This is my last tweet on Twitter.
It's been so many years, and it hurts to see it falling apart but I've also been having a blast on the #fediverse.
Come join us! Find me @iros@vis.social or elsewhere: linktr.ee/ireneros.

Some good advice for quitting twitter:
- get a backup of your data. I haven't been able to get mine but you should request it. I'm sure that service is overloaded.
- leave a final tweet with where you can be found next.
- disable, don't delete your account, to keep your handle.

Is everyone's feed just crypto bros and horrifying MAGA people? I'm seeing literally nothing of value. I guess @elonmusk just wants to recreate truth social but on here...? It's sad to watch this die. If you're still here, thanks for many years of whatever this used to be.

Let’s talk about the legal problems Elon just created for himself with this cruel new staff email.
You’re fired if you don’t commit to long hours at high intensity within 24 hours?

Thinking about grad school next year? Interested in visualization, machine learning interpretability, or human/AI interaction? Consider Harvard. @viegasf and I are continuing to build our lab!

Tech layoffs affect immigrants the most!
5–15% of the 100k layoffs are H-1B holders.
In 60 days (30-45 in practice), they must find a new job or be deported from the US.
Families who've been here 10 yrs are told "We don't need you anymore. Leave."

I just finished testifying against SB 454 in Columbus. Thanks to @EqualityOhio for asking me here; whatever the outcome of this bill, I’m glad to have had the chance to stand up for the safety of trans youth

A lot of folks seem to be really mad about this paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. These folks at BU have synthesized a COVID variant that combined the deadliness of the origin variant with the spreadability of Omicron. Can someone who knows more share their sentiment on this?
I have no answers to anything, but on this site you can buy artwork by Ukrainian children, and most of the cost goes straight to them and their families. leleka.me/ #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineWar

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

According to a document obtained by the Kyiv Independent, just a day before the company’s public announcement to shut down its cloud services in Russia, SAP had sent its Russian customers a letter offering to migrate their data outside of the country.

I'm not even sure how to process the depth of sadness here. My heart is just broken. If you aren't sure what to do, call your representatives, write NATO, write the White House. Donate. Do anything. #Ukraine #SlavaUkrayini
#Ukraine family leaving their daughter to defend for her freedom & all Ukraine Citizens.

It's inconceivable that the West, while having the capacity to #ClosetheSkyoverUkraine in one way or another - just drags their feet and watches Ukrainian cities and towns bombed out. About 10k killed just in Mariupol. This will be your eternal shame

The video shows how Russian tanks purposefully fire at residential buildings in Mariupol. Mariupol did not wait for fighter planes from the West. Will we have a chance to wait them?

These are real intercepted calls: Russian soldiers in Ukraine call their close ones back in Russia to tell how it is going so far. Looting and war crimes included. Please, share! The world must know the truth of what they’re doing to our homes and people.

Please take 10 minutes of your time to write to your representatives to step up our support of Ukraine. We are on the wrong side of history here. #Ukraine linktr.ee/RazomForUkraine
