• OK if you see me on the Internet for the next two hours, tell me to GET OFF AND KEEP WORKING ON YOUR #SUNDANCE SCRIPT, DANIELA. GOTDAMN. ty #
• Q4B Make sure u research & pick right program for U + secure multiple working mentor relationships, post-grad network cultivation. #wjchat #
• Q4A Nothing. I never went to J-School and I have many clips I'm proud of. My path worked for me – wouldn't suggest it for everyone. #wjchat #
• I'd like to see a core option for data journalism + ethics, for those who want to bring darkness to light w/ masses of data. #wjchat #
• I wouldn't advise all young ppl 2 go 2 J-School these days. I'd tell many 2 intern at hyperlocal + build clips, start a Tumblr. #wjchat #
• Q2B Hire more women and people of color to teach reporting 101 & ethics, help newbs not be so sheltered/afraid 2 cover tough topics. #wjchat #
• Q2A Pay attention to what successful journos who never went to J-school are doing because they clearly know a few things 🙂 #wjchat #
• Q2A Invest in sustainable hyper-local news sites that involve working journos as mentors/guest editors, hire recent grads. #wjchat #
• This was my first year intentionally only "watching" the #Olympics on social media. It was fun. Didn't miss TV, still stayed informed. #
• I'm having misc. tech issues today. Pardon my scattered tweety-ness. #
• "Do you remember back in the spring/every morning, birds would sing" 🙂 <3 #
• #nowplaying Talking Heads – This Must Be the Place http://t.co/4chnC5Wn #
• LOL RT @ckanal Job applicant asked to add some "color" to his application, he responds w/ color fonts..and Comic Sans. http://t.co/mqUmk3Q3 #
• For example, I joined the @BxLGBTQCenter board to support services for LGBTQ youth. Everyone has their priorities. Gay marriage is not mine. #
• For ME, gay marriage isn't t right I want to focus on fighting 4. That doesn't mean I support #chicfila & their hate funding & worker abuse. #
• Not a black/white paradigm. I can B queer, B against #chicfila worker harassment/anti chicfila & feel that gay marriage is not #1 LGBT issue #
• In case my stance wasn't clear: 1) I don't support #chicfila funding hate groups/legislation 2) I'm against #chicfila workers being abused. #
• .@heathr I don't support Chik-Fil-A funding oppressive legislation. My tweets = re: bigots using "free speech" as excuse 2 shit on workers. in reply to heathr #
• I will now go play video games to awaken my brain & then work on my #sundance script for the second round deadline. #peaceyall #
• For #chilfila tweet stream, here's my last interjection: the employees don't get paid extra 2 deal wi abusive garbage, from gay or straight. #
• But no matter where you stand on gay marriage, your views shldnt make a #chicfila employee feel their safety is being threatened at work. #
• 2/2 I'm happy for my gay married friends but this queer sees other rights as a bigger priority for LGBT, especially POC. My two cents. #
• I'm one of many queer folks who doesn't see gay marriage as a priority, compared to jobs, education and food security for LGBT. (1/2) #
• Homophobic in reference to #chifila = Interpreting a concern for worker's rights as trying to force gay marriage down ppl's throats. Lulz. #
• When a homophobic AA woman accuses me of "forcing an agenda down ppl's throats" = doing the oppressor's work for him. Sad. #keepitmovin #
• Thankfully most of t hetero people I know are informed enough 2 get that free speech doesn't excuse workplace harassment, which is illegal. #
• Eat at Chic-Fil-A or don't. But don't harass the employees. That's what's happening now – to gay & straight. Not rocket science. #
• .@SandraRose I am not forcing anything & I am not "you people." I am against workplace harassment of straight & gay ppl. Good day. in reply to SandraRose #
• For an example of homophobia cloaked as "free speech," see the tweet I just retweeted. #
• .@SandraRose Excuse you, I'm not attempting to force "my sexual lifestyle on others," I'm talking about workplace harassment. We're done. in reply to SandraRose #
• Assholes across the nation R using #chicfila as an excuse to defend their bile as "free speech." Gay & straight. Gross. http://t.co/mdh9KX8q #
• If its not clear 2 ppl yet, ppl used t "appreciation day" as an excuse 2 make Chic-Fil-A employees miserable on both sides. That is bullshit #
• Difference btwn "celebrating marriage" & calling a Chic-Fil-A LGBT employee a faggot. Bigots want to hide their hate behind free speech. #
• .@SandraRose The Chic-Fil-A CEO and his "appreciation day" supported a culture of hate, hurting his employees on the job. Inexcusable. in reply to SandraRose #
• .@SandraRose I believe in free speech but that doesn't have anything to do with Chic-Fil-A LGBT employees being harassed on the job. 1/2 in reply to SandraRose #
• lmfao!! “@meganamram: I don't get why they call it a "test" when Rorschach just painted my mom as a Jew-spider over and over again…” #
