new newsroom in a state that’s ~12% Latiné. The generous read is that hiring managers tried but came up short. But the latter begs so many questions.

@tuckwoodstock Ohhhh sorry I just learned about it and shared it with my wife because she's always sending emails at like 2 or 3 am!! I think if you work for yourself, send emails when you want! My concern would be clients starting to think I will jump to reply to then at any hour...
@tuckwoodstock Honestly, anyone using email with 24x7 sound notifications is using email wrong. And I don’t think most folks freak out over a timestamp. Especially when it’s not uncommon in any business to have international contacts, baby parents, etc. Send away!

@tuckwoodstock @TerryBlas We all make mistakes. Some of us repeatedly, in a long thread for the whole world to see.

@tuckwoodstock So it depends. If they're a source, maybe they don't feel your email is work, or maybe they feel it's obvious they don't have to answer it until work hours because they're Power and you're Peon. If they're a peer, it's different. Do they have a work/life balance? You could ask?
@tuckwoodstock @jackie_ess This is an extremely hard question that's fact-specific and depends on corporate culture and power relationships. But if you're sending them, they're probably reading them. And if you ever get a response in realtime, then you know for sure they are.

@markalomaniac wow great point love this take
@rebekahahubbard employees in your own company or outside of your company?
this is a sincere question as stated but regardless I will probably still send emails in the middle of the night, sorry to @jackie_ess for emailing you 1 minute ago.
sincere q: is it unprofessional for me to send work emails at like 9-11pm pacific time? my assumption is that people have their notifications off and can reply at their leisure, but it has come to my attention that other people schedule their emails to send during business hours.

@tuckwoodstock I send whenever unless it's a very rare 3 AM type thing, but don't expect a reply outside of work hours

@westcoastwinter this is helpful. one misconception i've long held is that 26 year old pizzapreneurs love libraries. it's good to have your biases challenged
@tuckwoodstock The reason I schedule my emails to appear during “business hours” is to maintain the illusion that ~I~ have personal / work life boundaries, not necessarily out of a desire to appear professional to others. I hope that helps!
@tuckwoodstock My boss has a sig that says something like: My work hours may be different than yours. Please reply during your own business hours.
Your question doesn't have to be tarmac related
@tuckwoodstock What even is "business hours" in a company with global offices though?
@tuckwoodstock So I can only speak for how lawyers do it, but what you're doing is totally fine. But if you're concerned about it, there's also no harm in having them send during business hours. So basically, you're fine either way.

My issue of The Funambulist arrived this afternoon. It looks stunning @ztsamudzi! https://t.co/PfIs2PVQlY
Shocking that Linehan is now turning on 'gender-critical' feminists because they are criticising *him*. It's almost as if white men obsessed with (white) women's 'protection' see us as their rightful property, and use us as a pretext for perpetrating violence and abuse 🤔
@mazdaroyale @ztsamudzi Yes, melatonin production, circadian rhythmicity. It’s a deliberate mess.
@ztsamudzi And the generators make so much noise, and emits noxious gasses that it’s such a violent use of light and sound.
@RahawaHaile So so glad/grateful/over the moon that you’ve got it 💚
@bolekaja1001 @wagatwe Dig it out for what? Ick
@Gr8SageEqlofHvn That’s embarrassing because it was never worth anything lol
@wewatchwatchers An assault on almost all sensory fronts, that’s colonial efficiency
“High-mast lighting is not technically efficient in lighting dense self-built neighborhoods, as it casts dark shadows on the pathways.” The lights are on the settlements’ peripheries, “shining from above & into them, rather than from within.” (Photo by the great David Goldblatt) https://t.co/gP6ZlMr5bI
Can’t help but think of @wewatchwatchers’ writing about lantern laws and surveillance illuminations in this great piece about apartheid & high-mast lighting in Khayelitsha/CPT’s townships https://t.co/Xu05nhH4FA
@GadzooksB Got it got it! I was like ?!?! Sorry bout that
@AngelNafis It was SO exciting to see!!!!!!!!
@GadzooksB Nothing I’ve said implies his benevolence or negates the fact these gains were made because of workers’ struggle, but do go on lol

Let’s not do that disciplining work on academia’s behalf.
Nice as it might be to be the only black person in the room, you’re often not there simply because you’re good: it’s because white people bank on you becoming territorial, that they can uplift you for the sake of diversity and count on you to sabotage others.
That isn’t always common amongst black scholars, especially with tenure. But she really models an intellectual fellowship and rejection of black exceptionalism/tokenism that German Studies and many other disciplines continue to nurture.
I appreciate this thread and especially coming from Tiffany who, as I was trying to get my bearings with my dissertation and still am in/around the field, she was nothing but generous in her committee support, general mentorship, and resource sharing.

So you can either deal with the anxiety and the tension to drive solutions in a fundamentally important way, or you can re-entrench white supremacy yet again. The choice is yours.
Under those conditions we'll see: - more misconduct - more destruction of the marginalized family - more incarceration All of which upholds the permanence of white supremacy.
It's not just happening Nationally. It's happening locally. So many different news agencies have talked about how PDX needs to hire more cops without a thought of the long term ramifications upon marginalized communities of bringing the old guard back underneath bad management.
The promotion of anxiety in this way is persistently causing a fight between those who want to change social conditions permanently and those who want to return to status quo of old so they can feel better. https://t.co/vIJfxgVHzT
