I know that hysteric white woman voice. I was taught to do it. I’ve done it. It’s a disturbing recognition. While I don’t recall ever using it to deliberately expose another person to immediate physical harm on my own cognizance, it’s not impossible. That is whiteness.

@jilliancyork I can’t find it but hive mind - how the 1970s (white) hippie cultural was functionally highly patriarchal and how that informed the racist, misogynist “change the world” culture of the Bay that venerates the lone white male genius/savior archetype of SV.

For the record I don't usually fly business class. Just board past it on the way to the back of the bus.
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
Airline business class demographics are such a pet peeve of mine. In the lounge and on the plane, usually > 80% male, usually white.

Many people who thought this was a good idea in the 90s have since roundly repudiated libertarian internet ideals. Because 1) we live corporeal lives subject to harm 2) those people grew up. Unfortunately no one likes a Cassandra, and many of these voices are no longer in favor.
@Max_Fisher - Max Fisher
The idea of rejecting institutions to build a purer society on the internet, in vogue in tech in the 90s, by the 2010s had become a mandate to abolish and remake those institutions in big tech's image https://t.co/GddbwHGCFK

There’s only so many times a person can show up on panels or in op-Ed pages saying I TOLD YOU SO or ITS THE BUSINESS MODEL before they’re accused of not having new ideas or quietly dismissed as not solution-oriented. This has no direct correlation with their accuracy or nuance.
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
The glaring exception being @doctorow who manages to have an inexhaustible supply of things to say I TOLD YOU SO about which is definitely one way of keeping it fresh!

Did the @nytimes run out of year-end roundups of unlimited budget brownstone renovations and Wirecutter commission links? Can't think of another reason to run such an ill-argued piece. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/28/opinion/jack-dorseys-twitter-signal-privacy.html
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
Does the @nytimes routinely give that much space to non-profit's mission takedowns? Like, here's how XYZ undermines the sustainability of national health systems in developing nations? Or, ABC's mission is thinly veiled racially coded NIMBYism in the guise of conservation?

If pandas can’t breed independently of humans maybe they shouldn’t exist. I said what I said. 🐼 #ByeTwitter

My maudlin sentiment aside, Twitter’s been a real spot for real and really important moments. There are folks trying to reconstruct it, but better. One of them is my friend @gabor. I’m going to try and help him. Hope we might see you all there.

On Monday I shared that I’m building the next public square. I’m calling it T2 for now. You can sign up for the waitlist here: https://t2.social/ Here’s what I learned since then: 🧵

{This is a tweet with an audience of approximately 10 people.} Twitter suddenly feels like a much more witty Wikimedia-l.
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
It’s the multisided marketplace equivalent of a guerilla insurgency.

You’re management, you’re doing dumb stuff, or just stuff you didn’t explain well, and you forgot the users know the platform better than you, creating the actual value, and aren’t afraid to remind you that.

This is a thing that at least 40% of Americans do at least once in their life. https://t.co/GOHMit6zT1

This ‘policy’ is dumb, it’s a sterling exemplar of not understanding your own product, it isn’t exclusively gendered though it’s now a textbook example of implicit bias, the emperor has no clothes.

Happy Election Day! 🗳️ I’m celebrating with a 5am start to drive my favorite CT State Senate candidate, @ccsqrd, to the polls! https://t.co/uqLBgCVycR
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
CT State Senate candidate Ceci Maher is in the car! @ccsqrd has been high-fiving first time voters, making sure our littlest future voters get their stickers, and telling me what backroads to take to get to all eight towns in the 26th district faster. https://t.co/oHKXEBx72Z

It’s been a fun 14 years on this hellsite, kiddos. Thanks for all the fish.
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
Is this about the time Twitter gives up and brings in a woman to fix things?
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
OMG my mom does this too.

Peter Eckersley shared a car with me and my brother to my first Burning Man. 9 years later he still owed me money for the rental, but he also gave me my first taste of Tartine bread on that trip, so I’ll call it even in the end.
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
Peter was famously good at internet security, but borrowed my burner bikes and left them locked up on the street outside his apartment in SF where they were immediately stolen. However, he co-created LetsEncrypt, so I’ll give him a pass.
@krmaher - Katherine Maher
We weren’t the closest, and my adventures with him always left me wondering what I was thinking, but I’m so sad to hear he’s gone so suddenly.
