Reading this stopped me in my tracks. @choose_org
Lastly, know black folks are tired, scared, hurt & grieving. Let us be.
Stop this performative shit. A black square on social for one day ain’t doing shit. Have us on your shows all the time, not out of guilt or sudden awareness of how unfair the system has been stacked against us.
Think real hard before you “check in” on black folks you follow. Or even your friends. What’s your motivation in doing so? Especially if you haven’t spoken in months or years? 🤔 ponder that before hitting send.
Stop apologizing for being white/for cops/for “those” evil racist White’s (which you’re not!) that’s fucking grating. It’s meaningless & recenters you cause now we gotta affirm you’re a decent person. Stop it.
If you can spare money, donate to bail funds. Which ones? Google that shit. Find one where you live & be useful. Don’t have spare $? Then boost tweets with bail funds linked in them.
Don’t DM/mass tag/text/email/carrier pigeon black mutuals to educate you. We’re sharing loads of resources, bail funds to contribute to every minute. Don’t see those tweets? That’s a who you don’t follow problem, not a black folks help me out problem.
Educate yourself before you engage. If you don’t have all the info? See step one. Repeat, often.
Follow black folks. We’re sharing resources. Retweet. Without dissertation length commentary, especially scolding other white folks. It’s not useful. RT & keep it moving.
White folks wanting to help? Here’s your one freebie. Then I’m off to play video games & enjoy a gummy. So pull up a chair:
Netflix: Are you still watching? Me: Yes Netflix: Ok tell me one thing that happened in the last episode Me: What? Netflix: The guy with the mustache, what’s his name? Me: Why are you being like this? Netflix: *sadly* You’re always on that damn phone
In my role as Director of AI for Social Good at Google Research India, I am humbled to see presentations from domain experts solving key societal problems at our Workshop on AI for Social Good at Google Bangalore- very excited to explore can AI help sites.google.com/view/aiforsoci…
What’s worse: since many of the flash mob already sat on the committees, they *knew* how serious a breach it was to bring devices into SCIF & did it anyways. Our country is a game to them. Remember that the next time they use “natl security” as an excuse for their bad ideas.

We dreamed about PAWS being integrated into SMART several years ago. And it will become true soon!
It is amazing! PAWS has gone this far!
