So I was conversing with a dear friend about how much the inauthenticity of social media bothers me deeply. I have a visceral response to it, which causes me to skulk off in a corner and stay quiet. But, she rightfully pointed out that if I don't speak my truth—if I don't show up as the authentic presence that I crave— then I am just contributing to the current dynamic. A non-vote is a vote, especially this year.

@JustPruNow Welcome back, Pru! Hope you're feeling better. My mentions are suddenly alive & kicking again with you being back. You inspire me in many ways (including tweeting again for the first time in ages).

Have spent the past few weeks experimenting with #midjourney and the past two days with @OpenAI's #dalle2. #AIart is consciousness-expanding, therapeutic, and a whole new portal to two of our most healing emotions: curiosity & wonder. #AI Image thread >
Moving story of how we can be brave, even while being terrified. Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Dr. Fryer's speech, which changed DSM classification of homosexuality. I'm a member of the APA, yet never knew one person had changed its course. nytimes.com/2022/05/02/healt…

First (hopefully directly effective) places to donate. Join me, if you can!
2. Donate money to support the Ukrainian Army. You can transfer money to the following accounts:
🇺🇦 bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/nats…
🇺🇦 savelife.in.ua/en/donate/
3. Organize street protests in your city to support Ukraine and condemn Russian aggression
Not only do I #StandwithUkraine, but I also want to #HelpUkraine in the most effective & tangible ways possible. Pinning this thread with resources and donation links. If you know of places to send money/aid, please reply or DM. #SlavaUkraini
@mollysternx Happy Birthday, Molly! Wishing you a healthy and happy year with many new adventures & successes.

Time for one very long exhale. Now the real work begins of mending and helping. #LoveNotFear
Doing my best to avoid online stressors, but if you too found yourself here, the thread below is full of knowledge, wonder, & hope. 👇💙
Three years ago, I became a U.S. citizen specifically so I could cast my ballot today and be counted. Here's to choosing love over fear. Please #VOTE today. Every single one of us matters.
If this week feels normal — if you aren’t assisting, supporting, or listening with empathy to the people on our streets demanding equality & that #blacklivesmatter — please examine your priorities carefully. There is no “business as usual” right now & there shouldn’t be.
I’m sad & I’m worried — about the protests, the pandemic, & all the pain spilling out. My heart hurts for everyone who’s scared, betrayed, overwhelmed. If you can help anyone, if you can show empathy, if you have any kindness to give to the world, now’s probably a good time.
Hope you’re all staying safe. My go-to in hard times is to learn everything about the problem at hand. If helpful, here’s a useful summary from one of my favorite rationalist blogs: #covid2019 slatestarcodex.com/2020/03/0…

Happy Holidays, Twitter friends! Whatever you celebrate (or even if nothing at all), may tonight be peaceful & warm for you.
