Useful terminology for your every day life:
journalists used to love Old Twitter because it was the fastest way to find breaking news, but not all of us are journalists who have been trained in evaluating information and fact-checking and tbh we desperately need to support actual journalism & not rely on algorithmic apps
I can see it tbh

Also: trolls will post threats but walk them back as just hyperbolic humor. And sometimes trans women mix serious takes with nonserious venting (understandable), sometimes with hyperbolic posts that can sound problematic without context (which trolls will omit in screenshots).
Some trolls out there encourage the dogpiling of trans women, often just to be spiteful or even discriminatory. Then, at times, many trans women will express their displeasure around certain takes, which can look superficially similar, but isn't actually a harassment campaign.
This is actually a super big point that took me a while to learn. (I still sometimes don't catch how this plays out.) What I suspect is that a large number of people who get pulled into discourse end up missing this. Takes don't exist in a vacuum; they all have context & timing.
What I've learned is most of what's said in discourse is fundamentally less important than *who* is saying it, to *whom*, and *when/why* The decontextualization of all of that is sometimes accidental, but also can be intentionally done to drive harassment, so watch for that too.
"Men can't be lesbians" (when it's in good faith) is generally referring to entitled cis men who demand sexual access to lesbians "Men can be lesbians" (when it's in good faith) is about gender-diverse folk who willingly call themselves men (not trans women, 99.9% of whom don't)
"That's a transmisogynistic dogwhistle" (when said in good faith) means how terfs can echo it as a catchphrase, as part of invalidation of trans women "That's not a transmisogynistic dogwhistle" (when said in good faith) means how terfs don't use that phrase all that much though

Referring to this: x.com/swilua/status/…
when we’re discussing social media rhetoric in class, one thing we talk about is how the identity/persona of the named author (incl their picture, handle, name, verification status, etc.) is an extremely important part of how the post functions and whether or not it’s effective
I totally didn't mean echo some of the ideas touched on by Dr. Frizzle and the people discussing this point, but there's actually a really broad concept here about speaker and target audience(s)

@Swilua @gjfitzgerald @d_feldman @donatj So no, I’m not going to pass them because it would hurt their feelings if I didn’t or hurt their job prospects. If they can’t grasp lesson number 1 of research that it is about facts, they need to pick a different career path.
@Swilua @gjfitzgerald @d_feldman @donatj The “it’s here to stay” argument is frankly irritating me more with each passing day. I have students who want to become consultants to firms like MacKenzie who give advice to literal governments. If they can’t be troubled to do real research with facts, PEOPLE WILL DIE.
@Swilua @gjfitzgerald @d_feldman @donatj Yes, this. As a professional researcher, ChatGPT is most decidedly NOT a reference tool. It can be used ~adequately~ for other things but this is not one of them. It is a crapshoot whether it returns factual info & you cannot adequately verify which is which from within the tool.
@collectdust @pedsmd2b @Swilua I'm willing to believe you have a purple skull. Can't disprove it, doesn't change my life at all. Your skull is purple! That's so cool.
They are also sometimes called bedstraw because the clingy quality that also gives them the name cleavers means that a big mess of them hold together firmly. This made them good for mattress stuffing because they would hold their shape. Hence “bedstraw” reveals a historical use
