Then, almost overnight, it was gone.


When Twitter was sold, the community I had come to depend on was instantly erased.


My little corner of joy amidst the chaos collapsed. And with it, I lost access to people who truly mattered to me. People who saw me.

Who supported the work. Who helped me feel connected in a world built to isolate.

It shook me.


It made me realize just how fragile connection is when it's built on platforms that were never designed for our safety.

What does real connection feel like—to you?


Because if I’m honest, I’ve been grieving what it used to feel like for me.

Over the last decade, I spent years navigating harm—finding ways to not just survive, but thrive.

I built safety in pockets, created meaningful relationships, and carved out spaces that felt like home. Twitter, for all its flaws, became one of those spaces.

A place where I could connect with people who got it.


Where we could learn, laugh, vent, and grow—together.

and that we are resting now because the moment will come for us to step back into our leadership roles as the moral compass of this country…but until then…we dance…we laugh…and yes, we rest.

2. WE NEED COMMUNITY MORE THAN EVER. We need spaces free from algorithmic manipulation and rooted in authentic connection if we have any real chance of building and existing in a more just and equitable world.

I’ve just returned home from attending a Black Women in Tech event and here are my thoughts.

Two things are very clear:

1. Black women understand that rest IS the revolution. The way that we’ve tapped out to center ourselves and our overall wellbeing is an act of resistance our elders and ancestor NEVER could participate in. It is very clear to us that, at the moment, THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT...

WORDS ARE IMPORTANT

They play a vital role in how we understand and navigate the world

This is why I try to avoid using the marketing term “AI”, since artificial intelligence does NOT yet exist

These are just more complex programs

But I struggle with what term to use

I've spent the 1st 100 days observing the chaos with the understanding that unfortunately it will get worse because the majority of white folx STILL won't accept their ROLE in getting us here and their RESPONSIBILITY in developing a consistent, DEMONSTRATED antiracist practice as the ONLY way out

Until “good white folx” are ready to have SERIOUS conversations about their tacit allegiance to white supremacy then you will ALWAYS get this wrong

Your disbelief, and outright violent denial at times, that EVERY system, institution, and policy that “governs” us is ROOTED in white supremacy AND anti-Blackness AND is DESIGNED to privilege whiteness at the expense of “the other” IS THE PROBLEM

That’s it…no mystery here 🤷🏾♀️

When white folx ask me “what are the greatest barriers they must overcome in order to truly develop a consistent, DEMONSTRATED antiracist practice”, my response is ALWAYS some form of the following:

1. Y’all have to internalize that your presence AND/OR absence, in any situation, ignites systems, institutions, and policies ROOTED in white supremacy AND anti-Blackness on your behalf AND against “others”

Also, be prepared for when white folx FINALLY start FEELING the full impact of this decision to blame Black folx because whiteness can ONLY be casted in the roles of hero or victim but NEVER the villain

It’s a tale as old as time

And to ALL you “good white folx” who’ve spent YEARS trying to tone police MY Black voice because I made you “uncomfortable” as I tried to warn you of what would happen when the parasite of white supremacy started to eat its host

Buckle up because you asked for what’s next 🤷🏾♀️

Black folx, we did our job…we understood the treat, we met the moment and I’m so proud of us 🫶🏾✊🏾😘

As I lie here in the dark processing my feelings regarding HALF the country being ok with the worst human attributes not only being celebrated, but elevated, there’s one message that keeps repeating in my head:

We have to keep shining the light ✊🏾💛

I’ve recently realized that I’ve been viewing these last few months of this election through an unexpected but appreciated lens regarding the differences between Black and white women…

@alfiekohn yes that’s the manifestation but doesn’t help folx understand the cause…my post a few days ago is my attempt at pulling back that onion https://dair-community.social/@KimCrayton1/113419988979133234

If you don’t “believe” that EVERY system, institution, and policy that governs our lives are ROOTED in white supremacy and anti-Blackness then let’s compare events from 2020 vs 2024

The “justification” for killing a Black man was that he was engaged in illegal activity and yet almost 1/2, majority white, of this country wants to reinstall a DOCUMENTED crime family

If this doesn’t HIGHLIGHT the inequity that exists then you’re someone I’d deem unsafe and would treat you accordingly

Please do NOT ever use the term “white fragility” to explain/justify white cowardice and weakness

Yes white folx are fragile but so is EVERYONE else DIRECTLY harmed by the systems, institutions, and policies rooted in white supremacy and anti-Blackness

You who are wondering how we arrived at the “Hitler good?” part of this journey just know that it was because YOU’VE IGNORED THE WARNINGS FROM THE MOST VULNERABLE

We’re here because YOU’VE tolerated the dehumanization of the “other” for GENERATIONS…this was the OBVIOUS endpoint

AND THIS IS WHY TWITTER WAS TARGETED

If your ENTIRE agenda is to remain in and to legitimize power by ensuring that citizens are uneducated than manipulating the “town square”, used to get around the traditional gatekeepers of information, is vital
