We're putting the gun industry on notice while they're partying at #SHOTShow2023. Guns are the number one killer of children and teens, yet the gun industry aggressively market its products directly to us. Read our list of demands, then add your name: everytownsupportfund.org/gun…

It feels surreal to meet colleagues in-person after years of virtual meetings. (@RediTweets and I haven’t seen each other in-person since 2019!) The second picture was taken in my favorite Little Tokyo restaurant. DM for the address. It’s a secret location… #remotework

As my team and I at @ExponentDestiny work to establish and expand equity in the metaverse (though upskilling and reskilling low-income young people into metaverse technology sector jobs), we are using evidence-based strategies to ensure the metaverse is adopted responsibly.
Like our current dominant ways to experience social media (2D content that is primarily photography and video), education and awareness around responsible use of immersive social media will increasingly become more important.
Immersive social media in the metaverse is already here. Hardware can increasingly support high quality immersive virtual experiences while software has features and functionality that make socializing in the metaverse easy and fun.
