[thinking about how we COULD be doing zoom meetings with puppets instead of our faces but we're cowards]

I need to take action on this email, so it’s important I keep it unread and sitting in my inbox for the next 3, 6, or 12 months so I feel guilt and shame every time I see it which is 20 times a day.

Spicier version: If you hate useEffect, it's probably because you should be using React Query
Another day another instance of me begging y'all to please use React Query for stuff like this.
You're writing 3x the code and throwing away all your errors and loading states for no reason.
ALT import { useQuery } from "react-query"; export const useHasRearFacingCamera = () => useQuery( "has-rear-camera", async () => await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: { facingMode: { exact: "environment" } }, }) );

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls.
One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails.
Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

Seeing the tech bros dunking on Senator Blumenthal for the "finsta clip." First q I have is how many of you knew what a finsta was before today? Second, if you are dunking, did you actually watch the hearing?
I'm a teen. I also work in tech policy. Here's my translation for you.

A third school found the remains of Native children buried under their school.
Think about that. Hundreds of bodies of children are being found. That’d be massive news if it wasn’t Native kids. Where is the outrage? Where is the support? Why doesn’t anyone care?

Even if you are fully vaccinated, the CDC recommends against holding a meeting that could have been an email.

I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check.
I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after.
Retweet.!

Philly gave a 22-year-old white graduate student in psychology, with a startup and no healthcare experience, thousands of vaccines to distribute. It ended up being a mess. He took doses home to vaccinate his girlfriend, while cancelling vaccine appointments for the public.
A 22-year-old with no health care background boasted that his Philadelphia start-up could vaccinate between 500,000 and 1.5 million people — and make a lot of money doing it.
City officials gave them vaccines.
Then things went wrong.

Is there a single study more misrepresented than this one? Its lead author is *on the record* recommending cloth masks now because the study DOES NOT find cloth masks are bad compared to no masks, just that surgical masks are *better* for hospitals than poorly-washed cloth masks.

This isn’t personal against Dan or any other dev that got started only knowing basics and “not very well.” I just have to remind the room that opportunity is not equally distributed.

Perhaps the greatest anti-slavery speech ever uttered is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass, in 1852. I wanted to make the speech more accessible. Here’s a thread with an abridged version of the speech we should reread every #FourthofJuly. 1/
